Thank you Senator Hinkle.  Thank you for taking the time to come to every public gathering you are able to attend just for the opportunity to speak to the many citizens in the District you represent.

Thank you for your insightful articles in the paper.  Your articles are always full of substance and really give the reader an idea of the issues plaguing our counties, state and the country.  Thank you for acknowledging that the reader has a basic IQ, and isn’t looking for an update on your social calendar in Helena.

Thank you for standing up for what is right, knowing that doing so will make you the target of ridicule from nefarious individuals who put their own motives before all else.  You do not claim to be righteous while hiding behind the cloak of evil.  In short, you are no hypocrite.

Thank you for being as disgusted as the rest of us at candidates who campaign on lies and thank you for recognizing that when someone writes a letter to the editor, sends a letter to a candidate or places an ad to bring attention to the lie that it is not  negative campaigning, it is doing what is right.  Lying to voters to deceive them into voting for you is what is not right.

Thank you Senator Hinkle, for continuing to be the man of integrity we elected.  We can only hope that the example you set will be an inspiration to others.
