Connect and elect
Dear Editor:
On Election Day, every eligible voter has the opportunity to cast a vote for the future. This is the day that we as Americans individually vote and collectively determine the future of our nation.
Regulators act with unconstitutional powers
Dear Editor:
If an action is really a crime and punishable under law, the matter should be decided by a local jury trial under the criminal code. This gives a jury the opportunity to nullify bureaucratic overreach or an absurd regulation.
There’s no magic elixir to cure our ailments
Dear Editor:
We Americans like to think of ourselves as special, that we are smarter, braver, kinder and more deserving than people in other countries. To prove this we act like children.
You can find statistics to support any position
Dear Editor:
One of the interesting, sometimes amusing and occasionally frustrating features of campaign season is how figures and statistics are thrown about with abandon to support this or that position. I think a lot can be learned by examining historical records, but a lot can be obscured as well.
It’s time to change direction
Dear Editor:
We all wish everything was as warm and touchy-feely as Mr. Arthur Phillips describes (letters to the editor, Oct. 17), especially when discussing politics. God bless his heart, but just where in heck has he been?

CHS community service project was a great idea
Dear Editor:
It was a pleasure to see so many pages of the Surface Creek section of the paper turned over to the high school events here in Cedaredge last week.

Curry will carry influence
Dear Editor:
I would ask everyone in District 61 of the Colorado House of Representatives, and that includes the eastern half of Delta County, to consider voting for Kathleen Curry as their representative. She is an independent (unaffiliated) and as such is not beholden to any party.
Keep Millie Hamner in the State House
Dear Editor:
I urge residents of HD 61 to keep Representative Millie Hamner in the State House. She should represent House District 61 because she has lived on the Western Slope for more than 30 years and understands and appreciates our unique mountain lifestyle.
Wake up, Delta and Gunnison counties
Dear Editor:
The economy/jobs is on everyone's mind and words. So, let's talk about not only our local economy but also how it ties into the national economy.
