I am concerned that America is faltering, and people might lose their rights of freedom to bear arms and freedom of speech. That would end our way of life. There is a coup going on in the federal government with the socialist liberal machine trying to take down the president. The media are fanning the […]

Rebekah Mason: Avoid taxes on health care
Representatives in Augusta should feel it is their duty to avoid unnecessary tax legislation, especially any that could raise the cost of prescription medications or decrease access to care. Activists throughout the state work tirelessly to support a pro-business tax climate that promotes investment and economic growth. That is why it is so disappointing to […]
Rebekah Krise: In support of LD 816
By supporting LD 816, Maine legislators can make Maine voters more powerful. When states that combine at least 270 electoral votes (the current number is 181) pass the bill, the National Popular Vote Interstate Compact will take effect. The compact would award 270 electoral votes and the presidency to the candidate who garners the most […]
Bob Mennealy: America represents something great
In his final speech, President Ronald Reagan explained that he was actually passionately pro-immigrant, saying, “America represents something universal in the human spirit. I received a letter not long ago from a man who said, “You can go to Japan to live, but you cannot become Japanese. You can go to France to live and […]
Peter Marcotte: Support for NECEC
I am a born Mainer. I grew up in Lewiston and still work there to this very day. I love to hike and fish and care very much about my home state and its environment. That is why I am supporting the New England Clean Energy Connect. I would argue this project is the most […]
Stephen Sokol: In need of a statesman
I was fascinated to read over the weekend that Secretary of State Mike Pompeo has suggested that Donald Trump is the Messiah and may have been sent by God to save the Jews. From what I can understand, Trump has only made it more difficult to ease the tension in the region by first moving […]
Andy Bennett: Time for a drink of austerity
With all the squawking going on in Washington, D.C., there is one topic not being talked about: fiscal responsibility. Or, put another way (in the jargon of the new world order — socialist betters in Europe): austerity measures. Or, put another way in the language of the private sector/person on the street — spending cuts. […]
Mark Beaudoin: The Democrats’ hypocrisy
I have to wonder about those people who vote for and support the Democratic party. My first question is why? Why are Democrats, including Gov. Janet Mills and Speaker of the House Sara Gideon so hell-bent (pun intended) on destroying human life? Why are babies such a threat to the well-being of the state of […]
Eric Marenghi: Not all ‘losers’ lost the presidency
In Marc Thiessen’s column, “Democrats apparently like losers” (Sun Journal, online, March 22), he points out that Beto O’Rourke and Stacey Abrams are being taken seriously as candidates for president. This, despite O’Rourke’s defeat for U.S. Senate in Texas, and Abrams’ failed candidacy for governor of Georgia. There is some history of politicians fresh from […]
Josh Caldwell: Paid sick leave a plus for Maine
State Sen. Rebecca Millett, D-Cape Elizabeth, has introduced a bill that will require businesses with more than five employees to allow their workers to accrue paid sick leave. Entitled “An Act To Support Healthy Workplaces and Healthy Families by Providing Earned Paid Sick Leave to Certain Employees,” this bill is incredibly important for Maine people. […]
