Snail Mail: Send A Little Love

DIY Fabric Animal Decor
Our second bathroom is the kid's bathroom. When I first moved in to our house, the room had been painted a teal and dark pink color to match the fish-designed shower curtain. Personally, the color com...

The Advent Grinch
Yesterday was Christmas! It was a great day for the family, a great day of travel, and a great Christmas service at church. The sermon was fantastic - it always is in my eyes (my huz is the pastor, bu...

Letters from the past
When I realized last Friday it was the 25th anniversary of the day the Challenger blew up, it made me think of a letter I once received. Back when my husband Eric was in the U.S. Navy, he sent me ple...

Strange, Almost Sensical Spam
Some very weird spam is showing up in my inbox lately. One presents itself as being from a bank, but if a bank secretary was really that bad at proofreading, he would surely be taken out and shot fort...

Letter to the editor: Senators’ votes on gun law were disappointing
I am very disappointed with the votes Sen. John Hoeven, R-N.D, and Sen. Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D., made on the background check amendment.By Susan Beehler, Mandan, N.D. , April 22, 2013
Letter to the editor: Hoeven and Heitkamp did well with votes for gun rights
The U.S. Senate recently rejected universal gun background checks, thanks partly to Sens. John Hoeven, R-N.D., and Heidi Heitkamp, D-N.D. However, President Barack Obama and Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, D-N.D., will continue attacking the Second Amendment.By By Duane Stahl, Valley City, N.D. , April 20, 2013
Letter to the editor: Heitkamp’s vote on bill a slap in the face to her donors
For seven years, beginning in 1967, I attended the Crippled Children’s School, now known as the Anne Carlsen Center. I still have my eighth-grade diploma from there. I have since gone on to high school and college and am a writer and blogger.By By Kent Anderson, Sterling Heights, Mich. , April 19, 2013
Letter to the editor: Lawmakers made abortion decisions based on fear
Attorney General Wayne Stenehjem rightly expressed great concern that the Legislature should provide an appropriation to defend anti-abortion legislation that will unquestionably be challenged in the courts.By By Dina Butcher, Bismarck , April 18, 2013
Letter to the editor: Anti-abortion leaders should lead by example with funds
Creative minds in the North Dakota Attorney General’s Office shouldn’t have a problem coming up with funds for litigation of anti-reproductive justice legislation. Liberty Counsel has already offered legal help to defend the laws.By By Ron Saeger, Fargo , April 17, 2013
Letter to the editor: Supporters of gay marriage have not won this fight
TIME magazine’s front cover declares gay marriage already won. It continues with, the Supreme Court hasn’t made up its mind but America has. David Von Drehle goes on to conclude that America has accepted marriage between same-sex couples.By By Cindy Hinz, Jamestown , April 16, 2013
Letter to the editor: Jamestown College play was ‘delightful’
The Jamestown College production of “The Imaginary Invalid” was a delightful play, if only I could have fast-forwarded through the commercials.By Georgia Miller, Jamestown , April 15, 2013
Letter to the editor: Whatever happened to anti-war leaders?
Something is wrong in America. The last president to go the extra mile for peace was President George H.W. Bush (the elder) preceding the Gulf War back around 1990. He got about 95 percent of the world’s support and much military help from other countries, including Arab countries, before expelling Saddam Hussein out of Kuwait after he had more or less tried to annex Kuwait.By By Mike Shockman, LaMoure, N.D. , April 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: Letter criticizing GOP, laws to limit abortion is wrong
Once again Brad Mills has written a letter to the editor (April 4) blasting the Republicans in the North Dakota Legislature. As he has done in the past, his letter is filled with misinformation, inaccuracies and, unfortunately, a willingness to launch a somewhat vicious partisan attack.By By Tom J. Tracy, Jamestown , April 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: Morals are going to pot and must be restored in America
Morals? This is my opinion, others have theirs. Morals in this country, pardon the pun, are going to pot! Recent history has produced a lot of issues. Among them; abortion, illegal drugs, gay rights, and now a pill that will encourage unprotected sex among young people. Who pays for this lack of morality? The government, we the people, society or all of the above? Some is paid by various government agencies, others by private insurance companies.By By Larry Pecka Sr., Jamestown , April 12, 2013
Letter to the editor: It’s time to bring our service members home from wars
We were taken into two wars on lies. It’s a shame that former President George W. Bush and former Vice President Dick Cheney made sure the information they received from Secret Service and the Intelligence Department was changed to take us into war. The department could not believe the information they received should have been used to take us into two wars.By By Caroline Eli, Carrington, N.D. , April 09, 2013
Letter to the editor: Fargo diversion project is not the best option against floods
I am compelled to tell my fellow North Dakotans about the grand scheme that Fargo is trying to sell to the Legislature. If sold, North Dakota taxpayers will be on the hook for at least $562 million of the full amount of the scheme, $2 billion.By Todd Toppen, Horace, N.D. , April 08, 2013
Letter to the editor: All Iraq war did was kill Iraqi people and waste money
Long after President George H. W. Bush’s march into Iraq to prevent Saddam Hussein from taking over oil-rich Kuwait and baby Bush’s seeking revenge for his daddy’s unfinished work by finishing off bad ol’ Saddam, I was wondering what our peace-loving action has produced, which is not much according to Iraqi-American writer and activist Jonathon Azaziah.By Cory Christofferson, Hamar, N.D. , April 08, 2013
Letter to the editor: Article on Heitkamp’s stance was too much opinion
Shame on The Jamestown Sun for publishing an opinion piece as a feature story at the top of the front page on Saturday (“Gay marriage: Heitkamp steps out in favor of same-sex marriage”).By Greg Boles, Jamestown , April 08, 2013
Letter to the editor: Court used bail money to pay fines, then rewarded criminal
On Jan. 12, I provided bail to release a person from the Stutsman County Correctional Center who could not make bail herself.By By John A. Connell, Jamestown , April 08, 2013
