Letter to the editor: What’s in the full Mueller report? Ask the Kremlin
A consequential, exhaustive and, by all accounts, credible investigation has just been concluded and is being kept under wraps. Congress, the American Civil Liberties Union and more than half the country are clamoring to see it. “Russia, if you’re listening, can you get us a copy of the Mueller report?” Jane Card Cape Porpoise

Letter to the editor: Science, history support ending ‘philosophical’ vaccine exemptions
I am writing in support of a bill being considered by the Maine Legislature to eliminate so-called “philosophical exemptions” to vaccination. I trust the science on this issue and the historical fact that immunization saves lives. It’s time to push back on the dissemination of misinformation and to strongly acknowledge that vaccinations are safe and […]

Letter to the editor: Trump’s tweet encourages Mideast authoritarianism
Imagine a peaceful democratic Jewish homeland living side by side with a peaceful Palestine. J Street, a pro-Israel, pro-peace lobbying group, has long encouraged this “two-state solution,” open discussion and concern for the safety of both Israelis and Palestinians.

Letter to the editor: Hijab is not proper attire for U.S. citizen in Congress
I agree with “Judge Jeanine” Pirro regarding Rep. Ilhan Omar’s wearing of head apparel commonly seen in her home country. Omar should discard her hijab and start acting the part of a member of Congress and a citizen of the USA. Norma Stanley South Portland

Letter to the editor: Want to honor Skowhegan Indians? Support Indigenous Peoples Day
Let’s hope that those Skowhegan residents who want to honor Skowhegan Indians are contacting their state senator to make sure he votes “yes” on L.D. 179. This bill will change the October holiday from Columbus Day to Indigenous Peoples Day. Instead of being a memorial to a man who enslaved Native Americans, it will remind […]

Letter to the editor: Save marine life – support ban on releasing balloons
On Wednesday, the Environment and Natural Resources Committee will hold a public hearing on L.D. 937, An Act Regarding the Sale and Release or Abandonment of Balloons. Balloons are a lovely, colorful way of celebrating occasions. But their beauty, fun and excitement is very ephemeral. What goes up must come down, and as balloons rise […]

Letter to the editor: ‘Non Sequitur’ cartoonist rightly penalized for sneaky move
I’m writing in response to several of the letters in the March 24 edition of the Maine Sunday Telegram regarding the comic strip “Non Sequitur.” The letter writers believe that the strip’s author, Wiley Miller, made an error in judgment and deserves a second chance. Mr. Miller intentionally hid the vulgarity to subvert editorial review. […]
