To the Editor: I’m writing in defense of Robin Hensel, although the truth is I’m a little scared – backing her up isn’t going to make me popular – but I’m on Robin’s side because, according to the information I have, I find the point she’s trying to make to be sound and reasonable. The  Read more »

To the Editor: Listen, my children, and you shall hear of the midnight votes of Mike LeMieur. Makes it easy to push off the blame, cast at night to avoid the shame. It was 2011, and on the House floor, in special session since half past four; Republican LeMieur searched for funds high and low;  Read more »

To the Editor: This fall we have an election coming up. When you vote, remember who has signs up and whom they support. Then decide who you want to run our country: old DFL Party, Republican Party, far-left Liberal Socialist Party, Tea Party, Communist Party or Green Party. It’s nine months to election, but its  Read more »

To the Editor: I read in the Jan. 15 issue of the Record that the DFL wants to stop “politics as usual.” The Democrats controlled the House, Senate and the presidency in 2009-2010. They could have and did everything they wanted to do. They never passed a single budget, borrowed and spent enough to reduce  Read more »

To the Editor: It’s clear social media Web sites like Facebook have become integral in the lives of multimillions and that Internet/social media technologies will only continue to explode. Therefore, it’s vital people grasp how their detailed personal information is becoming evermore rapidly collected by these uncountable other Internet entities and potentially governments. Facebook now  Read more »

To the Editor: A Feb. 5 St. Cloud Times article showed Minnesota property taxes increased $300 million in 2012. That article said: “The majority of taxing districts raised the burden on property owners. That’s because the state has stopped reimbursing local governments for credits received under the market value homestead credit.” Locally, however, we have  Read more »

To the Editor: I just read your front page  (Jan. 29) article on a Little Falls resident complaining about the “We Support Our Troops” sign.  Is that the one who had that abhorrent sign display on one of our main streets on the south side?  The display that was justifiably taken down? Don’t you think  Read more »

To the Editor: When Minnesota Republican leaders were asked on TV about the demotions of Sen. Amy Koch and Rep. Steve Smith because of their improper relationships with staff members, the Republican leaders said, “We’re putting that behind us now.” That’s the identical response they gave earlier when their state chair resigned after leaving the  Read more »

To the Editor: Our guy in the White House gave his talk the other day, and he stated in his speech, “Where everyone gets a fair shot, everyone does their fair share, and everyone plays by the same set of rules.” The “same set of rules” seems to be a theme that some people missed  Read more »

To the Editor: Anyone who insults the U.S. president by calling him a Marxist or his vice president a moron is also saying that those who elected them are Marxists and morons, too. They are lucky to live in the U.S. where, unfortunately such comments are allowed without punishment. Those who are easily led, gullible,  Read more »

To the Editor: The time and place is set for the people’s meeting. The place we will be meeting is at the Royal Café in Little Falls. The time is 6 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 1. The special that night is a ham steak dinner, please come early and have dinner. This meeting will be on  Read more »

To the Editor: In 2011, a Rochester clinic started performing abortions via Webcams. The physician isn’t in the room when the abortion is performed. Instead, the abortionist is at the St. Paul Planned Parenthood Abortion Center. This abortion is performed using the RU486 abortion drug. RU486 consists of two drugs. The first drug, mifepristone, kills  Read more »

To the Editor: Recently I attended a legislative update with Rep. Mike LeMieur and Sen. Paul Gazelka at the City Hall in Little Falls. It was sponsored by the Chamber of Commerce. Our legislators gave reports on the upcoming session and listened to a number of concerns from members of the audience. It was a  Read more »

To the Editor: At the Legislative update last week, Republican Mike LeMieur used his opening remarks to tell us he’ll be concentrating on banning all abortions in Minnesota. Maybe he’s trying to redeem himself with pro-life people for his vote that restored funding to human cloning research. There are many people who feel strongly on  Read more »

To the Editor: Thank you Mike LeMieur and Chip Cravaack for being far better representatives than your predecessors. Thank you for being pro-life, pro-constitution and pro-American. A good indicator of how well you are doing is the letters (and poem) in the Record  from the DFLers, using the old socialist, communist phrase, “Big Business” and  Read more »
