This is in response to the article pertaining to the James Norman lawsuit whereby he alleged that prison officials should have been protecting him. How ironic. Did Mr. Norman protect his ex-wife Pam when he hid in her house and, upon her return from work, he backed her into a corner and then…

On behalf of the University of North Dakota College of Nursing, I want to extend our deepest appreciation to Sens. Kent Conrad and Byron Dorgan and Rep. Earl Pomeroy for their tireless efforts in securing funding for the Quentin N. Burdick Indians into Nursing: Recruitment and Retention of A…

Thank you for your thoughtful editorial on Nov. 12 stating that "the U.S. Congress plays a dangerous game with health care reform." This bill obviously endangers the quality of our health care in North Dakota, as well as our total economy. This issue is so important that it should be postpon…

Our country has recently celebrated our honorable and patriotic veterans. They are well deserving of our tributes.

Perhaps “death panels” weren’t such a bad idea. For private health insurance companies.

I am amazed that Rep. Earl Pomeroy no longer works for the North Dakota citizens, but is now answering to House leader Nancy Pelosi.

Richard Vedder's recent letter criticizing our support for higher education in North Dakota is more than a little ironic. As the nation struggles through a severe national recession, most North Dakotans continue to work and raise their standard of living. They do so, in large measure, becaus…

As America looks to create jobs, clean our environment and increase our energy independence, home-grown ethanol can help us achieve all three of these important goals. That's why I don't understand why some folks continue to spread false rumors, largely started by foreign oil interests, and …

I am a former resident of North Dakota. I keep up with events in the state and its activities. The Devils Lake water problem has been observed and I have read of international discussions and demands. The Red River flood problem has not been resolved.

Well, true to form, Rep. Earl Pomeroy voted with the Washington elite and against the wishes of the people he is supposed to represent. I bet more people in North Dakota read more of the bill that he voted for than he has. It reminds me of during the Clinton administration, when Pomeroy vote…

What was the Burleigh County highway engineer thinking when using gravel pit spoil piles to gravel the streets of Driscoll?

We are losing what's made our country great. Instead of moving toward greater liberty, we're moving toward greater government control of our lives. Increasing the size and scale of government, at the expense of liberty, is being done so government can achieve what is perceives as good. But g…

I want to voice a similar sentiment to the St. Alexius Health System advertisement from a rural hospital perspective.

I believe that in a recent letter to the Tribune from Thomas Mayer, in response to my message supporting health care reform efforts of North Dakota's congressional delegation, that my comments were misconstrued and that Mr. Mayer's "take away" was not the intended message I had hoped to conv…

I believe the Department of Homeland Security is way out of line with its plan to tear down 22 small ports of entry along the northern border, including nine in North Dakota, and rebuild them at a cost of $10 million to $12 million each.

There will be no cost of living increase for Social Security. Its going broke and has no trust fund. The Democratic Party also wants to gut Medicare to start up socialized medicine. What government gives, it eventually rations and then takes away as money dries up and political priorities…

As someone involved with the very first operational Center of Excellence in North Dakota, I wanted to let people across the state know of the benefits the COE program has provided.
