====LTE in P-G in September 2007 in favor of Mark DeSantis====
=====GOP freshness=====
Pittsburgh is truly at a crossroads in this 21st century with the upcoming mayoral race. We have been doing things way too long in a 19th- and 20th-century mind-set. In these days of the Internet, mobile phones, 24-hour news and information sources plus a global economy, dire change is needed and now! Otherwise our city cannot ever hope to utilize its awesome potential.
The best way to describe this is by using the dictionary. "Democrat" is found in your dictionary between "deceased" and "dinosaur," while "Republican" is located between "renaissance" and "resurrection." In other words, the difference is between old and new.
Therefore, to make sure Pittsburgh becomes new again, we must not continue being ruled by the old. I urge all my fellow Pittsburghers to make everything new again by selecting Mark DeSantis as our next mayor. On Nov. 6, we can bring Pittsburgh instantly into the 21st century. Join me at your polling place and vote for Mr. DeSantis. You'll be glad you did!
