Reader feels parades are not a place for politics
December 12, 2012
Dear Editor,
It was a festive, fun Holiday Lights Parade Saturday night, but I could hardly believe my eyes when I saw a float with the elephant of the Republican Party placed in the middle – after a year of being surrounded by posters, argumentative commercials on TV and radio, to see that "politics" placed itself in a holiday parade.
Perhaps what would have been more appropriate would have been a float wishing Jewish families and friends a Happy Hanukkah, since it began the night of the parade.
