My apology to readers for another letter, but our local congressman, Darrell Issa just will not let his deceit rest. He continues to cast votes against our veterans and for the oil energy moguls. The Republican led congress should have approved the giant spending bill before Democrats took control in January, but seem to have lost interest, and turned the unfinished bill over to the new congress. This giant multi-billion spending bill was given a quick tweaking by the Pelosi leadership to make badly needed changes, to add...

A while back there was a picture in the North County Times of a 64 year-old Palestinian grandmother holding a rifle (!) before carrying out a suicide bombing of Israeli troops, according to the caption under the picture. What might have happened that morning at the breakfast table? Maybe it went something like this: Grandson: “Grandma, what are you going to do today?” “Well, grandson, while your mother cleans the kitchen, while I clean your dad’s rifle, your grandpa and dad are going to make a bomb and put it in a basket for...
The athletic facilities at the high school have reached the point of being outdated and unsafe. Three years ago, ten San Diego county schools had gone to the artificial turf and track; today that number has doubled, and more are being funded and planned in area schools. While the pool area, old gym and practice fields are in need of major upgrades, Warrior Stadium serves the majority of students and community members. The stadium not only hosts football, soccer, field hockey, track, cross country, lacrosse and PE classes,...

David Meyers, try leaving the bile out of your letters, stop pulling one-line talking points from right wing talk shows out of the air; try to defend the Bush administration with facts, if you can. We should not go to war on distorted intelligence “cherry picked” to dupe Congress. Only a few diehards believe that Iraq had anything to do with 9/11 or that Bush has not violated federal laws. There is no good way of fixing the Bush Blunder. Minimum wage increases are not damaging to the economy. Why would Issa vote against it...
