An Open Letter to Chicago Tribune Columnist Clarence Page

Dear Mr. Page:

In your March 4 column “Breitbart’s culture war ends," you ask that the “new age journalists” should respect “old-school media values like accuracy and accountability . . . Our first mission, whether in old or new media, is to help clear up the public’s confusion, not add to it.”

Associated Press drops the ball on coverage of 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals decision to stop deportation of 7 illegal aliens

Does the Associated Press (AP) know anything about the illegal immigration issue?

If you read this story, you'll come to the conclusion that, no, it does not.

New state legislation has been introduced by a group of senate Democrats that will make companies that hire persons who are not legally in the U. S. ineligible for certain tax exemptions, governmental contracts, grants and loans.

The proposed legislation was immediately criticized by State Rep. JoCasta Zamarripa (D-Milwaukee) who called the bill divisive and "yet another attempt to fix the broken immigration system at the state level."

 She said the proposed legislation (Senate Bill 137) addresses "a small portion of the complex issues surrounding immigration reform" that's a federal responsibility.

"While I share the frustration that we need tough, fair and comprehensive immigration reform, I am tired of members of both political parties demagoguing on the issue of immigration reform," she said in a press release issued Friday.

Earth Day 2011: 41 years of congressional stupidity and public indifference

After two years of concentrated effort, we have concluded that, in the long run, no substantial benefits will result from further growth of the Nation’s population, rather that the gradual stabilization of our population through voluntary means would contribute significantly to the Nation’s ability to solve its problems. We have looked for, and have not found, any convincing economic argument for continued population growth. The health of our country does not depend on it, nor does the vitality of business nor the welfare of the average person.
