Never have the citizens of the United States of America faced a more important decision. Economic and social forces have collided and seem destined to now make us choose between continuing with the nation of our proud and productive history or creation of a new one, which is based on the repeatedly failed, socialist/communist structure. ...more

As some who also has no health insurance, and who believes that the government should do something to reform it, I am, on the other hand, somewhat disturbed by the attitude of people like Colleen Kasperek who is willing to take any kind of government health care system including this huge 2,000-page bill, which I doubt anyone in Congress knows what is in it. ...more

Adam Putnam addressed Thursday during a town hall meeting at Florida College. "We have to get off fossil fuels for the future," said Putnam, R-Bartow, who discussed building nuclear plants and investing in clean coal energy while focusing on using today's resources wisely. Putnam, whose district covers portions of Hillsborough, Polk and Osceola counties and includes cities such as Temple Terrace, Lakeland, Bartow and Winter Haven, said health care is a hot topic, especially among the Democratic candidates in this year's presidential campaign. ...more
