EDITOR: I love the letter Daniel Granquist wrote Sept. 30 on our president. Finally, someone gets what a great president we have in Donald Trump. No president has done so much for our country in such a short time, all the while being constantly harassed. Thank you, Daniel Granquist, for a well-written article and thank you, The Daily News, for printing his letter. Well done. Donna Schinderle Iron Mountain
EDITOR: We are one month away from the election and this brings a couple things to mind. “The only thing necessary for the triumph of evil is for good people to do nothing.” — this idea has been cited by many back as far as the 1860s. Don’t be passive. Speak your mind. Engage with your neighbors and fellow Americans in a civil way. “The forgotten citizens — they work, they vote, they generally pray, but they always pay.” Don’t let partisan politics waste our tax dollars, our greatness as a nation, nor our rule of law as a republic. Remember, our elected officials ...
EDITOR: Right now, we are living in scary times. We have a once-in-a-100-years epidemic. Instead of cases going down, they are on the rise yet again. We have hit a grim milestone of more than 200,000 dying of this illness. Whether you think it is a hoax or if it is real, we as a country need to find a way to stop it. This means we must work together. What is not helping is President Trump talking about invalidating all the mail-in votes. Do you want your vote to count? Whether you are Republican, Democrat or Independent, your vote should be counted. This won’t just affect the ...
EDITOR: A letter to my president — Dear President Trump, My wife, Diane, and I want you to know how much we appreciate your dedication to our fundamental Christian values. We pray for you daily that God will continue to strengthen you and your family in the upcoming days. Our hats are off to you on how you lowered taxes while unemployment was reduced to 3.7%, the lowest in history. Thank you for supporting our police, for fighting for the unborn to live and not die, for protecting our borders from criminals and drug dealers, for fighting for the American worker by keeping jobs ...
What if there was a place in Dickinson and Iron counties where people could get health care benefits assistance at no cost? Fortunately, there is — the Medical Care Access Coalition has been providing these services since 2004 in both counties. Specific services include helping people choose the best possible Medicare drug plan, applying for Medicaid, prescription assistance and information and referral. MCAC serves more than 1,300 citizens annually in the two counties. The prescription assistance program saved residents more than $1.1 million in 2019. Unfortunately, these services ...
Regardless of which political side one is on, there is always room for civil debate before an election. When an elected official refuses to debate his political opponent, it shows a lack of respect for our Democratic process and those he represents. Public debate between a state Representative and his challenger is an important aspect of our political system. When an elected official refuses to debate, he displays a lack of respect for the people he serves. Therefore, I respectfully request that state Rep. Beau LaFave schedule a public debate with his Democratic challenger, Dr. ...
