Naming issues reveals political party leanings

Posted

The article ( Sept. 29) in the editorial section of the Bucks County Herald by the League of Women Voters titled “The three categories of eligible voters: Avs, SVs, and NVs” is an attempt to get all registered voters to the polls.

This is an important message that should be direct and unbiased, especially since the description below the LWV logo states “The League of Women Voters of Bucks County is a nonpartisan organization dedicated to providing voter education and services.”

The key word here is nonpartisan. But in this age of extreme partisanship, the author of this editorial, knowingly or unknowingly, could not restrain her partisanship. She writes that “we are struggling with very serious issues, including the economy, climate change, abortion, guns, etc.” Other than the economy, this is straight out of the Democrat playbook.

The message could have just as easily described serious issues as the economy, energy, immigration and public safety had the author had different political leanings. The point is, please either agree to be nonpartisan and reflect this in your messaging, or alter the language of your mission statement.
