The 15 Theses

By Trenton Hansen

When Martin Luther nailed his 95 Theses to the door of the Castle Church in Wittenburg, he was challenging the authority of the prevailing religion of the day, the Catholic Church. In a way, his struggle mirrors our own today.

Go Mitt!

Romney Handily Wins Maine Caucuses

By Trenton Hansen

Here are the recent polling numbers:
68% of Precincts reporting:
Romney 52%
McCain 21%
Ron Paul 19%
Mike Huckabee 6%
