Article answers recycling questions
Dear Editor:
Thank you for the article in last week's DCI about North Fork recycling.
Shortly after the North Fork recycling started, I several times tried to get information about what was and was not accepted for recycling at the North Fork center.
Emotion, haste and law
Dear Editor:
Emotion, haste, and law (legislation) join to produce a poisonous brew. When innocent children are brutally murdered, we have every right to be outraged.
A wolf in sheep’s clothing
Dear Editor:
The latest bill under consideration in the democratically controlled Colorado legislation will increase the mandate for renewable energy (wind or solar power for example) for rural co-ops. This is Senate Bill 252 and, if passed, will double the requirement of renewables.
The full measure of a man
Dear Editor:
Thank you for printing the letter written by Dusty and Dani Carson of Delta about Kent Calhoun. I share their thankfulness that the Montrose deputy survived the incident.
Proposed gravel pit raises many questions
Dear Editor:
I am a Delta County resident out on 25 Mesa Road west of Delta. I was just wondering if anybody else has heard about the new, proposed Delta County gravel pit that they are planning on putting next door to my 35-acre family home.
Here’s proof gun laws don’t work
Dear Editor:
In the news this morning it was confirmed that the two Tsarnaev brothers responsible for the Boston bombings did not have the necessary gun permits required for gun ownership in their city and the state of Massachusetts.

Let’s get back to the Constitution
Dear Editor:
Thank goodness that some of our senators have the intestinal fortitude to stand up to the socialistic special interest groups supporting the Obama Administration and block the proposed nonsensical gun control bills.
Now, since they have found out they can still respond to the true needs of the American populace, maybe they can start to regain control and repeal/remove the socialistic garbage that has been imposed on us.
U.S. Constitution clearly outlines our rights
Dear Editor:
The rule of law or the rule of man, where are we headed? Throughout the history of the world probably 98% of all the humans that have ever lived have suffered under the rule of man, be it king, queen, dictator or some other person who presided over others and whose word was law.
SB 252 will keep Colorado on track
Dear Editor:
Did you know that in rural Colorado only 10% of energy is generated by clean energy sources while other major Colorado utilities are on pace to produce 30% of their electricity from renewable sources by 2020? With abundant wind, plenty of sunshine, coal mine methane, and an environment worth protecting, it's time to recharge renewable energy in Colorado.
