Another Republican spreading false information

Letter to the Editor

Dear Editor,

In your Dec. 10th edition Sandee Samoska wrote that Mark Kelly urged the military to disobey all orders from President Trump, suggesting that all orders from him are illegal.  What she wrote is a blatant lie. 

What Mark Kelly and others said is that military personnel should not obey unlawful orders.  President Trump was never mentioned. Following unlawful orders may lead to a military court-martial.  This is just another attempt to miss inform the people.  If a lie is told and heard often enough people begin to believe it. 

Shame on Sandee Samoska and folks who spread misinformation from both sides of the aisle.  We must demand truth from both sides.
