Re-elect Rep. Zach Wamp

  Our congressman, Rep. Zach Wamp, represents us well with his sound, conservative, energetic, constructive leadership. He serves our local community, the Third Congressional District, Tennessee and the whole nation. So he deserves an overwhelming vote of thanks in the Aug. 3 Republican primary election and re-election to Congress in the Nov. 7 general election.

   Rep. Wamp made a noteworthy hour-long speech in the House of Representatives last week, saying important truths that nearly every fair-minded and knowledgeable person knows, but too few are willing to say.

  Rep. Wamp correctly declared that "the U.N. is not worthy of the financial and diplomatic support the U.S. gives it, that it fails to stand against international terrorism and genocide, that it is guilty of gross corruption, that it is not only not helping win international peace and security (but) sometimes...the United Nations is in the way," with its resolutions being "meaningless," and having "no credibililty."

  Able, commendable Rep. Wamp's comments hit the ineffectual U.N. nail on its head.
