    Who should you vote for?

    Joshua Haider Mitt Romney This election is an unfortunate one for me and others.

    Voter ID in Minnesota

    Joshua Haider Yes to Voter ID The issue of Voter ID may not be the most interesting issue on the ballot this year, but it is still fairly contentious.

The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops has issued several open letters and briefs stating their united opposition to the mandate, while “support” has also come in the form of some particularly tasteless comments from Rush Limbaugh.

    Should Gay marriage be legalized?

    Joshua Haider; Gay Marriage Hurts Society Let me say right from the get-go that this is a hard side for me to write, not just in terms of the case that I will make, but in terms of the people who could be hurt to find that this is my position on the matter.
