I agree with Roy Dettwiler's letter published in your Nov.18 edition in that I also believe our country's current problems are largely spiritual. I've recently heard on the news that groups of activists: homosexual, pro-abortion or whoever they are this week, are protesting pro-life teaching or prayer breakfasts in the schools, or a cross on a teacher's wall due to a violation of "separation of church and state." ...more

I find it disheartening how people seem so distrusting of the government when it comes to health care, but love the idea of government intrusion into our daughters' bodies.

AVON PARK — She would have supported the 2006 Avon Park housing ordinance. She advocates English only for government signs and ballots. And she would require all illegal aliens to return to their country. But she's not anti-Hispanic. She sponsored a house resolution urging Congress to fund the Indian River Lagoon South Restoration Project, and she supports the Everglades restoration. But she shirks the label "environmentalist." And Gayle Harrell calls Tim Mahoney an accidental congressman. "He was simply the luckiest guy around," said Harrell, who is running against two other Republicans for the 16th district nomination. "He would not be in the U.S. Congress if the Foley scandal had not happened." ...more
