ADN Letter: Stevens deserves our support

In politics, what comes first, “guilty until proven innocent,” or what we base our legal system on, “innocent until proven guilty”?

It saddens me to hear people in our great state talk about Sen. Ted Stevens as if he is already convicted of a crime, and that he should relinquish his congressional seat.

Sen. Stevens has done a loyal and consistent job in Washington, D.C., supporting and fighting for Alaskans on projects both big and small for nearly every community in Alaska. I believe it is time for the people of Alaska to look beyond the hype, and rally behind Sen. Stevens to show him our support for his 40-year record of public service and promoting progress in Alaska.

>Sen. Stevens has unquestionably earned my support, and I would also encourage everyone who believes that a person is innocent until proven guilty to support Sen. Ted Stevens.

— Lester Lunceford, Mayor, City of Whittier
