Letter to the editor

Government out of control I can hold back no longer. All members of the House voted to pay the 800,000 “non-essential” employees their full salary after they return from their “vacation”. The Senate will agree and Obama will sign. It will be business as usual with all in government taken care of. They care not about the rest of us, just plain citizens. Veterans visiting Washington on Honor Flights are denied the full benefit of their three day visit. Some are veterans from the Vietnam War, were they allowed to visit their memorial? Lincoln is covered up so he can’t be seen even from the street. I blame Obama for this insult and I also accuse him of penalizing the people of Arizona by closing the Grand Canyon to an estimated 18,000 daily visitors. He has great hatred for us all since we will not accede to his demands. Jack B. Walters October 6, 2013
