LETTER: Rafael Lopez is a better choice
Published: October 30, 2009
Your selection of Democrat Luke Torian in the 52nd District was an unfortunate blow to those of us who strive to keep our families, communities and churches strong. Mr. Torian’s views on civil unions and
abortion rights take away from family values.
A far better choice for endorsement for the community would have been Republican Rafael Lopez.

Based on what is written below, Luke Torian is not fit to represent the 52nd. Therefore, Lopez is the only choice for me!
“Luke Torian is a pretty poor nominee for this district when you consider Democrats had better alternatives to pick from and Torian has enough political baggage to fill a bus. Rumors about infidelity, maintaining an extravagant lifestyle while serving as a church pastor, and his behavior at a local golf club swirl around this district while members of Torian’s congegation wrestle with Torian’s recent announced support of homosexuality, amnesty for illegal aliens, and other doctrinal deviations not to mention the novel idea of someone both serving as a pastor and as an elected official. A strong opponent would demolish someone like Torian, whose only political experience prior to running was helping to organize an ecumenical group supporting the cause of granting amnesty to illegal aliens.

I am a mother and when someone profess to be a man of God and teachs God’s word and will, then takes positions agains it while running for office. This is a double minded man, and if he can do this with his lifes work, then image what he can do to others if put in such a position. Besides Luke Torian has divided his church in seeking office, giving no attention to those against it, so again we see someone all for oneselve, wanting to serve as the voice for people in the community. Hardly, if you can divid your own church, what makes you think he can bring together a community. I don’t think God would be mad if I chose to vote for someone who did not contridict his word for the sack of political office.
Vote Rafael Lopez, a better choice for the PEOPLE.
Supporting abortion rights and civil unions does not take away from my family values. My family values are not dependent on other peoples opinions and yours should not be either.
“Mr. Torian’s views on civil unions and abortion rights take away from family values.“
What does this have to do with serving the District?
Are we back to supporting the Bob McDonnell thesis - which even Bob McDonnell downplays?
Or does Ms. Collins’ letter reveal the not so secret agenda of the Republican Party?
