<span class="bold">Dear Editor:</span></p><p>I believe there are good and honest people in various political parties. There are also people in the various political parties that are given political party for their own self-serving ends. Be it power, money, ego, or any number of vices, and choose a party based on which will best serve their own interest and not ours. When we blindly follow one party, only, we are guilty of a form of prejudice, that allows us to not make decisions individually on the quality of that particular person. But to simply, but then corporately into a basket that we accept or reject. This is a grievous error and disservice to our country as citizens.</p><p>We have the ability in this country to choose, quote &#x201C;news sources&#x201D; that pander to and support any point of view that we choose to believe. Many of these sources propagate a certain viewpoint because it sells advertisement and makes money for them not because it is the truth. Truth has to be honestly and diligently searched for. It&#x2019;s not an easy task.</p><p>Let us as citizens be honest, diligent, and without prejudice in the search for honest and wise candidates for office.</p><p> <span class="italic">Wayne Fredrickson</span></p><p> <span class="italic">Harrisonville</span>
