Tax plan hurts working families | Letters | azdailysun.com
Congress passed a budget that makes $4 trillion in cuts to programs, many of which help our families. This would be detrimental to the families in our community and our local economy.We need our elected officials to stand up against this awful tax plan! True tax reform would create policies that boost working families, not […]

Your suggestion that a “Top-Two” primary would produce a “moderate,” which you suggest Sen. Flake is, is way off base. If a Top-Two Primary offered general election voters Flake and Kelli Ward, voters would have a choice between two extreme conservatives with no option for social liberalism. Jeff Flake may be a gentleman, as his […]

Replace jobs lost by closing the Navajo Generating Station with “tourism?” Really? That’s the best solution Page’s consultant has come up with?

I’m watching national television reporting this evening, on the health care debate; some say that the problem is the failure of the healthcare markets. Really? Most of my conservative friends think markets self-correct and are the answer to all health care problems. I have a degree in economics, and I understand how markets work. So, […]

I was a proud and active member of MoveOn.org in 1998. It had a specific purpose and goal — a bipartisan one — that needed immediate attention and which largely succeeded. Since then, literally hundreds of left-wing organizations have sprung up, modeling themselves on the success of MoveOn. MoveOn itself has diversified to support a […]

Thank you for clarifying exactly who it is our elected GOP representatives actually represent. In the AP story, “Donors Tell GOP” on June 27, you make it crystal clear why most Americans are so disappointed with their representation in the US Congress.
