letter to newspapers regarding portrayal of republicans

A lot of Americans can admit they've been confused on a myriad of issues; my parents, steadfast in their original stance on the Iraq invasion and the supposed link between the terrorists involved in the incidents on September 11th, 2001 and the Saddam regime, have of late come to grips with being mislead and wholeheartedly admit their mistake.
Many Americans remain confused in their assumptions of the inherent guidelines of the Republican party. However, media outlets can help people make informed decisions and support candidates with their best interests in mind.
The majority of Americans hear about"continued tax breaks" from a Republican and potentially thinks this applies to him or her. They aren't aware that the majority of Republican tax breaks initiatives are directed towards upper class citizens, and the majority of Republican congress members have been against closing tax break loopholes on corporations and against windfall taxes. It must be through confusion and improper media representation of the Republican party policies that middle class Americans would continue to vote for something that doesn't benefit them, like larger profits for corporate executives.
Cutting any taxes, however, is the mantra of the Republican party and falls into line with their overall theme of smaller government. Thus Republican candidates support privatized healthcare and allowing people or companies to be responsible. The government doesn't tax an individual for medical care, we pay out of pocket for insurance or directly and the prices can vary drastically. Another point that leads me to believe only through confusion and lack of information due middle class Americans continue voting for Republicans who are unwilling to explore alternatives to our current healthcare system.
Republicans have also managed to sustain their portrayal in several media outlets as one of strength, solidarity, patriotism, and sound decision-making. This is the only way I can imagine people would continue to support a decision to lift bans on off-shore drilling, because in stark contrast to something as unknown to many as windmills or solar cells, it has appeared as the most understandable way to lower gas prices and our dependence on foreign oil. It's surprising that so many middle class Americans are unable to see the correlation between Republicans and the oil industry. It's surprising so many Americans would have no issue with the record-breaking profits of companies in the past few years, all of which have their profits pegged inversely against the prosperity of so many Americans. It must be that the media is simply not reporting on it enough to allow educated opinions to form. It must be the media is not doing enough stories on the massive industry associated with renewable energies.
But there are a few other benchmarks of the Republican party that strike solid chords among many middle class Americans. Essentially Republicans align themselves with a morally conservative highground; emphasis on traditional marriage and family life, anti-abortion, more religious emphasis in school, more gun rights, more security, stricter immigration.
But where are the pundants to separate these issues properly for the average viewer, to the middle classs American? Where are the channels and newspapers explaining what issues impact people the greatest, what are the truths of tax cuts and corporate lobbying? Some of you are doing it, but not to the extent we need.
As some ending rhetoric, so many of us are unwilling to sacrifice for change, unwilling to stand up to the daily moral challenges where we can make a decision, a universal decision between right and wrong. Many of you pundants do occasionally; but are you doing it enough?
Sincerely, RJ Gordon
