A card for all

So Sarah Palin (and FOX News) had a problem with the White House greeting card? Not enough faith, family and freedom to satisfy her Christmas season needs? Tell me: What do faith, family, and freedom look like? Mary and Joseph looking at the baby Jesus, swaddled in the American flag in the East Room?

White House greeting cards, from Republican and Democratic presidents, usually show a picture or painting of the White House exterior or one of the holiday decorated rooms in the building. Occasionally, the family dog is in the picture. Doesn’t Palin realize that these cards are being sent to people of different religious persuasions from a president representing American Christians, Jews and Muslims?

A new day in Miami Beach

I am profoundly disappointed with the May 13 and April 30 editorials, Politics at its worst and Dreaming of a convention center. The two editorials were full of false statements and “spin” provided by the city manager’s supporters and, apparently his very own unauthorized taxpayer funded crisis manager.

The goal: more water conservation

Audubon Florida was happy to see the May 13 article South Florida cuts water use by 20 percent, on the success of South Florida’s water-conservation methods. Our region has made progress. But if South Floridians want water security in the future, more must be done through meaningful water conservation. 1337637813
Better way to ‘purify’ voter rolls

Guess we have yet another Republican-influenced election year stunt with the 180,000 questionable “citizen status” verification voters.
