GUNS: Stats don't tell entire story
Alecia Warren’s story in the Coeur d’Alene Press March 17 took up most of page 1 through 3. It appeared to support extensive gun control in the State of Idaho. It also appeared the research referred to was incomple…
PURITY: Don't let state legislate it
We recently moved to Idaho and a lot of locals have told us people in Idaho have more freedoms (compared to people in Washington). A lot of letters to the editor are concerned with the freedom to own and carry guns…
GUNS: Stop the socialist arguments
I am rather dismayed that the Cd’A Press chose to print the socialist propaganda by Alecia Warren as front page news Sunday, March 17. It is the same old socialist misinformation, lies, half truths, and manipulatio…

Dear Mr. Malek and Mr. Morse,
PACHYDERM: Term is inflammatory

DOCTORS: Another one hits the trail
Dr. Brian Samuels of the Post Falls Cancer Center will be gone today. And he is not the first. Why have FIVE doctors at the cancer center recently “not had their contracts renewed”? Why are we led to believe their …
