LIFE president speaks on behalf of Unborn Child Pain Prevention

February 25, 2009

On behalf of the LIFE club, I would like to make a statement concerning H.B. 222. To deny an unborn child the right to life is unacceptable, but to deny an unborn child simple anesthesia or analgesics while unjustly taking its life is just coldhearted.

SLC needs Harvey Milk statues

February 25, 2009

I would like to propose that a small section of the Utah State Capitol grounds and a similar area on the grounds of the Salt Lake City-County Building be set aside as a memorial to Harvey Milk (1930-1978, the assassinated first openly gay person to hold public office in California).

Companies can’t be trusted to regulate own production

By By Kiyan Sharifian February 24, 2009

It is time to demonstrate some tough love for businesses that put profit before safety. I often hear the argument that regulation strangles America's competitive edge. Is that really the only thing that we would have to strangle to keep peanut butter safe? OK, sounds good to me.

Hits and misses
