'Big Tobacco'

It is a pity and tragic that the Congress and the national media have been duped into endorsing bogus legislation that purports to give the Federal Drug Administration control over the tobacco industry.



Social businesses

I have just finished reading the inspiring book "Creating a World Without Poverty" by Muhammad Yunus, the recipient of the 2006 Nobel Peace Prize for his work founding the Grameen Bank in Bangladesh, which provides...



'Big Picture'

To our representatives and senators: You are missing the "Big Picture." We are transferring massive amounts of wealth to the evildoers of the world: Russia - Vladimir Putin; Venezuela - Hugo Chavez; and Iran/Middle...



Iran threat

This week Iran again refused to comply with the international community on its nuclear program.



Triathlon
Shell game

The Democrats demand that oil be released from the strategic reserve. Where do they think that oil came from, Santa Claus?



Party control

House Speaker Nancy Pelosi recessed the House of Representatives two weeks ago without passing a single spending bill. Why?



Backs Kratovil

I am writing about the 1st Congressional District race with deep concern.



Greater good

I will not recount all of the arguments for and against the construction of three piers through Sullivan's Cove.



Impotent nation

Americans are dying to bring "freedom" to a people whose creed denies freedom of conscience to all men, but especially men who will not bow down to their false god.



Constitutional Convention

The citizens of Maryland will be asked to take part in the electoral process by voting to approve or reject the call for a constitutional convention.

To all elected officials: I don't know how much more that I can make my plea clearer. If the energy crisis is solved, every malady that our economy suffers will seem to disappear.



Wexler taxes

It seems that when Mr. Wexler was elected to Congress in 1997 he sold his Florida home and moved his family to Bethesda where he bought a home which he and they have lived in since. To cover his Florida base, he has declared...



Energy policy

I think I've figured it out. President Obama and the Democrats in the legislatures will unite America by increasing taxes on American oil companies, all American businesses to shore up Social Security, "wealthy...



McCain, Iraq

Sen. John McCain has said he "would stay in Iraq for a hundred years," even if it means finishing the bankrupting of our nation, to say nothing about the lives of our troops.



Illegal immigrants

Some weeks ago The Capital headlined the raid on illegal immigrants housed and employed by a local painting company.



Liquor license

I am a resident on Mansion House Crossing and am opposed to another liquor store being opened at Chesterfield Plaza.



Iraq surge

Sen. John McCain seems to have forgotten the type of campaign he pledged to run - focus on the issues and not attacking his opponent with "personal, degrading and untrue dirt."



Orwellian

We are a nation founded on the concept that the individual is far more important than the government.
