But, considering the New Testament, these two people are MUCH closer to the Kingdom of God than is the Archdiocese of Denver. In at least this case, stature trumps status. Gregory Iwan Longmont http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/gregory-iwan-the-new-testament-and-sacred-heart/ Dear Editor: This past winter brought us record snowstorms and floods, continuing collapse of the housing market, and partisan paralysis in Washington. I really look forward to March 20th, the first day of spring, balmy weather, blooming flowers, and the Great American Meatout. Several years ago, it was a local Meatout information ... http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/stanley-silver-the-great-american-meatout/ We have listened with open minds to people’s concerns that the children of a lesbian couple were denied re-admission to Sacred Heart of Jesus School. We, too, are saddened by this decision. Yet, we believe the Church and millions of Catholics were guided by our faith to take this position. For ... http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/carol-o%e2%80%99sullivan-jake-and-cyndy-brooks-following-church-teachings/ What in the world is wrong with Israel and why do they continue to flaunt international law in continuing to expand their 'settlements' which is nothing more than continuing to steal Palestinian land? Do they think the world is blind? Have they themselves somehow gotten into a strange form of the ... http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/grant-d-cyrus-stop-supporting-israeli-incursions/ Dear Editor: Joe Carnival gets my vote for Erie Board Trustee. Joe brings a fresh, new perspective to the Board yet will continue to build off our existing town leadership.  Joe has the ability to listen and react while representing the people of Erie and maintaining our best interest for today and ... http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/tony-burgard-joe-carnival-for-erie-board-trustee/ There is an oversight in Brad Segal’s otherwise excellent Guest Opinion of March 14, 2010. He claims that Obama's health care reform plan “offers significant improvements in all key areas that have been proven to work in health care systems throughout the rest of the developed world.” A missing key ... http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/john-balassa-not-for-profit-financing-of-health-care-is-the-key/ After this latest dog and pony show called the health care summit, Democratic politicians will try and push their legislation through Congress using the “Reconciliation” process. The final version may even have a “Public Option”.  The overriding question is will this bill really fix our dysfunctional health care system? The public ... http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/richard-hansen-health-care-reform-sustainable-cost-is-still-the-issue/ Pressure for all-mail balloting is relentless. All-mail balloting seems to me to be more like an administrative procedure than an election. Fair and honest elections include oversights based on hard-learned experience. Most of those controls get tossed out with all-mail balloting. The claim of a higher turnout with all-mail balloting is certainly ... http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/ivan-c-meek-no-all-mail-elections/ I read with dismay the front-page article about prepping elementary school kids for college.  This is a dreadful idea.  Having lived in New England for 25 years, I am all too familiar with the culture of children's lives being shaped by the college application form. I know of parents who were ... http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/michael-durall-college-bound-first-graders/ Dear Editor: I am a lesbian student in Boulder and I am frustrated by the situation surrounding Sacred Heart of Jesus.  Ironically, I am frustrated with the LGBT community's response to the situation.  Of course, it is sad and ironic that a Catholic school would refuse a student on the basis ... http://camera-letterstotheeditor.pmpblogs.com/2010/03/18/beth-billington-sacred-heart-not-a-battle-to-fight-for/
