If our wonderful politicians in Washington, D.C., get even one step inside the health care with a government option, we might as well get ready to hand over all that our founding fathers fought for so very long ago. I am quite sure James Madison and Benjamin Franklin are already disappoin…

It was disheartening to hear that 82 percent of the citizens of Provo didn't vote in our last election. Voting is such a privilege. It should also be a responsibility. When I read the comment that "I didn't vote because I didn't feel like I knew what was going on in the elections," I was …

Considering the ramifications of the motive for the Fort Hood shootings, it becomes even more apparent we need to get our troops totally out of the Middle East and Afghanistan/Pakistan (and most other places around the globe), bring them home to America, and prepare to defend our own coun…
