Letter to the editor: Reagan’s ‘tear down this wall’ a distant memory
For those who recall the sense of national pride that swelled from President Ronald Reagan's 1987 speech, today's America is unrecognizable.

Letter to the editor: Critic of short-term rentals paints with too broad a brush
Orlando E. Delogu (Maine Voices, Aug. 27) suggests – as summed up in the copy editor’s headline and subheadline – that short-term rentals are “the root cause of Portland’s housing dilemma,” “antithetical to the long-term interests of the city” and “unfair to residential homeowners.” Unfortunately, he’s painting a picture of all short-term rentals with the […]

Letter to the editor: Kavanaugh’s abortion remarks put politics over principle
The oldest and most venerated of all settled laws is the prohibition against the shedding of innocent blood. It is a law older than the Code of Hammurabi, which was written on columns of granite, and older than the Ten Commandments, written on tablets of stone. So old is the law that it is written […]

Letter to the editor: If foes of Republicans fail to unite, expect more years of an embarrassing governor
I have had a lot of problems with Gov. LePage. The recent news that he supports allowing employers to fire workers simply for being gay or transgender has put me over the edge! What a total embarrassment he is to the state of Maine. He’s totally unqualified to lead this state or anything else. The […]

Letter to the editor: To get fresh political approach, vote for Eric Brakey over Sen. King
Eric Brakey is a young, well-spoken, staunch libertarian who is committed to ending the self-serving, special-interest corporate welfare status quo that is entrenched in Washington, D.C. His campaign for the U.S. Senate is about reclaiming power and independence for the Maine people. Republican Eric Brakey is committed to upholding our Constitution, in the same vein […]

Letter to the editor: Republicans to fund independent Hayes as a way to split Democratic votes
If independent Terry Hayes thinks she’ll be running as a Clean Elections candidate, she is sadly mistaken. Most assuredly her candidacy for governor will be financially supported and promoted in ways with which she might not agree but certainly will happen – namely, by Republican PACs. If liberal and moderate Democrats and independents cannot, for […]

Letter to the editor: Don’t rush this lifetime appointment
It's also likely the deciding vote on the U.S. Supreme Court for the foreseeable future.

Letter to the editor: Republicans ignore courts’ role with Second Amendment
Re: “Critics say LePage’s support for case challenging protections for LGBT workers puts Maine in a bad light” (Aug. 28): Reading that Gov. LePage joined two other governors and 13 state attorneys general, all Republicans, in this suit, I thought the comment by Peter Steele, LePage’s spokesman, was both interesting and telling. He said, in […]

Letter to the editor: We really don’t know much about Bruce Poliquin
I just saw my first campaign ad of the season. It concerned Jared Golden, who is running against incumbent Rep. Bruce Poliquin in Maine’s 2nd District. It began by showing Golden running in a T-shirt, posing the ominous question “Who is the Jared Golden behind this T-shirt?” To be fair, let’s ask about Bruce Poliquin, […]
