Editor:

Even though Gov. Tom Wolf succeeded in closing only one prison, many issues were not, at least publicly, addressed.It is a sad state of affairs in Pennsylvania that a community's employment depends upon the misfortune of others; that closing a prison would put the whole community out of work, as well.That closing one overcrowded prison will increase the overcrowding of the others, increasing their operating costs.Which will lead to the government outcry of the need to build more prisons.Meanwhile, there is the outcry over the current opiate/drug epidemic. I'm glad to hear of the different community groups' "awareness" gatherings. It has to be up to them, not the government, because that's where the drug epidemic started.We all know that the government, in reacting to the desire of society (like legalizing marijuana), never fixes the problem, nor even considers the consequences of their new laws, the consequences being more law, damage and costs to society.If you'd like to see the extent of the communist (liberal) infiltration in our institutions, read Trevor Loudon's book, or watch his DVD, "The Enemies Within." You would be surprised!What is the solution? We are on the right track, having elected Donald Trump as President. Hillary Clinton would have continued the destruction of our nation. We must return to the literal (not liberal) interpretation of our Constitution. Existing laws protecting our nation must be enforced. The previous administration's executive orders must be rescinded. The truth about separation of church and state, not the liberal lie, must be taught. Revisionist history and "political correctness" eliminated. Illegal aliens must be deported. Our military must be brought back up to effective strength. Remove "common core" from schools and bring back the ABCs. And restore the unborn's right to life.Our nation's return to greatness and world leadership will commence once we bring the Bible, Christ and prayer back into our church, schools and families. Then the need for prisons will greatly diminish.Sincerely,Scotty MorrisonLehighton
