Letter: Glass-Steagall reinstatement a must for economic prosperity
Updated: May 21, 2012 - 8:30 am

I asked this question of Josh Romney (Mitt Romney’s son) when he spoke at our tea party meeting last year. He promised to send me an answer but I have not received one. I have asked this question of the Romney Campaign headquarters and the Arizona Republican Party headquarters. None of them will even dignify my request with an answer. So I am asking the public. Maybe someone will know the answer. What is candidate Romney’s position on restoring the Glass-Steagall Act?

Letter: Future Eagle Scout: All for waterboarding, if it saves lives
Updated: May 21, 2012 - 8:30 am

I am a 15-year-old working on my Eagle Scout Award. One of the requirements is that I write a letter to the editor of a newspaper and express my opinion on a subject of my choice. After reading all of the vents and letters in your newspaper on waterboarding, I chose that as my subject of choice. Now, I agree with all the posts that waterboarding is inhumane. However, it is significantly better than what our “friends” in the Middle East do to all of our brave men and women in arms. So, while it may not be humane, if the information we are getting saves lives then I am all for it!

Letter: ‘Casino Banking’ is an epidemic
Posted: May 17, 2012

For hundreds of years the banks have made a profit by loaning money. Where does the money come from? They are allowed to “leverage” their assets and create money out of thin air with the touch of a keyboard.

Posted: May 15, 2012

The U.S. Supreme Court is now in the midst of deciding the constitutionality of Arizona’s strict immigration law. President Obama has spent a lot of time and money challenging this law, but he should consider that this law would not exist if it wasn’t for his own actions.
