By JOHN SANCHEZ
Former Lieutenant Governor
New Mexico

On a picturesque summer day in July, I stood alongside President Trump as he signed the White House Hispanic Prosperity Initiative. The Executive Order is particularly important to me. I have had the good fortune of living the American Dream and now, thanks to President Trump’s leadership, future generations will have an opportunity to accomplish whatever they set their minds to. 

Prosperity has been the bedrock of the Trump Administration and the results were clear at the start of the year and as we approach the next phase of the Great American Read More

Every artist and writer has faced it as some point in their work: blank page, a lump of clay, a white canvas that seems to stretch on forever. Nothing can be as intimidating as the moment before creation, that moment of no return when an idea demands to be brought to fruition or finally scrapped and mourned as lost potential.

Huber: Apathy Is Not An American Value

By BETSY HUBER
President
National Grange

Aug. 18 marks the 100th anniversary of the 19th amendment, which gave women the right to vote across the country and enfranchised nearly 50 percent of the U.S. population.

A century later, voting is as – if not more – important than ever before. 

For the Grange, founded more than 150 years ago, equal voice and vote for women was baked into our structure from day one.

Our founders believed that women were necessary in the longevity of our organization and “much like the farm, both men and women are needed to succeed” in all facets of life, public and private.
