Annette Tomsha: Bee’s advice to not vote is unpatriotic

Re “Not voting better than backing Trump” (Page 3B, May 5): Your op-ed headline is disgraceful and disrespectful to the voting process. Not vote at all? Think of the message you are sending to all voters, especially those voting for the first time. Voting is a constitutional right that must be exercised. If we stop exercising these rights, we lose everything.

Annette Tomsha, Atwater
