As a retired truck driver, I want to thank U.S. Reps. G.K. Butterfield, Bob Etheridge, Brad Miller, David Price and Mel Watt for helping seniors in North Carolina by voting for the House health care bill.

Regarding the Oct. 25 letter "A child's punishment," in which a mother told how her son had been made to walk laps at recess after not remembering to return his report card promptly: Although I agree that the entire recess is a bit much of a punishment, I hope parents will consider these points.
