Dear Sanders County Ledger Editor,

This is in response to Ms. Hassan’s letter on September 24.

Letters like yours that speak from the standpoint of authority and are not factually backed up represent the entangled ambiguities which confuse and distort reality. For example, Val Demings, a Black woman now representing Florida in congress, was previously Orlando’s chief of police. Because of her leadership, crime in that area was reduced.

Regarding protesting, are you aware that your right to vote might be dependent upon it? The persistent protests of women in 1917 is what brought about change in giving women the right to vote.

As a over 70-year resident and supporter of Sanders County, the desire to enrich brings more joy than does echoing unsupported fear induced opinions.

Jean E. Morrison,

Formerly of Plains, voter and resident of Sanders County for 70+ years
