Letter to the editor: Van Orden is unfit to serve

Posted

To the editor,

I can only wonder if my Congressman is alcoholic, mentally ill, or has Tourette’s Syndrome. Treatment is available for all of these conditions - especially with the comprehensive health coverage provided for federal elected officials (the kind of health care we all deserve).
At this point, however, Rep. Van Orden exposes himself repeatedly as unfit to serve the people of the Third Congressional District, with repeated outbursts of profanity toward people of all ages, young and old, and an apparent inability to conduct himself in a professional manner or contribute to solving the pressing problems of our district, our country, or our world.
I wish him well with any health care he might pursue - but wish him farewell as a Member of Congress, since all of us constituents deserve far better.
