Have people noticed how much the liberals hate President Trump? The media, the papers — the left can’t say anything good about him. It is time they got over losing the last election; and, believe me, that is what it is all about — Trump won, Hillary lost. Now it appears that Obama’s cronies were […]

Golden has proven track record
As a Mainer and a Democrat, I am supporting Jared Golden in the primary June 12. He is a fighter who has a proven track record of accomplishment in Augusta. He stands up for my liberal values on issues ranging from income inequality to environmental protection. Lewiston needs a congressman who understands its people, and […]

People’s rights relinquished
Haven’t voters had enough of those who can’t accept that their concept of what is correct — “politically correct” — is out of touch with constitutionality (and a huge segment of the American citizenry)? First, it was term limits for state legislators. The poster boy for that successful(?) movement was John Martin of Eagle Lake. […]

She was the first woman district attorney in New England; she was in the Legislature and on the Appropriations Committee; she then became the first female attorney general of Maine. During those years, along with her husband, she […]

Reputation attacked by my many enemies
Thank you, Elliot Epstein, for comparing me to President Trump (June 3). Being considered another “deplorable Republican” by elitist liberals like him is a badge of honor. “You have enemies? Good; that means you stood for something.” — Winston Churchill. In my lifetime, I’ve been brutally attacked by the establishment when I speak truth to […]

Lisbon's voice in Augusta
I strongly endorse Martha Poliquin for the Maine Legislature as representative for the town of Lisbon. She will be a clear, strong voice for those of us who believe in working together to solve problems, such as fully funding Maine’s public schools, bringing affordable health care to all Maine people, and protecting the natural resources […]

Golden is the best choice
Maine’s Second Congressional District is incredibly fortunate to have Jared Golden as a Democratic candidate. As a state Representative for Lewiston, he has, among many things, spoken out strongly for veterans. He advocates for them, not just because he himself is a veteran of tours in Iraq and Afghanistan, he does it because he believes […]

RCV means a stronger winner
Maybe the best way to understand ranked-choice voting is to imagine we all come together to vote, in an auditorium or community center. Under the old system, if your preferred candidate finishes last, all you can do is go home. Under ranked choice, it is as if voters are being asked to stick around and […]

Sneaky ploy by Seth Carey
I recently saw a sign for “S. Thomas Carey for District Attorney.” I had not heard that Thomas Carey was running. When I mentioned it to my family, they informed me that is was Seth Thomas Carey running. I realized that Carey had appeared to omit his first name from the campaign signs. That seems […]
