Dave Stang, Watkins I want to express my support for Alex Lewandowski, candidate for Sartell City Council. As a long-time family friend, I have known Alex since he was young and have found him to be a tremendously hard worker, with a follow-through and dedication to any task he is assigned to do. His attention to detail and his great
America is in danger of extinction
Denis Grossen, Sartell It has been said repeatedly, this November election is the most important ever. What is at stake, however, is the survival of a national structure based on virtues that have been, from the start, unique and different. The Founding Fathers produced a Constitution to empower individuals and give them the unique capability to define, limit and control
3 big challenges: Covid-19, racism, global warming
Jim Graeve, St. Joseph Dr. Martin Luther King told us “the arc of history bends toward justice.” George Floyd’s murder bent the “arc” in a straight line to our hearts, heads and consciences.

Breaking News: Founding Fathers Dead
Patric here at the news desk. I’ve just been handed breaking news: all of the Founding Fathers of our country are dead. James Madison, the last surviving Founding Father, passed away in 1836, a mere 184 years ago. Oh wait, that’s not actually news. It turns out the Founding Fathers have been dead for generations. Given that, I am baffled
Election results should be accepted
As Election Day is drawing ever closer, I’ve noticed an alarming trend of rhetoric emerging about the potential results. Recently, at their respective debates, both President Trump and Vice President Pence refused to definitely state they would accept the results of the November election and commit to a peaceful transition of power. Trump particularly has also made regular statements questioning
