Ministers who are critical of President Obama because of his stand on gay rights and marriage are so hypocritical. Lest we forget, America has overcome too many conflicts and struggles to achieve the constitutional right to cast our vote to be discouraged by anyone.

For a local minister to even suggest to "go fishing" on election day is a disgrace to all the people who died for our right to vote.

How would he feel if his entire congregation goes fishing on Sunday in their support of the re-election of President Obama?

Please exercise your right to vote. Mail your ballot in or early vote if you want to avoid the lines, but vote.

-- William C. "Bill" Johnson, Fort Worth
