It was a most amazing afternoon. It was the Winnebago County Democratic Club’s annual Corn Roast. Corn roasting in the husks were on the ‘barbie’ and the smell of hot dogs wafted through the air. Cans of melted butter sat next to large Morton Salt containers and rolls of paper towels. Late summer in Wisconsin when the sweet corn is …
I should be excited about the all the outrage of opposition to Trump’s pick for the Supreme Court. My e-mail box is full of pleas from every organization. However, sad as it may be, I am not excited nor encouraged. My husband and I worked our hearts out in 2016 for Hillary and Democrats. We are doing so again this …

Dear Congressman McClintock,

More guns and assault rifles and arming every citizen 24/7, apparently including children, will only make death by gunshot more common in the …
The NRA exalts the unrestricted right to buy military assault weapons designed not for hunting or self-defense but for attack. They say civilians regardless of mental status, history of abuse, lack of training, or …
