How can we trust this ex-cop turned profiteer? How can someone trust a profiteer like Barry Cooper to serve in Congress? Mr. Cooper is not suitable to be a representative because of his greediness. While he has the right to make a living, he does not have the right to do so by manipulating our state's laws. There should be agreements that officers must sign preventing the use of any privileged information to aid others in breaking the law. Also, Mr. Cooper's proposed reality show comparing the effects of drug and alcohol abuse is a worthless attempt to disprove something that has already been proven by medical studies. Mr. Cooper needs to be held accountable for his actions. Taylor Dilbeck, 10th grade, The Hockaday School, Dallas - --- MAP posted-by: Derek
