response to a letter that appeared in the Star on Aug. 26.
Facts, John Adams told a Boston jury in 1770, are stubborn things. Here are four in response to a recent letter:
- Congressman Ciscomani did not vote on the Build Back Better Act. It was passed in November 2021. The congressman took office in January 2023.
- The congressman did not vote on the border bill. It never came before the House.
- The funds the congressman is bringing back to Southeastern Arizona for local projects are not part of Build Back Better. They are allocated through the annual appropriations bills and are known as Community Project Funding.
- The amount the congressman has either secured or preliminarily secured for district projectsis $60 million, not $34 million.

Mr. Dieters has, of course, a right to his own opinions. John Adams and his fellow Founding Fathers made sure of that. But even the most stubborn partisans among us would probably agree that no one has a right to be wrong in their facts.
