U.S. Sen. John Hoeven, column: Reverse Obama’s religious-freedom infringement
The public outcry has been resounding and justified — and not only people of faith, but even those who do not hold these moral positions have expressed grave concern over the administration’s disregard for religious liberty and issues of conscience.

"I have worked toward approval of the Keystone XL, first as governor of North Dakota and now as a U.S. senator, because I believe it’s just the kind of project that will grow our economy and create jobs in the right way: through private-sector investment," the U.S. senator writes.

Connie Triplett, Grand Forks, column: President made the right call on Keystone

Dexter Perkins, Grand Forks, column: Obama’s right, critics are wrong on Keystone
