Congressman

Child Custody Protection Act

On Thursday, the Child Custody Protection Act (H.R. 1755) was introduced for consideration in the House of Representatives. I was proud to offer my support as an original cosponsor of this legislation which would protect the rights of parents under state parental notification and consent laws.

 

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR

Delta, I'm ready when you are to be new CEO

I want to take this opportunity to thank the Delta Airlines Board of Directors for helping me finally find out just what I want to be when I grow up. I want to be a Delta CEO. I am ashamed to admit that it has taken me 52 years to discover this, but as they say, better late than never.

Owners have right to sell mid-Fayette pastures

I was less than thrilled to see it on the noon news that day. Finally, days later, I saw it mentioned in today's The Citizen.

CNN kowtows to and slants news for dictators

In an April 11 revelation on the New York Times editorial page, Eason Jordan, CNN chief news executive, revealed that CNN had kept its Baghdad bureau open, even after some of their Iraqi employees had been arrested and tortured and the information minister had threatened to assassinate reporters if they went to Northern Iraq.

Whatever seniors have done, here's what they didn't do
