Dear editor:

There have been many stories in many newspapers regarding our politicians, their lobbyists and money.

No matter how well-known, no matter how reputable, the source of the phrase, “Take my word for it,” should be noted as a warning and the possible danger it covers should be carefully examined.

We must object when the moneyed voice appears to be influencing the conduct of our politicians.

It is the open ethical voice we must firmly present to them, in order to balance their need for campaign funds.
