To the editor:

I made the mistake of supporting Ralph Nader for president in the 2000 election. The repercussions were enormous. The economic meltdown and two wars resulted. I respect everyone’s free will but must point out that a vote for our Green Party candidate in the 21st District is a vote for the Republican. Ms. Stefanik was groomed by George W. Bush, hand-picked by Karl Rove to infiltrate our district, and funded by the Koch brothers. She avoids the issues totally or backpedals her previous career stances. If we lose this district to the Republicans, we will be jeopardizing all we hold important in women’s rights, voting rights, health care and Social Security. Our opponents tramp in unison. We must all pull together and vote for Aaron Woolf. The outcome is simply too important.
