Editors, Vineyard Gazette:

Would you give matches back to a known arsonist who had torched your neighborhood? Don’t give the matches back to the Republicans. All three Republican Presidents since 1980 increased the national debt at a larger rate than either of the two Democratic Presidents during that time. Which party would you trust to rein in the national debt? Vote for Barack Obama and Elizabeth Warren.
