Letter to the editor: Sen. King is wrong – Big Government is the problem
Sen. Angus King wrongly asserts that Republicans have “divided the country“; it is Big Government that is divisive. An expanding Code of Federal Regulations, written by unelected bureaucrats, seeps into our lives and commanders our resources – there is too much at stake for various factions not to be intensely concerned how the “boot” or […]
