To the Editor:

The non-partisan special election to pick a successor to recently deceased Charlie Norwood, US Representative for Georgia's 10th District, is over, and although my choice for the slot (Libertarian James "Jim" Sendelbach) did not win, our neighbors in District 10 did pick a candidate who, if his campaign promises hold, will, like Congressman Ron Paul from Texas, carry around a copy of the US Constitution in his pocket and will, like Congressman Paul, commit himself to restoring government according to the Constitution as our Founding Fathers intended. Describing himself as a "strict constitutionalist," Dr. Paul Broun, Jr. is an opponent of illegal immigration, a proponent of private property rights, a support of abolishing the IRS, is a member of the NRA, is pro-religious freedom, and anti-ACLU and activist Federal Judges who, he observes, are "destroying America's heritage of religions freedom and religious expression." Things could be worse.
Cordially,
Chuck Esposito, Suches, Ga.
