Yankee‑doodle logic buries best of intentions

Hey Rusty Childress/American Freedom Riders, Word is, ‘you are not a bully and your agenda is solid.’ That is, until the Sonoran News exploits your presence as patriots, reducing your image to bullies chasing drunks into the desert.

I have nothing but respect for your patch and your efforts to change a system that continues to sell out every taxpaying American. It is no coincidence that crime is at an all‑time high and Arizona’s social services have been swamped by issues surrounding illegal immigration from ID theft to healthcare fraud. Your organization is in a position to do some good. Please refine that position and avoid the Linda Bentley collision between truth and fiction.

Yankee‑doodle logic will bury your best intentions as long as you are associated with dangerous white people like the Sonoran News.

I hope to see your organization on equal terms, at opposite ends, at the Saturday, January 13 rally.

I am a Mexican American, Arizona native doing the walk since 1949. We are not that far apart on the issues, and I also own Harleys (kick‑starts).
