Obama has liberal record
To the editor:
Barack Obama has one of the most liberal voting records in the U.S. Senate. He rejects free market vision of government. His first federal Senate bill was in August 2007 about Pell grants and he cast 130 “present” votes while in the Illinos Senate. Obama said he reveres the American flag: “I don’t refuse to wear flag pins” but “fact check” said he refused to wear a flag pin in 2007 and that he voted for a non-binding tax increase on $42K income.

Morlino to honor the farmers and the rural community and pray for the harvest after a troubled growing season.
