At the Freedom Makers of Dubois County’s monthly meeting on March 11th, those in attendance agreed our group should put forth an official statement on the House Speaker Paul Ryan led American Health Care Act, a.k.a. AHCA. In short, our group does not believe the bill will repeal Obamacare or reduce the financial burden on…
The United States must resolve the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in order to defeat ISIL and similar Islamist extremists. I know the Middle East well from living there. I offer here a coherent U.S. foreign policy in the region. I speak the truth about Arab-Israeli issues that politicians refuse to do because of political correctness. The persistence…
Sadly, I was suckered into the Republican mantra against Hillary Clinton and I voted for Donald. No, I am not just a sore loser, my candidate won. Now we see the true face of this Republican administration as quietly endorsing culturally divisive tactics that are anti-black, anti-Hispanic, anti-Muslim, anti- Semite, and so forth. A good…
As a concerned former citizen of Dubois County, I feel as though it is my obligation as a citizen of the earth to reach out to you with regards to a struggle. I write in response to the recent letter from a Jasper High School student regarding straight pride. Though the student has great intentions…
The 16-year-old student that posted the fliers around Jasper High School last week has issued a letter to clarify the intentions of those posters. Although we won’t reveal the teen’s name, the mother has confirmed the authenticity of the letter. I am writing this letter in response to the posters that I hung around the…
On March 23, 2010, the Affordable Care Act was signed into law, an act which generated fierce and persistent outrage from the Tea Party.

Others, such as our national representatives, Congressman Larry Buschon and Senator Todd Young, clearly benefited…
Is this Republican administration the true face of the new Republican Party? Is this what one calls “conservative?” This current republican administration seems to be one of conflicting priorities, misconceptions and strange, misleading comments with a big dose of arrogance along with strong desires to limit freedom of the press and freedom of religion. However,…
I recently read Dr. Moss’s letter titled Liberal heads explode after Trump victory when certain statements caught my attention. While Moss introduces solid points about the left that deserve discussion, he utilizes faulty overgeneralizations to define an entire political ideology, exploiting statements such as, “Most people, unlike leftists, admire their national history, language and culture…
Recently, a letter to the editor was submitted to the Dubois County Free Press about the House Republican road funding plan, House Bill 1002. While I appreciate the constituent input I receive throughout session, much of the information provided in that letter was inaccurate and does not properly address why lawmakers have proposed to increase…
Many Indiana legislators appear to be lining up to support HB 1002, which would immediately raise the state gasoline tax by 10 cents per gallon and would continue to raise the tax annually. The bill would also increase alternative fuel decal fees by 50% as well as increase fees on electric vehicles, and commercial vehicles…
