It's a neighborhood paper that actually has a full editorial page. I've written and been published before and they hardly ever edit my stuff. I always wonder if my neighbors read them as most are very conservative. Because our suburb is mostly aligned with GOP politics we get weekly articles by either of our 2 Republican Senators or our idiot Congressman, Ted Poe. All 3 pretty much push GOP talking points although Ted Poe likes to write about wonderful heroes of Texas history, the Aggies or the glory of high school football. He is a buffoon.

A friend of mine here is a member of a local group of Democrats who meet once a month to discuss issues and told me my name and my letters have been shared. Being an independent and not a member of any party, I have never attended one of their meetings.
