Bob Sand, Killdeer, N.D., letter: Don’t let congressmen dodge responsibility
National health care reform has many enemies who are well-invested in the status quo. Contributions by corporate interests to candidates seeking election or re-election are investments.November 06, 2009

For too long, the public has let elected officials off the hook when things go wrong in the university system.
