Letters to Editor

Editor:

I’m sure the Republican Club did not add “America First” specifically because “it's become the political slogan of white nationalist groups” (Letters, Dec. 21). What an unkind thing to imply.

I believe in America first, as all Americans should. I doubt most Americans see that as a white nationalist slogan.

We have been blessed by God as the greatest nation ever, and America should always come “first.” I don’t care who says it. As long as they mean it!

Diane Stanton Mutual 3 Editor:

This is to answer Lee Hoyt’s letter (Dec. 21) with regards to the Republican Club’s recent name change. We added “America First” to emphasize our allegiance to our great country!

It has nothing to do with political slogans of white nationalist groups. There are, today, certain movements which attempt to destroy our country and push toward a one world government. We as a club are strongly opposed to that. We support and defend our right to exist as a sovereign nation.

We are one nation under God! Amen.

R. Gene Vesely vice president, America First Republican Club
