I have not seen or heard why Ben Chin’s campaign funds are paid, in part, by interests outside of Lewiston and Maine. Why would anyone outside of Lewiston have an interest in helping Chin win an election? I understand the Bates College connection. He graduated from Bates and many from there are supporting him. I […]

Immigrants are our future
Is America becoming a nation of cowards whose people are afraid to stand up for what they believe — afraid to live their ideals? I am speaking of the anti-immigrant hysteria that is a shame and embarrassment to me as an American. Since 2001, this country has admitted 780,000 immigrants and two, only two, have […]

Sen. King made right decision
While Bob Casimiro would lead people to believe in his Nov. 15 letter to the editor (wrongly attacking Sen. Angus King) that the Stop Sanctuary Policies and Protect Americans Act is cut and dry — it’s anything but. First, the bill would not only force local police to detain all persons of interest (without warrant), […]

Give terrorists no attention
With the latest wave of terror hitting Europe, I have been seeing in the news the face of some deranged guy who was killed by police or possibly blew himself up. On CNN, FOX, other Maine stations, they are showing some guy smiling, acting normal and then the carnage he inflicted on innocent people. ISIS […]

A nation of immigration hypocrites?
There have been many exchanges of opinions regarding Gov. Paul LePage’s stand on allowing Syrian refugees to enter not only Maine, but the United States as well. I would ask Gov. LePage and all like-minded folks to read Emma Lazarus’s sonnet called “The New Colossus,” which has been affixed to the Statue of Liberty since […]

Renegade snowmobilers not welcome
This is in response to the front-page article (Nov. 7) regarding the closing of snowmobile trails. Sadly, my family is one of those who have decided to deny access to our property. I want to be clear that the club that maintained the trails (Hillside Family Riders) was doing a great job of grooming, marking […]

ISIS the height of hypocrisy
In the Nov. 16 Associated Press article on the bombing by French military planes of Raqqa, Syria, the Islamic State group’s de facto capital, the group was quoted as saying that it attacked Paris because it abhors the city as “the capital of prostitution and obscenity.” This from the ogres who make no secret of […]

Republicans deal in facts
This is a reply to Nancy Willard’s letter (Nov. 13) which labeled me and other conservatives as having “extreme political views.” She said I did not substantiate the “horrific” things I said the Democrats do. If the Sun-Journal allowed me more than 250 words I would be glad to give references for my facts. It […]

A tribute to all veterans
Recently, I attended the service for veterans at Prince of Peace Parish Holy Family Church and I want to compliment Anne Sevidio and her committee on a wonderful program. This was my 12th year in attendance, and I must say this has to be the most emotional of all previous years. I am not a […]

Stop the liberal agenda
Ben Chin, a progressive, admitted that there were big differences between himself and current Lewiston mayor Robert Macdonald. I agree — Macdonald is against the city giving out free stuff. The number of Lewiston residents on welfare is out of control and the cost is killing the city. Lewiston has become a dumping ground of […]
