Independent voters not denied right to vote To the Editor: No, Mr. Ciecierski, it was not I that missed the point but you. I have the right to belong to a party I choose and support that party in an effort to bring its candidates to the ballot box. Sometimes I disagree with their points, much like one might disagree with a family member’s issue. But that does not permit me to enter my neighbor’s home and interfere with their choices, or would you think otherwise? You are not denied the right to vote, but if you choose not to participate in a party’s efforts, then why ...

Men should not be in women’s sports To the Editor: Why do we have women’s sports? Because most rational people understand there are differences between men and women. The Bible states that when God created people He made them male and female. Yet all are made in His image and have equal worth and deserve to be treated with the utmost of respect. In recent years the idea that there are two sexes has been brought into question by supposedly intelligent people. The latest Supreme Court Justice said she couldn’t define what a woman is because she isn’t a biologist. Yet most ...

June 11 letter missed importance of right to vote To the Editor: After reading Ms. Logan’s letter on June 11, I think she missed the point! I served my country and paid my taxes. I should have the right to vote for anyone and any party. I voted for the person running for office, never voted along party lines. One reason is because most of the time I didn’t agree with some of their positions on certain issues. For example, in the past three presidential elections I didn’t vote for any person running for the office. I didn’t think anyone running was capable of running this ...

Use the Constitution to regain our country To the Editor: After reading what I believe is a well-written and spot-on letter from Fredrick Ciercierski, I felt compelled to respond. As the wife of a military veteran who served for 22 years and ultimately gave his life for his country, I can no longer call myself a proud American. I still fly the flag, but I do so in honor of my husband and in honor of our children and grandchildren who followed in his footsteps and served, or are currently serving, in the military. I most certainly do not fly it in support of this administration. In my ...

Democrats plotting the fall of the US To the Editor: As most have heard all great nations fall from within, and I believe the Democrats are playing the long game to do just that. In my opinion, they are raising an army of our youth to bring down our nation. Did you, as I, wonder how “dorm storming” looking for jews on campuses across the USA started or who started pro-HAMAS/Palestinian anti-jew demonstrations on campus or why high school children and others were allowed to leave the classroom on a school day to demonstrate against ICE, the Trump administration? Fox News Feb. 10, ...
