Ron Carlson, Bismarck Firstly, the NFL refuses to stand in front of the American flag as the national anthem is played. Secondly, the NBA refuses to stand with the people of Hong Kong as they attempt to face down communism and its attack on personal freedoms. Some very very dedicated ...

Darby Kruger, Minot In response to the letter sent by Brad Magnuson- Chairman, ND Renewable Energy Caucus. I find it ironic that 200-plus years ago our founding fathers had the foresight to see that people in positions of power would try to mute/silence those with whom they disagree and thus ...

Helen Bonebrake, Minot Good thinking MDN. I was happy to read the MDN will save money consolidating the Saturday and Sunday paper, everyone deserves a day off. I want to keep getting the paper, it’s one of the few daily pleasures I have and it’s the best bargain around! However, I am ...

Bob Zeigler, Minot I agree with the letter sent by Brad Magnuson concerning the angry and misguided columns written by Rob Port. He can write anything, no matter how inane, untruthful, libelous or out of left field (how’s that for irony?) and knows he can get away with it because he is ...
Chad Lindberg, Minot I sold a mobile home over two years ago to a couple that viewed it several times. Prior to that I had rented it for about 5 years, minor maintenance and repairs during that time. The home was in good condition, they decided to purchase and moved it to Rugby. Two years ...
Richard Pardon, Minot Buy Local - Keep your money at home - Promote Local Businesses - “Great Idea.” But the county and city governments don’t seem to understand the concept. Recently the Ward County commissioners voted to open an on-line account with Amazon. Several months ago ...
Diane Zander, Minot I believe in the common good. I believe when people are happy, good things happen. Pollyanna-ish? I’d pit my Pollyanna against a Scrooge any day. (cue my frequent dislike of the MDN political cartoons) I would for sure recycle more than the cardboard I do now. But I ...

Dale Volk, Minot I am writing on behalf of the pension holders, especially the Teamster Retirees. We are being told that the money in our pensions are running out. We are at risk of no longer receiving our money that we have worked hard to earn. We need Senator John Hoeven and Senator Kevin ...
Paul Ferrer, Minot My wife and I went on Monday evening to see the new “Downton Abbey” movie at the AMC Theater in the Dakota Square Mall – which we thought was excellent. Aside from the “sticker shock” at the price being asked for two bags of popcorn and two smallest sodas (in ...
Betty Nordstrom, Minot My husband and I have received the Minot Daily News for as long as I can remember. I do so enjoy getting up in the morning, having a cup of coffee while reading the newspaper. My first thought when hearing about the “weekend edition” with just one paper was of ...
Rev. Erin Lynn Gullickson, Benedict Education is a hot topic. Limitless talking points ranging from the school lunch program to mill levy assessments, gender neutral bathrooms, school shootings and the cost of secondary education; it is draped across headlines, campaigned within political ...
Pat Wilhelmi, Minot I’m writing in regards to the Weekend Edition of the Minot “Daily” News. The MDN is obviously in part, supported financially by subscriptions from we readers; seems like “we subscriber/readers” should’ve been given the chance to express our opinion as to ...
