By Jim Heffernan I’m still thinking about how money has corrupted our political life. Maybe a closer examination of the details might provide something of an explanation for the mess we’re in.

Sowing Seeds for Our Shared Future

Posted on October 15, 2022 by Editor

            These can feel like dark times to us everyday Americans:  extraordinary natural disasters, rising prices, violence against innocent children, social and political divisions even within families, our cherished democracy under threat.  All these things affect our lives and our livelihoods, how we feel about our days ahead and the kind of world we are leaving for our children, grandchildren, and…

I’ve been thinking … Money in Politics

Posted on October 14, 2022 by Editor

By Jim Heffernan I’ve been thinking a lot lately about money in politics. Each election, more money is spent on politics and now it has reached levels that I find truly shocking. Latest figures I find is that 13 Billion dollars will be spent on advertising and a further 4 Billion dollars will be spent on “lobbying”. I’m not exactly…

OP/ED: Showing Who We Are

Posted on October 12, 2022 by Editor

By Kim Rosenberg During this election season, I’ve met with all three of the candidates for (Manzanita) council, and not one of them is a serial killer or abuses small animals or steals from their grandma…that I know of. I bet they all recycle, pay their taxes, love their friends and families and return library books on time. What’s most…

OCEANSIDE INCORPORATION: Response to Oceansiders United Letter to Editor

Posted on October 12, 2022 by Editor

Link to Letter to Editor: “OCEANSIDE INCORPORATION: There’s enough division in Oceanside without lying to create more” “We wish every Oceansider could vote on the future of Oceanside, but most of our neighbors were excluded through a very deliberate process set in motion by the chief petitioners for incorporation.” Oceanside True Friends PAC stands by that statement. Chief petitioners stated…
