I just wanted to say that it was very refreshing to read the editorial written by Dan McDonnell on Oct. 5. In this state, and especially at this school, having a negative opinion of John Kerry is not the popular thing.
I support President Bush proudly, for reasons and issues not widely
discussed during this election. When I had shown my support with “W
’04” stickers, I had them written on and then ripped down. I have since replaced them because I am not ashamed to support Bush. It was nice to see somebody else was not ashamed to express his opinion even if it went against the grain.
Thank you for writing and publishing the editorial. Not everyone at UMass is for Kerry.
