The United States faces a test. We have always valued the system of three independent branches of government. We value the tradition of a free press and free speech enshrined in the First Amendment. For 241 years, the United States has survived many crises because the system has proved resilient and able to temper the […]

Lessard the best candidate
I encourage Waterford voters to turn out for the annual town meeting election Friday, March 3, and vote for three-term selectman Randy Lessard. Under Lessard’s leadership, Waterford’s finances have improved dramatically since 2008. He has helped produce an annual report that is informative and transparent, and he has demonstrated an ability to resolve conflicts peacefully […]

Government policy hurting people
I am simply amazed at the nerve of government officials in relation to fentanyl laws. State officials talk about fentanyl and how it is killing a lot of people. What they fail to do is distinguish between the fentanyl patch for medical patients who use it and the fentanyl that other people are using and […]

Seeing others as real people
I am sad that Catherine Ferrell (letter, Feb. 18) believes that Democrats are resisting “better schools, health care, fixing the broken Veteran’s Administration, putting folks back to work with good-paying jobs, finding goods in stores with labels that say ‘Made in USA’ again, making cities safe, fixing the nation’s infrastructure …” I don’t know of […]

About those tax returns …
President Donald Trump is already a lame duck. Republicans are holding town hall meetings all over the country (when they dare to show up), and the question that is asked most frequently and vehemently is, “Why doesn’t Trump release his taxes to show he has no Russian connections and conflicts of interest?” The latest reason […]

Rumford should be concerned
Much has been written regarding Nestle’s efforts to secure an agreement with the Rumford Water District to extract millions of gallons of water. Most speaking in favor of this agreement either work for Nestle or would benefit greatly from it. Both Hartt Transportation and RC Moore haul Nestle water. Cianbro is the construction company that […]

About George Soros
In recent weeks there have been innumerable well planned political spectacles (not spontaneous uprising) by some called “protests”. According to Fox News, George Soros, the one who selected Barack Obama as a candidate for the 2008 Democratic election, helped finance both Obama’s and Hillary’s campaigns for presidency, and is also the one who incited these […]

Democrats are idiots
Recently, I watched Dinish D’Souza give a speech at Columbia University. He is an immigrant from India. He has been studying the U.S. political system for years and has made a few documentaries, such as “Obama’s America” and “Hillary’s America.” He stated that it was Democrats who created the slave trade in this country. No […]

Planned Parenthood is vital
In 1994, I was 23 years old, living in Winston-Salem, North Carolina, and working a job that didn’t offer health insurance for its employees. I was in a relationship (with the man I eventually married), and having children at that time was not an option. Because of my low income while I put myself through […]

Don't change election procedure
This is in response to the Sun Journal article, “Electoral vote change in state?” (Feb. 18). Here we go again. Hillary Clinton won the popular vote by about 2.3 million votes out of roughly 129.1 million votes, which means she won the popular vote by roughly 1.78 percent. There are 538 votes in the Electoral […]
