Letter of the day: Winners should represent everyone, get the job done

Another election, and the victors on both sides of the political spectrum are touting "the people are back in power" and "America has sent a message to Washington." Even if a candidate was elected with 60 percent of the vote, what about the other constituents? If I am in a room of 10 people and four of them disagree with me, do I just ignore them? What about the people who did not vote because they are sick and tired of the far right and far left? I am a moderate, independent voter who has cast ballots for Republicans, Democrats and independents. I am weary of radicals on all sides telling me that I am not a "true American" if I don't agree with their views. I am "people," too, and they are not representing me. Get moderate and get some work done. MARK FROST, APPLE VALLEY
