Rep. Gallego is very concerned about President Fox’s disappointment
By Emilio D. Santos
I am writing
in reference to the Associate Press article written by Jim Vertuno about
Mexico’s President Vicente Fox's decision to cancel his trip to Texas. Fox

Needs to Lose Weight
by Sheldon Richman

H.B. 396, relating to the requirement that an applicant for a driver's
license shall provide a Social Security number and certain identification
information to the Department of Public Safety.

By
Emilio D. Santos
Memorial Day is set aside in America to honor those who have served in
our armed forces. But what if we spent this Memorial Day not just honoring those
who served, but also recalling why they served? ( Memorial Day
