A Policy Failure
GRE Round Up for Mar. 9
There's some good stuff being turned out. I hope you're availing yourself of it, and importantly, sharing these links via emails, on blogs and forums, with your local newspaper editor, etc.
A common complaint is media bias and absence of representation for "our side."
These people work hard to change that and ask for nothing from those of us their labors serve other than to help spread the word. I hope no one thinks that's too much to ask.
Here are their latest offerings:
Ed Stone/Atlanta:
SB 308 passes Senate Special Judiciary Committee
Howard Nemerov/Austin:
Dad saves 2 daughters’ lives, Commercial Appeal calls him ‘suspect’
Paul Valone/Charlotte:
A rare opportunity for North Carolina gun owners
John Longenecker/Los Angeles:
Safer Streets 2010: Safer Starbucks?
Kurt Hofmann/St. Louis:
One year after murder of IL pastor, more can be done to defend churches against killers
Go. Read. And please share the links.
You're doing that, right?
