Why you should vote

1) Men and women have given their lives so you could.
2) Otherwise you will get the SOS you've been getting.  (so yes it is somewhat of a distress call).

WHO is the letter writer to the Fort Worth Star-Telegram?  A Haltom City councilman. 

Haltom City mayor

The news is filled with throngs of humanity risking their lives in unarmed protest to secure the opportunity to have a voice in their leadership. Several generations of U.S. soldiers and their families have faced the ultimate sacrifice to maintain the basic right of free elections.

Jack O. Lewis' Tuesday letter to the editor was an insult to all who have served this country or lost a loved one in the service of this country. Unlike Lewis, I think the few dollars spent to administer an election for mayor once every two years is the best investment Haltom City residents will ever make; Haltom City is fortunate to have a choice on May 14.

Please join me in writing in Bob Watkins, a true man of integrity, for mayor of Haltom City.
