Omigosh! The Aug. 15 Public Forum had four letters of hatred against Gov. Mitt Romney. That's too much. Considering the state of our union, people are not up on the truth because The Tribune does not publish a fair newspaper.

We now have 8.3 percent unemployment, 100 million Americans receiving some means-tested federal welfare, a $16 trillion national debt ($5 trillion under Obama), entrepreneurship rates (new business startups) the lowest in 30 years, gross domestic product growing at a sluggish 1.5 percent (and decreasing), gas prices doubling under Obama … the list goes on.

President Barack Obama has instigated a feeling of hate for the wealthy. He's created a depressed feeling across our country. I can see it in the Forum letters. It's a shame.

We need a change. We need someone who can help us progress, someone who offers true hope and a united country. Let's get rid of Obama and elect Romney.
