Rocky Anderson may go down in local history as the mayor whose only lasting accomplishment was putting little red flags by crosswalks — that and a lot of divisiveness.

Richard G. Smurthwaite

Bountiful


As a disabled veteran, I was ashamed at the conduct of my fellow Utahns in their treatment of our president.

Kevin Foster

Clinton


I just returned from the anti-Bush and war protest at Pioneer Park. What a powerful and humbling experience to feel the tears of the mothers as they spoke of their dead sons who had unnecessarily died in a very unjust war.

Alan Cunningham

American Fork


Rocky Anderson is doing a better job of undermining the faith of people than the terrorists.

Scott Layton

Salt Lake City


Good for Rocky Anderson. He has reminded us that the donkey is the symbol of the liberal Democrats. And evidently they've been dieting on loco weed again.

Jay Barney

Unfortunately, President Bush — the man calling the shots — would view a pullout of Iraq as political flip-flopping and his ego would not allow such a change in policy.

Dennis Kostecki

Holladay


Pebbles — I mean "Rocky" — is at it again. Someone wrote "Rocky for President." It should read "Rocky for Rocky."

John Sweeney

Sandy


Mr. Mayor, please stop and think. When was the last time a raucous protest solved anything?

Jared Price

Salt Lake City


President Bush calls it spreading freedom, yet he ignores the calls of his people. He believes in eradicating the disease outside, while the body calls for help and attention.

Jonathan Darrah

Salt Lake City


The Veterans of Foreign Wars have held their conferences in Salt Lake City for the last 10 years. No more. This revenue is gone.

Paul Keil

Taylorsville


Rocky did what President Hinckley advises in his book. He stood for something.

Derrek Wright

Salt Lake City


Enough is enough. Rocky is better suited for San Francisco or Chicago.

Dean Stewart

Hyrum
