TO THE EDITOR: Lt. Gov. Bev Perdue will bring fresh and new ideas as our next governor. Perdue understands that North Carolina needs new jobs to build a strong infrastructure in order to tackle the today's economy.
TO THE EDITOR: B.J. Lawson's policy positions on health care are extremely irresponsible.

Lawson continues his attack on science by staking out a position to the right of Bush on stem cells opposing research even on existing lines.

TO THE EDITOR: By now it is hard to believe that anyone does not know who Barack Obama is. So let me try to answer a few questions. Mr. Obama is an example of the American Dream. Obama is for health care for all Americans.
TO THE EDITOR: As a Bob Barr supporter I'd like to introduce the Libertarian candidate to those voters who were unaware of him up to this point. Barr's support of the Second Amendment his intention to leave regulation of gay marriage laws to the states his plan to end and avoid unnecessary wars and his economic resolutions were all very appealing to me.
TO THE EDITOR: If McCain wins not only will Sarah Palin be representing the U.S. she'll be very well-positioned for a presidential run in 2012. The best way to ensure that doesn't happen and to ensure that two smart tough and even-handed executives represent us isn't to abstain from voting — it's to vote for Sen. Obama and Sen. Biden today.
TO THE EDITOR: Jim Wynn has been serving North Carolina for 17 years on both the Court of Appeals and Supreme Court. He chairs the ABA's Judicial Division and is the first African-American to do so.
TO THE EDITOR:The University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill prides itself in its social activism and diverse student population. But while walking through the Pit today I was taken back to a time when diversity and acceptance didn't exist in our culture when I saw a campaign sign vandalized with an offensive word for homosexual.
TO THE EDITOR:How dumb can you be? The editorial board got it wrong on two issues last week. David Price has been a nonexistent representative. It's time for him to step down. Eve Carson's killers should get the death penalty and the DA has jurisdiction in the matter not the Carson's family. The federal government should step in because Orange County has the worst record on crimes in the country. Wake up.
TO THE EDITOR:I feel it necessary to speak out on the ""La Colina"" section of the DTH. I have nothing against immigration" but I am speaking out against the catering that is done for our neighbors to the south by having seemingly innocent sections such as La Colina or adding Spanish subtitles to our signs" and even voting ballots.

TO THE EDITOR: As physicians and medical educators at UNC we were disturbed by the misleading images and words that appeared in the display on campus last week. Even the title" ""Abortion: From Debate to Dialogue."" This display at our University sought only to scare through distortions of evidence.
TO THE EDITOR: I applaud the Carolina Athletic Association for attempting to make the student lottery ticket system better but their quick fix to saving the number of unused tickets is still unfair. Now instead of receiving two tickets when winning the lottery lottery winners will only receive one.
TO THE EDITOR: The writers on the Tar Heel as well as those at other student papers represent the future of journalism in America. So it is with great disappointment that I see them adopting the same flaws as their predecessors when it comes to campaign coverage.
TO THE EDITOR: In regards to the presentation by Justice for All the letters to the editor in Monday's paper have been the only support for the presentation I've seen or heard of from the campus. I correctly hoped that we as a student body were above propaganda-esque media presentation.

TO THE EDITOR: As a student who is proudly pro-choice I am disappointed with the community's reaction to last week's anti-abortion posters. There are plenty of good reasons out there to be pro-choice and people who take a side on this issue should know what they believe and why.
