I am sick and disgusted with Republicans and Democrats. Both sides say nice things but really merge together so they both can get a piece of the action. Donald Trump was running as an independent then shifted to the Republican Party because he did not have a chance of winning as an independent. He never […]

Support single-payer insurance
The Affordable Care Act has been flawed from its very beginning, when it turned over its administration to private insurers. Since then, and more so now, the nation has witnessed a decline in its “affordability” as the immensely profitable health care industry complains that it can’t make enough profit on the policies assigned to it […]

Another chapter in the story
I would like to thank the Sun Journal for re-posting the 50-year-old article about a 10-year-old boy who fell off a cliff near Sand Hill Road on Aug. 30, 1966 (Looking Back). That boy was me. I had been playing “The Man From U.N.C.L.E.” We were using pea shooters as “guns” and walking/playing on the […]

LePage puts it out there
It is funny that I can understand Gov. Paul LePage when he is talking about drugs and he puts it out there in black and white, yet an opponent labels the statement as racist. At least he didn’t say it wasn’t true. Maybe the governor should have quoted Jack Nicholson (from “A Few Good Men”) […]

Liberalism has ruined mankind
Recently, Gov. Paul LePage lashed out at Rep. Drew Gattine for calling him a racist. My favorite part in the 34-second diatribe is when LePage called Gattine a “socialist c——er”. And now the left is proposing that LePage be impeached. Some have suggested censure and others suggest therapy. What is really going on? Progressives across […]

Brakey engaged with community
Eric Brakey is doing a wonderful job as a state senator. Last year, my husband and I made Auburn our new home. We have always been engaged with our community, and that is why we attended the local presidential caucuses where we had our first opportunity to meet Sen. Brakey. He was unanimously elected to […]

Tax burden already high
I am writing in response to recent letters supporting Question 2 on the November ballot that reads, “Do you want to add a 3 percent tax on individual Maine taxable income above $200,000 to create a state fund that would provide direct support for student learning in kindergarten through 12th grade public education?” The common […]

Don’t let Nestle take the water
After reading letters to the editor from several area residents printed in local newspapers, I am jumping on board as a concerned resident of Andover. Nestle Corp. is trying to take water belonging to the people in those towns and the people must have a say in where that water goes. The finagling in policies, […]

Typical liberal reaction
Hooray for Gov. Paul LePage. There is no need for the governor to apologize to anyone. Liberal Democrats have been insulting Republicans and conservatives for as long as I can remember. It is funny how liberals can dish it out but cry foul when confronted. Now the liberals want the governor to resign — a […]

Giving voters more choices
There is a ballot measure that Mainers will be voting on in November that could drastically improve Maine’s political climate. Ranked choice voting can have a profound impact on how we are governed, and is truly the best way to assure a representative government. Ranked choice voting gives voters the option to rank candidates in […]
