Dear Editor, Having just read in the Kingman Daily Miner, the article on the resurgent “Indivisible” movement in Kingman, I am struck by numerous inconsistencies. The article’s banner promoting a local progressive revolution is a quite clear statement of intent. It does however raise the question, what flavor of progressive? Is it a desire to progress toward clean and safe gang-free streets to go with a drug free culture and safe, clean housing? Should we expect full employment and schools that produce motivated, productive young citizens? Or is it the desire to have progressive leadership that fosters massive tent cities…

Dear Editor, After Suddenlink raised our service over 70%, I decided to call Frontier Communications for a quote. They quoted me a price if I took the service for two years. I asked if there were any add-ons. The agent said no. I agreed to their offer. I asked again if there were any other charges. The agent again said no. When I received the first bill it was 40+% higher than what I had agreed to. I called Frontier and they told me they add taxes and fees to all quotes. I asked why they don’t disclose this when…

Dear Editor, This is your wake up call, Kingman. The first shots in a war to take control of city government have been fired by bureaucrats in city offices. They are going to attempt to change the terms of elected city officials. The method used will be the referendum. This will make the attempt seem to be a citizen-drive issue. Sneaky of them, isn’t it? Their stated purpose, “To increase political stability by increasing the time the mayor holds office.” The effect of such a move is actually to remove you, the voting citizen, from the process as much as…

Dear Editor, I would take this opportunity now that my four years in high school are up to thank the principal, the kitchen staff, the security guards, and teachers of Lee Williams High School for four years of wonderful memories and experience. I would also like to thank the teachers who were part of the effort to help me graduate from high school. It is common to hear and read in the newspapers about shootings in the high schools, teachers having sexual relationships with students, and abuse or bullying in schools, but hardly anybody takes the time to praise the…

Dear Editor, There is oppression in America -for those who believe in truth and justice. The Democrats suppress free speech, the truth is racist they say -After all, you are supposed to serve the state, not the state offer freedom from tranny. There is persecution in America; of men who think that liberty means freedom from government misuse od power, of men who dare read truth and real science, of men not of twisted democrat communist ideology. Most of all, there is contempt for human life. What, to the democrats, is one man in a crowded world? Now, suddenly, there…

Dear Editor, The Mohave County Libertarian party will have a booth at the Mohave Pride 2019 event. I wanted to invite everyone over to say hello and to perhaps discuss the future of this country. Insanity has been described as “doing the same thing over and over, expecting a different result.” No matter what your political leanings are, there is no better description of insanity. Why then, does our country keep re-electing Democrats and Republicans into office? George Carlin once blamed our poor quality of elected representatives on the public, that basically it’s “Garbage in, Garbage Out;” and that we…
