My name is Sharon Ullman and I am running for the District 3 seat on the Ada County Commission against an incumbent. The district number is determined by one’s address but this […]
Socialism: Here’s Why Not

“Those that fail to learn from history, are doomed to repeat it” — Winston Churchill All is not what it appears Why does most real change happen only after tragedies and disasters? Is it because the voices of those who are warning of future dangers are drowned out by special interests and those too pre-occupied […]
