Dear Editor: I am reminded of Frank Capra's 1939 classic movie "Mr. Smith Goes to Washington" in which the nave, idealistic, backwoods kid Jefferson Smith, played by James Stewart, thwarts the corrupt political establishment and, in spite of incumbents attempts to discredit him, manages to triumph and bring honesty back to government. This is precisely what we have facing us in this coming election, only the consequences are far more severe. What is at stake is the most sacred document of western civilization, the Constitution of the United States of America.
