Today's Opinions

Here we are again on the verge of another election. Four years ago this country was on the edge of total economic collapse. I can honestly say that my family is in better shape now than in 2008.
I want the people in our community to really think hard about their vote in November. Do NOT vote against your best interests.
The Republicans will do away with many needed programs that our community depends upon — like [reducing] food stamps, money for our schools and pre-school children and turning Social Security into something nobody recognizes.

All that is in the news today is about rioting, killing and taking over of countries by Muslims.
The bad part about this is, most of it is backed by American tax dollars while those same countries are taking the United States for all it is worth.
For example, our troops are being killed in Afghanistan by so-called allies. When an Afghan is killed, Obama sends millions of dollars to their families. Have they ever sent money to the families here who have lost a loved one? Not one dime.

The phone blitz bought by the Koch brothers, Karl Rove, and other SuperPacs is intensifying in these last weeks before the election.
The Supreme Court made corporations “persons” and unleashed this. Remember when your phone rings it will be a bought and paid-for person or computer haranguing you.
I will be supporting President Obama for a variety of reasons.
First is healthcare. As a father with two sons, I am pleased that they can be insured to age 26 through my insurance, including dental care. I felt good to have their backs a little longer.
