Ok, here's my draft for
Times Citizen (Iowa Falls). Any suggestions on what I could do better? I don't see a word limit for letters to the editor with the
Times Citizen, but I'm still holding my breath with 312 words.

Dear Editor:
Ronald Reagan said, “The federal government has taken too much tax money from the people, too much authority from the states, and too much liberty with the Constitution.” I agree, and that is why I support Ron Paul.
Ron Paul’s plan for a balanced budget by 2015 cuts $1 trillion in federal spending the first year by enforcing the Constitution’s strict limits on federal power. The plan to Restore America Now deeply slashes bureaucracy, reduces the President’s salary to $39,336, and passes the savings on to you with the abolition of income and death taxes. Dr. Paul’s website
www.ronpaul.2012.com gives the complete outline.
Ron Paul is consistently pro-life. He is dedicated to protecting the Right-to-Work. He believes in keeping Social Security promises to senior citizens while allowing young people to opt-out. And as Commander in Chief, Ron Paul will make securing our own borders a top priority, avoid unnecessarily long wars, bring out troops home, honor veterans and revitalize the military by eliminating waste in a trillion dollar budget. To quote Reagan, “Ron Paul is one of the outstanding leaders fighting for a stronger national defense. As a former Air Force officer, he knows well the needs of our armed forces, and he always puts them first. We need to keep him fighting for our country.”
In January 2012 Republicans need to nominate a candidate who has a plan, a candidate who won’t change his mind, a candidate who keeps his word, and a candidate who can win. Ron Paul has a plan; he has expounded it consistently throughout the years in
Liberty Defined (2011),
End the Fed (2009),
The Revolution: A Manifesto (2008), and
The Case for Gold (1982). Paul has always voted in support of the Constitution in his 12 terms in the U.S. Congress, and is time we vote for him.
