Letter: Nixon saves trees
How many trees have been cut down, so that the candidates running for elected office in District 20 can tell the voters how much they want to protect the environment? Candidates have given away thousands of flyers. Some candidates have already sent out multiple mailings. Most of these say practically the same thing over and over again. Some mailings are folded and open up, some open out, some are just oversized.
I hope the voters will count how much mail they get from each candidate and how big each mailed piece is. With over 28,000 registered Democrats in District 20, that’s a lot of paper that will probably end up in the trash and a lot of trees that had to be cut down.
My wife, Diane Lee Nixon is running for the House of Delegates in District 20. Her handouts were not as fancy as the other candidates, because she used recycled paper. She wants the voters to know why they should vote for her, so she will do a few mailings before the election. But hers will not be oversized, they won’t open up. or out. They won’t fill up your mailbox every other day.
They will say what she stands for and what she wants to do. When Diane says that she wants to protect the environment, save trees, and preserve habitat, she is proving it by the way she is conducting her campaign.
I’m very proud of her high standards. When you get her mailing before the election, Diane hopes you will read it, and then recycle it.
