Letter to the editor: Put Pomeroy out of office for spending too much money
The past two years of mind-boggling spending by a Democrat Congress and president has brought the nation to a record $13.25 trillion debt — a rise of more than $4 trillion in about two years — and the spending continues. They cannot stop themselves.
Letter to the editor: State Department wasting money on foreign sites
If you read Nat Hentoff’s article you learned Imam Feisal Abdul Rauf is on a State Department tour (financed by us) of Arab nations in the Middle East to tap Muslim nations for help to build the mosque near ground zero.
Letter to the editor: Columnist makes rash statements on voters’ views
This is regarding Clarence Page’s column “How To Spread Dumb-ocracy” published Aug. 24 in The Jamestown Sun. Page goes to some length to call attention to the fact that an increasing number of Americans now believe that the president is not a Christian, but is, in fact, a Muslim. Allow me a few observations:
N.D. needs graduated licenses for teens
North Dakota slipped out of the top 10 best states for children’s well-being for the first time since 2002, according to the 2010 Kids Count report by the Annie E. Casey Foundation. The state can do better.
RELATED CONTENTLetter to the editor: Ending tax cuts will put U.S. deeper into recession
Democrats including Sen. Kent Conrad and Rep. Earl Pomeroy voted against the Bush tax cuts. They claimed they were bad for our economy. They blamed our current economic mess on them. While campaigning for President Barack Obama and the Democrats, the mainstream media echoed these lies.
Letter to the editor: Slash America’s federal government by 90 percent
In his year and a half as president, President Barack Obama has pushed through the following disastrous policies: stimulus act, Obamacare, financial reform, reaching out to Muslims, amnesty for illegal aliens, bailout of General Motors, Cash-for-Clunkers, green jobs, close down Gitmo, regulating carbon dioxide and a Gulf Oil drilling moratorium. The federal government is spending trillions of dollars in excess of receipts and a huge tax increase threatens.
It’s good to be a college town
One of the proud definitions of Fargo-Moorhead is “college town.” Metro campuses and day schools are beginning the new academic year in August and September, with thousands of students descending on campuses and classrooms. The influx of young people (and older-than-average students) reinvigorates the cities with their energy and participation.
Letter to the editor; Pomeroy is distorting Berg’s record on issues
It didn’t take long for U.S. Rep. Earl Pomeroy to go negative. In his latest TV ad campaign, he distorts North Dakota Rep. Rick Berg’s record and suggests that after 26 years as a citizen and part-time legislator, Berg is wrong for North Dakota.
University System can move from doubt to support
Rep. Mark Dosch’s skepticism about a higher education budget item was clear. “If we’re going to spend $10 million, what’s our return on this?” asked the Republican from Bismarck. How many students would benefit? How would North Dakota taxpayers come out ahead?
Letter to the editor: Development is occurring too fast for North Dakota
Are there others out there who are as concerned as I am about what is happening to our great state of North Dakota in regardsto the current level of oil and natural gas development? Please understand that I am not an anti-oil drilling advocate.
Aftermath of tornado shows community kindness
A recent tornado near Bowbells was a deadly reminder of the power of Mother Nature. The storm ripped through the Dennis Bauer farm, wrecking everything in sight, including Bauer’s home, a number of buildings, vehicles, farm equipment and anything else in its path. Bauer survived by finding a safe place in the basement of his home, which was severely damaged by the storm. One man was killed and another man injured when the vehicle they were riding in was destroyed by the tornado.
Letter to the editor: Pomeroy is the clear choice for North Dakotans
If there’s one thing North Dakotans do well it’s smelling a line of bull when we are fed one. Well that’s just what the recent letters to the editor attacking Earl Pomeroy have been, bull. Despite partisan hacks like James Kerian’s best attempts to convince North Dakotans otherwise, Pomeroy’s doing a good job and he’ll be getting my vote.
Letter to the editor: Berg’s voting record shows where he stands on issues
Rick Berg has a voting record. Why doesn’t he want us to remember it? Many of us were around back when the North Dakota Legislature tried to undermine our privacy laws by letting banks sell their customers’ personal information without getting permission first.
