Very interesting letter. I could follow his reasoning all the way down it until he got to the part about not voting or voting a write in.
If a person feels that strongly about issues of the candidates and those candidates haven't made them clear to him, he should go the extra mile and find out for himself, that's why candidates have offices.
As citizens, the most important voice we have is our vote and should not be with held or squandered on a write in candidate, IMO. Life is a series of choices and we try to make the best choices, no candidate can satisfy a persons every whim.

Congressman John Murtha continues to show his true colors, and they are not the red, white and blue of the flag our brave servicemen and women are defending around the globe.
Murtha recently voted against the Security Fence Act of 2006, which approved building 700 miles of double-layered fencing along the 2,000 mile U.S.-Mexican border.
Murtha is obviously promoting his anti-administration position in search of a coveted leadership position over the well-being of the nation and its citizens that he swore to serve and protect.
Concerning the Washington County commissioners' pay, Diana Irey has made two motions to reconsider the action and freeze all county elected official's pay increases. Both died for a lack of a second.
