Recently there were some very nice letters to the editor in the Observer-Dispatch about Richard Hanna. They’re pasted below, but you can also click on the headline to link to the Observer-Dispatch’s Web site.
This letter appeared today:
Vote for Richard Hanna and get the real deal
Richard Hanna spoke briefly at his recent campaign barbecue. He was brief, charmingly eloquent and easily likeable.
The only promise made was honest representation. Representation that honors hard work, achievement and the acknowledgement that all else cannot exist without them.
His is not the platform of a professional politician. Richard Hanna’s like us. He wants the best for the 24th Congressional District. That “best” is an improved economy that will provide the kind of future that offers opportunity.
It’s not a promise of an endless stream of government assistance, or another “stimulus” package building curbs for sidewalks that don’t exist. Richard Hanna’s campaign is low-key and rises from the bottom to the top, not the other way around. It needs to be noted that Hanna doesn’t need the job. He’s making the run thinking he can make things better.
Richard Hanna’s not going to hand us schemes we don’t want and then follow up with presenting the bill to the four generations of our progeny needed to pay for them.

Hard-working Hanna would work hard for us
Let’s be realistic. A successful businessman makes a profit.
If you were a successful businessman, wouldn’t you have a diverse portfolio of investments, including commodities, utilities, oil, etc.?
I’ve known Rich Hanna for 40 years, from a young man working from sunup to sundown operating heavy machinery up on Deerfield Hill, to the successful businessman he is today.
I don’t know about you, but I want someone who knows how to make things work, as my representative in Congress.
I want someone who is not afraid of the hard work it takes to get the job done right. This November, we have a chance to have Rich work for us in Washington.
The taxpayers have been beaten over the head enough, lately. Let’s give Rich Hanna a chance to help stop the bleeding.
