US owes veterans more than just one day out of the year
Nov. 13, 2014I sincerely hope that everyone here in Gainesville had a great Veterans Day. Remembering those who have served our country — both the living and those who have passed away or died in action — is incredibly important. Our government is right to set aside a day for celebration and respect for the brave human beings who lay down their lives in the name of protecting every citizen of the U.S. Whether you agree with the military policies and actions the U.S. government has taken throughout history, the sacrifices made by our soldiers should never be diminished.

Progressive measures prosper despite losses
Nov. 6, 2014Tuesday, for those living under a rock, was the day of the 2014 midterm elections — where Democrats lost control of the U.S. Senate. They were also defeated in a number of key governor’s races, including in the state of Florida. The Democrats took a thumping, a shellacking and a whipping, with a net loss of 13 House seats and seven Senate seats.
