To the editor:
I want to address the ugly and false content of the article written by Ms. Shedd in last Sunday’s edition. This letter is actually a SPAM-like email that has been going around, and I am surprised the Herald-Banner published it verbatim without much thought to where else it might have gone or the motives of its author.
As we all know, Dr. Deuell is one of the most conservative Republican members of the Texas State Senate. To question his credentials based on phony special interest scorecards that distort less than 1 percent of the votes of the legislature is absurd. Furthermore, the votes Ms. Shedd uses are gleaned from a scorecard that is more than two years old, picking out votes that Senator Deuell cast almost three years ago. We had an election already since then in 2010. Why is Ms. Shedd bringing them up now, during this election?
The full and true record shows Senator Deuell is leading the fight against Obamacare and helped balance our state budget without raising taxes. During his time in the Texas Senate, Senator Deuell has amassed a voting record that is 100 percent pro-life, 100 percent pro-second amendment and 100 percent pro-tort reform. To suggest this record is “not conservative” is patently ridiculous.
Senator Deuell’s integrity and Republican credentials are impeccable. This is why he was unanimously selected by his Republican colleagues in the State Senate as their past Chairman of the Texas State Senate Republican Caucus. Based on this and his invaluable seniority, Senator Deuell will likely be considered for one of many top positions in the State Senate next year should he be reelected.
Senator Bob Deuell is a doctor we trust at home and a conservative Republican leader badly needed in Austin.
Sincerely,
Justin Young
Greenville

Vote for new Y
I write to support the YMCA bond election from a perspective of the role they provide in the health of our community. As a health care professional, I have long understood and supported the need and development of a comprehensive Health and Wellness Center which could serve not only as a fitness center and playground, but as a cornerstone for building and maintaining healthy bodies and lifestyles.

In support of new Y
A number of Greenville citizens have asked if we can afford a new YMCA. After many years of being a part of the Y, I think the question is, can we afford not to build a new YMCA?

It has come to my attention that Tyson Cox has declined a candidate’s forum with Dan Perkins sponsored by GEUS. The forum was to be broadcast on their network.

Cox good choice
I was born and raised in Greenville and have lived here most of my life, except for the two years my husband, Perry M. Smith, was in dental school and the two years he practiced dentistry in West Texas.

Endorsing Cox
We don’t often write letters to the editor and even more rarely endorse political candidates. But we could not pass up the opportunity to offer our wholehearted endorsement for Tyson Cox.
