We must recover our freedom before it’s too late
Dear Editor:
Eleven score and 16 years ago "Our fathers brought forth on this continent a new nation, conceived in liberty and dedicated to the proposition that all men are created equal."
Americans have survived a great civil war, two world wars, and many regional conflicts which resulted in the loss of millions of lives, patriots and freedom-loving people.
Stimulus plan has many benefits
Dear Editor:
I was happy to read that Delta will be upgrading to fiber optics through cooperation with the Eagle-Net Alliance. In paragraph two of the 9/12 article, a $100 million federal grant is mentioned as the funding behind this nationwide push toward modernization.
Let’s get this country back to the basics
Dear Editor:
I read the letter from a person who extolled the virtues of President Obama. I can't help but wonder where this person has been for the last four years.
Commissioner Lund should recuse himself

Tour sheds light on Bear Ranch land exchange
Dear Editor:
Recently, a friend and I took advantage of one of the Bear Ranch land exchange tours being offered to the public of the new proposed trails and trailhead at what is now called the Buck Creek Ranch. The gentlemen who gave us the tour were very friendly and I was impressed at how open they were to answering all of our questions.
Wow! Someone cares
Dear Editor:
A big, big thank you to Hotchkiss Mayor Wendell Koonts and the Hotchkiss trustees for voting to spray in Hotchkiss.
It was encouraging to watch all of our town officials working together at the public meeting Sept. 5 at the Hotchkiss Town Hall.
Don’t be a lemming
Dear Editor:
There are numerous comments floating around that we have lost our country as we knew it or are in the process of doing so. Think about this: The U.S. Constitution and federal courts are no longer viable concerns.
Yes, it’s time for a change
Dear Editor:
Every year my health insurance pays for my annual physical, which includes bloodwork. This year, however, my insurance denied three different bloodwork panels, the same tests that I have every year because my doctor thinks that, based on my personal and family health history, they are necessary.
