Letter to the Editor:

Most Americans believe that being a decent and hardworking employee will provide a certain degree of job security, but that is a common misconception for those who live in a Right to Work state with an At Will Employment rule. As of now, you can be terminated without just cause despite your tenure or work ethic. Being employed in a Right to Work state shouldn't mean, as a worker, you have no rights. 

When You See Something, Say Something™

Poverty should never be the goal of a government tax structure yet our income tax is designed to keep working people poor. Hidden corporate taxes raise the wholesale cost of goods and services while the 7.65 percent payroll tax ensures less take-home pay for buying goods and services. The FairTax HR25 restores economic prosperity while ending the income tax.

Winter Weather is Tough on Vehicle Engines

Letter to the Editor

February 2013

Dear Editor,

The dark days of winter can have a destructive impact on a vehicle’s engine. Sub-zero temperatures, hard starts and improper fluid levels or usage can shorten the life of a vehicle by damaging its engine. Many vehicle owners may think their only option is to purchase a new vehicle when they experience severe engine trouble, but not to worry.  Rebuilding that engine can give your vehicle new life.

Dear Sir or Madam,

In 1938, Hitler announced a new gun law that would force people to register their firearms. Only months later, the registered guns were confiscated and a few months after that, the Jews were in the railroad cars on their way to the concentration camps.

Dear Editor:

All federal legislation dealing with taxation MUST ORIGINATE within the House Ways and Means committee.  The chairman of that committee, Mr. Dave Camp, has said “There will be significant changes in the tax code in 2013 …” This is very important to all Americans.  All citizens have an opportunity to influence that legislation for the better IF they are well informed on the subject and properly motivated!

Easy Italian Pasta Salad or Dinner

-1 bag of your favorite noodles (I like the tri-color noodles because they’re pretty)

-1 bottle of Italian Dressing or make up your own- I use Good Season’s packet and follow the directions.   (I like to add some spices like a little extra pepper, garlic salt, etc.

-Fresh diced vegetables- I like some or all of the following: tomatoes, olives, cucumbers, broccoli, sweet peppers, red onions, etc.)

It’s pathetic, really, how often we try to do a job with the wrong tool. We  end up wasting our time and doing a poor job just because we wouldn’t start with what was needed.  Case in point: sadly, I can’t count the number of times I have tried to hammer a nail into something (or just re-hammer a nail that was poking out a bit too far) with a rock, a shoe, or whatever is lying around.  And how about those times I’ve tried to substitute a butter knife, or even my fingernail for a straight-edge screwdriver?  Disgraceful, I know.

The urgent need for order to replace turmoil was most evident to those delegates of the thirteen states who assembled to establish a government that could fulfill the purpose of the Declaration of Independence.  The delegates knew that agreements to form a government with sufficient power to control crime could only be obtained if the delegates were in an environment where there would not be posturing for public clamor. They agreed to conduct the discussions behind closed doors.
