How Rude

Leon P. Randall, of Chico, worries about rudeness towards Wally in his letter to the editor of the Chico Enterprise Record.

While I agree that discourse between our representatives should be polite and respectful, it doesn't mean that it can't be honest. If people feel that Wally is not telling them the truth about a topic, like Social Security, it is not rude to say so.

This isn't to say that he hasn't been treated rudely on occasion, as I'm sure he has. But rudeness on the part of some is no reason for the rest of us to feel that we shouldn't speak our minds to our elected officials.
