To The Editor,<\/strong><\/p>\n

\"Letters1\"<\/a>The legislature should amend Pennsylvania law to permit all registered voters the ability to vote in our Primary elections. \u00a0This way individuals who are registered as a\u00a0member of any\u00a0party\u00a0would have an early say in who will represent them and their needs in government. Changing current law may be the way to free ourselves from the iron fisted partisan politics that have caused gridlock in Harrisburg and Washington.<\/p>\n

We have all suffered from the unwillingness and inability of many partisan legislators to compromise and work together.\u00a0 By permitting Independents and others to vote in Primary elections, candidates will need to be more in tune\u00a0with the needs and desires of the people of their community.\u00a0Allowing\u00a0all registered voters\u00a0a voice\u00a0in primary elections may be the solution that so many are looking for, maybe then we could have legislators who will work together instead of working to stop the other side.<\/p>\n
