He is a proven legislator who works with both sides of the aisle and has been experienced, accomplished and effective in protecting Maine’s environment.

Catholic Church needs to change
As a Catholic parishioner, in the light of the continuing sexual problems of priests in our Catholic Church, I submit, respectfully, that I think it is time for change in the church. I think it is time for male domination to end. I think it is time that women gain respect and equality as human […]

Kavanaugh a threat to health care
As a member of the future generation of this great nation, I believe that the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh would pose a threat to affordable health care and many other issues that Mainers face in everyday life. People cannot continue to be silent. The confirmation of Kavanaugh could be a danger for many constitutional rights. […]

Support for universal home care
My family has worked for a long time caring for each other at home. My husband and our children carry a serious genetic disorder, Marfans Syndrome, which means that our lives have been filled with surgeries to help us function; pain is a daily reality. We have dealt with other disabling conditions as well. Despite […]

No figuring out Democrats
What? On one side of their mouths, liberal leftists are all concerned about possible Russian interference in America’s elections; yet, on the other side of their mouths, they want to allow non-citizens to vote in elections. Go figure. Joan Villani, Lewiston

Nominee Kavanaugh a threat
I feel strongly that U.S. Sen. Susan Collins should vote against nominee Brett Kavanaugh’s confirmation to the Supreme Court. If confirmed, he poses an immediate threat to anyone who holds a marginalized identity. He could take away basic rights for people of color, queer folks, any person with a uterus, immigrants and more. I am […]

A better approach to dying
I have noticed, during my last ailment, that whether it is the doctor’s, institution’s, insurance company’s or government’s regulations, the first approach to providing medical services to patients is a quick shuffle and grab the money. As I get closer to death, I find that the care process seems to be always getting kicked down […]

Sen. Collins should vote 'no'
I am a disabled veteran of the United States Marine Corps. I am glad to have served my country for six years; however, I have been struggling with chronic pain for seven years. I have to depend on only the Veterans Administration for my health care, and it is completely frustrating. There are long waits […]

An illogical decision
I am confused. With the temperature hovering around 90 degrees Wednesday, Aug. 29, I can see a logical connection to the closing of some schools, because of the high heat and humid conditions. As I drove by the Poland High School practice field that day, I could not understand the illogical decision to have football […]

PETA's roadside folly
This is in regard to an article in the Sun Journal (Aug. 30): “PETA wants tombstone for lobsters that died in crash.” At first, I laughed in disbelief, but then I realized that it’s not so funny. The People for the Ethical Treatment of Animals group wants a fancy five-foot granite tombstone to be placed […]
