Mr. Niblock
Recently a relative forwarded an e-mail written by an attorney, Dennis L. Guthrie, that according to his website, http://www.gdhs.com represents Lowe's Companies, Inc. & Lowe's Home Center's Inc.
In that letter, shown here: www.snopes.com/politics/soapbox/guthrie.asp, he castigates Speaker of the House, Nancy Pelosi.
I have no particular problem with Mr. Guthrie voicing his personal opinion of Ms. Pelosi. That is what makes this country great. I am troubled by his promulgating half-truths and lies, to make his point. It took me less than three minutes to learn Mr. Guthrie’s two major points were explained and those accusations found to be false well before he sent his letter. Here are Internet addresses that will bring you to that research.
As it has been said, you are entitled to your own opinion; you are not entitled to your own truth.
I have no muscle with Mr. Guthrie, but I might with you. If you partner with people that send out less than truthful letters, you must understand you run the risk of being painted with the same brush. I don’t think it fair to stop doing business with you because of what a third party said or did, and it will bring me personal pain not to deal with Lowe's Companies, Inc. & Lowe's Home Center's Inc again. However, in my opinion, we as Americans must not support those that lie and spread untruths, even if that guilt is simply by association.
As Mr. Guthrie promised, I too will share this message with many.
Sincerely,
George A. Edwards
