“Loss of Freedom”

Dear Editor,
Congress first passed a federal health care bill in 1854, to benefit the indigent insane; it was vetoed by President Pierce because he didn’t believe the government should concern itself with social welfare. From Teddy Roosevelt in 1912; during the depression along with...

Dear Fellow Patriots,
We might remember a small portion of the President’s State of the Union address in which the media’s camera caught Justice Sam Alito making lip movements to the tune of “that’s not true” when Obama criticized the Supreme Court’s decision to overturn the ban on pre-...

Dear Fellow Patriots,

English Grammer

Dear Fellow Critic,

Reader opposes serving of alcohol

From reading the alcohol issue, I believe that we do not need alcohol at all.
