Dear Editor, I am writing in reference to Mr. Lloyd Dickson of Seligman’s letter, to his statement.” Do away with the Electoral College”. I am writing with a background of service to America.

Can you survive financially?

Dear Editor, Americans are no strangers to hard economic times. Poverty still exists. Millions struggle with financial despair.  The answers are not always easy but here are possibilities.

In as little as a year or maybe two at the most you could be in…

Voters who finally grew silly sick and tired of the unending lies and incompetence of the Trump Administration. Everyone beware! We are headed in the direction of socialism. Why just look how well we…

Welcome hard-working legal immigrants

Dear Editor, Americans can expect more immigrants to enter our country in the months and years ahead. Most Americans aren’t opposed to more citizens. Many of us are not favorable to undocumented foreigners roaming about our country.  I’ve been to Mexico and a few other countries. I’ve always had to show my passport and answer questions when entering another country or coming back to America. It only takes a few minutes. Many years ago, my sons and I stood in a line of about a hundred people coming back to San Diego from Tijuana, Mexico. We showed our Driver’s license back…
