Your Opinion: Response to Gibson

Dear Editor:

In a recent Your Opinion letter Sue Gibson noted "Rep. Luetkemeyer sent a response laden with lies." She noted that "Leutkemeyer spouts outlandish statistics designed to elicit an emotional reaction but cannot provide his sources."

I find it odd that Ms. Gibson saw fit not to quote the "outlandish statistics" nor the source of statistics that she believes would prove Rep. Luetkemeyer's to be false.

If Ms. Gibson continues to call people with whom she disagrees liars, perhaps she will provide documentation supporting her claims.
