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.By Hal Neff , September 02, 2010
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:By John Gallagher , September 02, 2010
Letter 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.By Brent McCarthy , September 01, 2010
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.By Allan Hegland , September 01, 2010
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.By Marissa Clarin , August 31, 2010
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.By Janell Hermann , August 30, 2010
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.By Jacob Geiermann , August 28, 2010
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.By Rick Olek , August 28, 2010
Letter to the editor: Young man helped find a residence
Jamestown, you have some really nice young people.By Roy Nill , August 28, 2010
Letter to the editor: Berg’s letter misses the reality of nation’s troubles
I received a letter from Rep. Rick Berg, R-Fargo, in an effort to scare up some campaign money for his run against Rep. Earl Pomeroy, D-N.D. There was nothing in it to let me know what he was going to do to help us recover from the economic disaster that his party created.By Dean P. Remboldt , August 27, 2010
Letter to the editor: Potter understands what's best for N.D.
Democratic candidate for U.S. Senate Tracy Potter is a friend of mine, so if this letter seems a little biased toward him, you will understand. I’ve known Potter since he was a very young man and have been proud of the career that he has made in public service and of his work leading the Fort Abraham Lincoln Foundation.By Grace M. Link , August 26, 2010
Letter to the editor: Women’s suffrage is a cause worthy of celebration
Today marks the 90th anniversary of women’s right to vote. We hope women across North Dakota do something to mark the day. We plan to commemorate the anniversary with the North Dakota Women’s Network’s Awareness Walk at 10 a.m. Saturday in Bismarck on the Burleigh County Courthouse’s south steps.By Linda Johnson Wurtz Renee Stromme , August 26, 2010
Letter to the editor: Potter would do more for N.D.
Every time I hear or see one of Gov. John Hoeven’s commercials, I wonder what jobs for which he is taking credit. Is it the ones created in the Red River Valley Resource Corridor in Fargo? Those were the work of our congressional delegation, mainly Sen. Byron Dorgan, D-N.D.By Rep. Audrey Cleary , August 25, 2010
Letter to the editor: Crabtree shows better attitude about wind power
Last week, Brad Crabtree, candidate for Public Service Commission, released another policy and position paper, this time on wind power. I applaud candidates who clearly write on issues pertaining to the office they seek.By Joe Richardson , August 25, 2010
Letter to the editor: Democrats are being irresponsible with our money
Democrats took their fiscal irresponsibility to a new level last week. Mind you, these are the same people who decided to skip passing a budget for the first time in 34 years and passed trillions of dollars in new spending the last couple years.By James Kallod , August 23, 2010
