To the Editor:


Elections... Plummeting Real Estate Values Wall Street Volatility...Trying to distinguish the "Good Guys" from the "Bad Guys" - it seems our lives have never been in such upheaval.


In 1952, I voted for the first time. Then, and in each election to follow, I cast my ballot in support of the candidate whom I believed would lead with the highest degree of character and integrity - not because of a particular party affiliation. In my view, the political divide between Democrats and Republicans has become increasingly rancorous, and threatens to compromise the intellectual honesty required to choose the most qualified leader.


I have known Fred Camillo for over 30 years. Ever since he was a child, Fred demonstrated an unwavering desire to help others, and quickly became known as a "go-to" guy in our neighborhood. I can honestly say he loves this town more than anyone I know, and cannot imagine a finer individual to lead us through these days of uncertainty.


In an era of distasteful political rhetoric, I suggest that we put aside party affiliations, use common sense and support Fred Camillo in his run for state representative for the 151st District.
