Rick Jore did nothing wrong

Editor,

In a recent letter to the editor by Rick Jore the question was asked: What did I do wrong?

Rick, you did nothing wrong.

This is not about anything you as a candidate did "wrong." This is about the attempt on the part of the political establishment [the Democrat and Republican parties] to punish any and all who would dare to challenge their choke-holds on power.

George Washington loathed political parties for just this reason. It may well be coming full circle in our Constitutional Republic that the same effort be required to rid ourselves of the power brokers who have systematically destroyed the election system. Time will tell.
