Letter To The Editor: Why I Voted For Trump
By LISA SHINAt the Republican National Convention July 21, 2016, I told millions of Americans that Donald Trump was the only presidential candidate who would preserve the American Dream. I declared that he would ensure a more prosperous, safe and secure future for our children and our grandchildren.
Since that once-in-a-lifetime, never-happen-again moment, I have made new friends as well as new enemies. I had no idea what a “gif” was until I saw one of myself, mocked and ridiculed on Twitter. I received my first hate mail, addressed to my office, replete with profanities and racial Read More

Letter To The Editor: Dispelling Misinformed Arguments For Keeping Office Of The Sheriff
By KRISTIN HENDERSON
Los Alamos County Councilor
There are a couple arguments going around in support of maintaining the elected Office of Sheriff that I would like to address. I am in favor of a FOR vote to eliminate it.
The first is that the Sheriff is your last stand against corruption. The fact is, the Sheriff here has NO authority to investigate corruption, or any crime. The concept of needing the office to protect you is both illegal and a complete red herring.
Corruption can be investigated by the State Attorney General, the State Police, the FBI – there are any number of other entities, Read More
Letter To The Editor: My Endorsement Goes To Rep. Stephanie Garcia Richard
By DAVID IZRAELEVITZA recent mailing by the Sharon Stover campaign highlights portions of a 2011 Monitor article where I am quoted complimenting her on her leadership abilities.

Every word that was quoted of me is accurate and heartfelt. Moreover, she displayed the political courage to cross party lines and vote to appoint me to Council.

Letter To The Editor: Your Vote Counts
By JODY BENSONAs we registered voters at the Farmer’s Market and LAHS, I was not shocked exactly, but more, disappointed that too many people stated that they never vote because (1) they hate the candidates, (2) they don’t know the candidates or the issues, or (3) it doesn’t matter. They did not register. Now they don’t have the option.
The first opinion is personal, and therefore inarguable. But (2) and (3) are destructively untrue.
First, if you’re not voting because you don’t know the candidates or the issues, you can learn. We all have values that we want actualized, and Read More

I am not nor have I ever been a member of this organization. Anyone can place your name online and say what they want to further their cause. I do profess my allegiance Read More
