Candidate Survey - Louisville Metro Candidates
The American Volunteers by Theresa Fritz Camoriano When Alexis de Tocqueville visited the United States in the early 1800's to study our society, he described us as a country of volunteers.
Raising The Minimum Wage Hurts Those It Purports To Help By Grant R. Gulibon Gubernatorial candidate Bob Casey's proposal to immediately raise the state's minimum wage by $1 and by another 50 cents by 2004 is a well-intentioned but economically damaging move that would harm the very people that it is supposed to help.
Taking it to the chin By Ed Lewis I have never before responded publicly to criticisms or emails sent to me but have always responded privately. However, I received two - I don’t know what article(s) they were in response to – that clearly show that there isn’t any need to use the fastest communication tool we have available to help educate those who are uninformed. Or, to possibly use the Internet to put a different slant on things which should matter to every American.

What is scary about our times is how easy it is to get Americans to give up our most basic rights if you just use some pretty words. You can violate the "equal protection of the laws" provided by the 14th Amendment if you use the word "diversity" and you can violate the free speech protections of the First Amendment if you call it "campaign finance reform." Thomas Sowell “The legitimate powers of government extend to such acts only as are injurious to others.” Thomas Jefferson
