In a time when many people are feeling worried about the future of the nation’s democracy and the planet, there is strength in unity. Resistance groups are forming in communities everywhere, some in the Lewiston-Auburn area. People can take a proactive approach and unite with their neighbors and resist. It isn’t difficult to do. People […]

Who will support the immigrants?
Concerning immigrants, it is my belief that President Donald Trump wants to let in only those who will be an asset to the U.S., not criminals or parasites to society, living on welfare forever. We already have veterans and the homeless. Who worries about them? They are the citizens who need public aid. It seems […]

Consolidation example works
I read with great interest the guest column, “Charter Commission short on facts,” by Lewiston City Councilor Shane Bouchard (Feb. 5). Because I was the chairman of the Princeton Consolidation and Shared Services Study Commission from its launch in 2010 to the completion of its work in 2013, I am especially interested in the councilor’s comments. […]

Living without prejudice
Klara Tammany’s guest column (Feb. 5) regarding the U.S. was right on target. I share her sentiments and believe that many other people also do. Some of us had the good fortune to be raised by parents who took their parental responsibilities very seriously. Those parents taught their children to respect others, to love and […]

The plan for Republicans
After the Feb. 7 Senate vote to confirm Betsy DeVos as Education Secretary, Maine Sen. Susan Collins’s voting strategy is becoming clear. She and Alaska Sen. Lisa Murkowski both voted against confirming DeVos, offering some mild criticism of the nominee’s inexperience and lack of knowledge about the department she will head, not to mention being […]

Get the whole story
People are upset over President Donald Trump’s executive order on banning refugees from certain hostile countries. Yes, logistical issues were not worked out ahead of time — shame on him. But the Sun Journal printed a picture of a girl appearing to cry on the front page (Jan. 31) and printed one-sided information about the […]

Congratulations to President Donald Trump. His new policies have created reactions all over the country. People everywhere are marching in protest. He has lifted thousands of couch potatoes into action and into the fresh air. Trump is making America healthy again. Peter Zanoni, Mexico

Not all made of the same cloth
I would like to point out a bit of pejorative equating in what was otherwise an excellent Sun Journal editorial (Feb. 5). Just as mainstream conservatives struggle with the ignorance and angry violence of the extreme-right KKK and skinhead elements (to the chagrin of even tea party members), leftists have problems with anarchists who use […]

Merger is a crazy idea
I am a proud resident of Auburn. I grew up in this great city. My family has lived here for generations. I have worked and raised children here. It is with great sadness that I watch a small group of businessmen from the local Chamber of Commerce doing everything they can to do away with […]

A place for the church bells
I was thinking about the bells from the former St. Louis Church in New Auburn. Even though it is not quite in New Auburn, it would be a perfect spot for the bells if they were placed on the grounds of the old Edward Little High School, where the statue of Edward Little once stood. […]
