To the editor:

I was saddened to read the letter (SWR Oct 21) wherein W.F. of Clinton writes in opposition to R-71.

No one is seeking special recognition or “subsidies” here; supporters of R-71 are seeking equal civil and human rights for our neighbors.

I was shocked by the statement, “European native populations have decreased ... due to the de-emphasis of marriage. If the trend is not reversed, Europe will change to a Moslem culture.” It seems that there is more afoot in W.F.’s letter than simple concern for the survival of the human race.

If you haven’t already done so, I urge everyone to vote to support R-71.
