Letters: No more Reagan-Bush conservatism in Kansas, and axing the Chiefs’ chop
Just chop it
Want fans to stop doing the tomahawk chop? Stop playing the war chant at Arrowhead Stadium.

Vote for all of us
As a great-grandson of W.P. Lambertson, who represented Kansas in the the U.S. House of Representatives from 1929 to 1945, and as a frequent visitor to Kansas and a regular contributor to The Fairview Enterprise newspaper, I am dismayed at the popular political outlook of Kansas.
Having lived in Colorado for 13 years and the Chicago area for 31 years, I have grown used to hearing slights from people who believe Kansas is flat, slow and backward. And, although I am not a Republican, I believe the recent voting record of Kansas does not reflect the values of my great-grandfather, the much touted Reagan-Bush years or traditional conservatism.
President Donald Trump is not of the party to dismantle the Soviet Union, promote compassionate feelings among Americans or admire the Constitution. Trump and his allies are loyal to an America where the dollar is almighty and the facts are distorted to promote a cult of personality.
We, as Americans from all backgrounds and states, need to think critically for the next few weeks and decide the best course of action for equality among our own people and for the best interests of our military, important allies and our future generations.
We are better together. Vote that way,
