    More letters to the editor:Looking toward the election

    We are here to help, not to hoard. We are helpers caring for the old, the rich, the poor and those who are trying to climb the ladder. Keep these social concerns uppermost in your minds while you are trying to choose the political leaders for the next few years . . .

    Letters to the editor: Unjust ‘bigot’ branding feared

    Are advocates of traditional marriage intolerant? Most are not. The pro-traditional marriage movement is not trying to outlaw or to discriminate against individuals who engage in the practice of homosexuality. It would, however, be intolerant if this movement were promoting legislation that prohibits homosexual relationships, much like anti-incest or anti-polygamy laws. Of course, that is […]

    Letters to the editor: New trade deal works against workers

    When U.S. Trade Representative Ron Kirk visited the New Balance factory in Norridgewock, he assured workers that he wouldn’t endanger their jobs by rushing to lift tariffs on footwear (“In Maine, trade rep says he’ll help save U.S. jobs,” Sept. 14). Yet all indications are that negotiators for the so-called Trans Pacific Partnership, or TPP, […]

    Letters to the editor: Most Maine hunters hunt responsibly

    This is a special time of year for me and my sons. We are preparing for the upcoming hunting season with much excitement and anticipation. It is a wonderful exercise in remaining close to adult children, and it creates memories that last a lifetime. We enjoy this sport, which requires great responsibility. We enjoy it […]

    Letters to the editor: Marijuana, psychotic symptoms linked

    A recent editorial highlighted research in New Zealand warning that a long-term decrease in IQ may result from regular marijuana use before age 18 (“Adolescent pot use can literally be a dumb idea,” Aug. 30). Another worrisome problem in vulnerable individuals is the onset of psychotic symptoms — hallucinations, paranoid delusional thinking and other impairment […]

    More thoughts on Romney ‘gaffe’

    If only the American people could stop and realize how severely they are being manipulated by the so-called “mainstream media.” Once again, the left-wing media has shown it’s true colors, in gleefully pouncing on Romney’s ill-conceived remarks about the “47%.” I will not try to argue whether or not Romney’s numbers are accurate, or if […]

    Letters to the editor: Turmoil in Mideast, debate in Maine

    Money cannot buy love! In spite of the investment of billions of dollars in Egypt, Libya and other Mideastern countries, it is evident that Americans are still hated. Apparently, there was nothing in the agreements when we gave the money that our embassies wouldn’t be burned down or our diplomats murdered. As I have watched […]

    Letters to the editor: Summers’ volcano factor challenged

    In a recent debate, Charlie Summers proclaimed skepticism that humans are the primary cause of climate change. He said other factors, including volcanoes, have greater climatic effect than humans. Volcanoes? Hmm, let’s do some research. Numerous websites, including those at Scientific American and San Diego State University Geology Department, explain this phenomenon. Volcanoes can warm […]

    Mitt Romney

    Letters to the editor: Replies to the 47 percent comment

    “Presidential candidate Mitt Romney told donors Wednesday that he cares about the poor and middle class” (“Romney: I care about the poor and middle class,” Sept. 19), but his obvious disdain for the 47 percent of American citizens who “are dependent upon government … for food, housing, you-name-it” sounds remarkably similar to the policy of […]
