Open Letter to Tom Tancredo from Colorado Liberty Groups
Many Coloradans and liberty movement individuals respect you for your courage and honorable service to this state. But, we ask what really has changed, and how your High Noon ultimatum issued July 22nd reflects the principles and values you have long stood for? This ultimatum seems out of character and completely contradicts the sage advice you offered us in an Open Letter on December 21, 2009 and reiterated again passionately at a joint 9-12 Project/Tea Party event on January 16, 2010 . We...

But that’s not enough — if the Republicans take back Congress, they’ve pledged to Repeal Health Insurance reform and pursue policies that would end Social Security and Medicare as we know them. They’re convening in Washington, D.C., with Glenn Beck and Sarah Palin this...

Since the New Health Care Bills Passed,I am sure by generous donations by the Insurance Lobbyist and significant others. Will I go to jail if I do not have Insurance or do not have a job to afford Insurance?

We give other country's more money that should be used here. This NAFTA is...

Tea Party leader says group questions Tancredo's tactics and record
Denver - Tom Tancredo, set to officially announce his candidacy for Governor on Thursday, will have to work very hard to cobble together a plurality in a three-way gubernatorial race this fall now that he's alienated many of the state's most conservative voters.

An Open Letter to Paul Krugman
I don't know if it's just fun for you to do this or if you're actually convinced by it or what, but your blog might benefit from working harder to connect 1. to 2.. As someone that reads Krugman, doesn't always agree with him (I actually disagree with him on this point - on the Bush Tax Cuts), but does think he regularly has very good insights, I often don't even have the inclination to comment on your posts (although I do read them whenever you link to Mises) because they...

VoteVets Launches Open Letter in Support of Islamic Community Center in Lower Manhattan
(When I took an oath to protect and defend the Constitition back in the Vietnam era, nobody told me the Constitition's guarantee of "free exercise of religion" didn't include Muslims.  I'd proud that today's vets also understand that they are risking their lives not just for the flag but, even more important, for "The Republic for Which it Stands."   - promoted by Voyageur ) Generally speaking, most of my fellow CoPolsters support the Constitutionality of the building of the Cordoba...

Wyclef Jean: Open Letter: Why I Decided to Run for President of Haiti
Dear Reader, My four-year-old daughter, Angelina, and my wife, Claudinette, are the angels of my life -- and I know this year has been especially trying for them, as my efforts for Haiti have taken so much more of my time since January, when the devastating Earthquake nearly destroyed my home country.

Rick Warren: An Open Letter to Progressives
I understand the anger over Rick Warren’s selection to give the invocation at the inaugural. But what you aren’t getting is that Warren represents a large chunk of our country — Evangelical Christians who believe that The Bible prohibits Gay Marriage. I disagree with them. You disagree with them. I wrote extensively about how hurt I was to see the hateful Speech coming from them during the Proposition 8 campaign. That hurt hasn’t gone anywhere, but it seems unproductive...

On average, the American Taxpayer pays $1,117 each year to support Illegal Immigrants. Its...

State Senate District 16 Candidate Tim Leonard shocked the mainstream Republican Party and a lot of Democrats when he trounced moderate 5th Judicial District Attorney Mark Hurlbert at the GOP's SD 16 assembly back in May...
