LOUIS W. MEISSNER, Kennewick

President Obama is dismantling this great country of ours into a socialist state. He has done a lot of damage to our freedoms and free enterprise system already, but you haven't seen anything yet if he gets re-elected to a second term.

He wants the government to control your whole life: Obamacare, more government jobs, more hidden taxes that he says are not a tax, more environmental controls beyond reason, more gun controls taking our right to bear arms and taking more measures to weaken our military.

In short, he will do a lot more executive orders. He has no regard for the Constitution or Congress. He will win by destroying us with our national debt.

Mitt Romney is our only hope to save this great nation of ours. He has the experience it takes.
