BAILOUTS: Not OK per Constitution
Article 1, Section 9 of the U.S. Constitution states: “No money shall be withdrawn from the treasury, but in consequence of appropriations made by law.” By law means that taxpayer funds deposited in the U.S. Treasu…

RADICALS: Those who dictate rights
OK, I admit to reading neither the column by Dr. StormoGipson or by Stephanie Murphy, but who needs to? The response letters March 21 make it pretty easy to figure out.
SCHOOLS: Parents, need your help
North Idaho is a special place and her peoples are special! We say this is a great place, because we have traveled and worked in different places on this Earth; but North Idaho is our home.
SCHOOLS: Effort isn't exploitation

In Noelle Branen’s response to my March 14 letter she states that no children are forced to raise money for the schools. I must say that she is mostly correct. However, when the entire school is using class time to…
OBAMA: Trying to steal election
Judicial Watch is investigating the extent to which Project Vote, an ACORN organization which once employed Obama, has been working with the Obama administration to use state voter registration laws to register the…
BILL: Insulting and violating
I was shocked when I read the front page of the Coeur d’Alene Press, March 16, to learn the Idaho Senate passed a bill requiring women to have an ultrasound before having an abortion. I am appalled at certain group…

I attended the town hall meeting at the Hayden City Hall on March 17 and was completely amazed at the questions to our representatives and senator. There were questions of animal torture, abortion, drug testing wel…
