The Democrat war on women needs to end now

Enough already!

The Democrats really need to stop their escalating assault on women. I, for one, have had enough.

First, the Democrats insulted every woman’s intelligence by trying to convince us that a legitimate discussion about first amendment rights — specifically the protection of religion from government intrusion — was an attack on a woman’s right to practice birth control.

Although not a Catholic myself, I think it is abhorrent that government regulations should force a church to ignore its own teachings. And unconstitutional to boot.

Of course, I acknowledge everyone’s freedom to choose contraception. That is a separate issue from freedom of religion.

It was unethical and insulting for the Democrats to muddle the two things up.

Second, Democrat Hillary Rosen attacked every woman who has ever chosen the job of caring for children fulltime when she said that Ann Romney, mother of five, “Never worked a day in her life.” What unfeeling foolishness!

Most recently, the majority of Democrats in the U.S. Congress voted against a bill that would have prohibited abortions for the sole purpose of ending the life of a baby according to its gender.

This practice clearly targets girls.

Again, Democrats came down on the side of waging war on women.

As the mother of three wonderful daughters and seven precious granddaughters, I have to protest this Democrat war on women.

I hope women and caring men will join me in the protest.

My strong hope is that real progress in the war on women will occur next November and the arrogant, self-serving, self-righteous leadership associated with Democrats will end.

Letter: Change has to come from the people, not the government

 Regardless of our political views, here are some questions in my opinion we each should think about, discuss among ourselves, and look at as we consider whether we live or die as a democracy, as an empowered nation, and as a free people.

Public access key to tourism

What do restaurants, motels, vacation rentals, gas stations, grocery and retail stores, plumbers and real estate agents have in common? Their owners and employees all depend heavily on tourism for survival. Lake County Commissioners, through the County Parks Board, have developed a draft management plan to help guide parks and recreation activities to support this economic engine for the next 10-20 years. The 120-page draft plan is available for review on-line and at the county’s libraries. The comment period ends April 30. If you enjoy walking, biking, fishing, boating, and swimming or your job depends on visitors to the area that participate in these activities, please comment.

Acting from our 'better selves'

The craziness that is going on, not only in America, but all over the world seems way beyond reason.  The list is long and well known.  What is important, in my opinion, is some recognition of what it is going to take to change the human condition.
