NO TO OLLIE AND PAT

{LEAD} Oliver North is the state Republican Party's nominee for the U.S. Senate.

I'm very angry at Charles Robb, not because of all this stupid stuff about the happenings in Virginia Beach. I'm upset about his vote for Clarence Thomas. For the first time in my voting life, I was going to vote for Jim Miller, a Republican.

{REST} I am a retired military-service member. I care about things like health care, jobs, the economy, a woman's right to choose and your right to disagree with what I think. I will work hard to defeat Oliver North.

Virginia and the GOP can do better. This choice should shame all Virginians.

Republicans always talk morality, character and family. How can they ever speak those words after nominating a man who acknowledged publicly that he lied to Congress. In this time of escalating youth crime, what a lesson to send to our youth: You can lie and deceive and still be a U.S. senator. Thank Pat Robertson for this gift to Virginia.
