Letter to the editor: There’s no closing our eyes to border atrocities

We are much better informed now than in earlier times in our history, when we just didn't know about such things.

Letter to the editor: For compassion’s sake, put more women in legislatures

Congress and state legislatures represent the people – all the people. They don’t do that well when their members aren’t as diverse as the people. This is particularly the case when these legislative bodies underrepresent women, who are more than 50 percent of the population. If women were better represented in Congress, do you think […]

Letter to the editor: Pantry worker grateful for food from grocery stores, farmers

Re: Brianna Quinn’s June 18 letter, “Grocery stores need to give good, unsold food to charity” (Page A4): I want to assure Brianna that some grocery stores do, indeed, support their local food pantries.

Letter to the editor: Editorial irresponsibly compares Mexican hopeful to Trump

Your reprint June 19 of The Washington Post’s editorial criticizing Mexican presidential candidate Andrés Manuel López Obrador was incredibly irresponsible and ahistorical. There is not much debate anymore that the 2012 Mexican presidential election was marred by massive irregularities, and the evidence is reasonable that the election was, in fact, stolen from López Obrador. So […]

Letter to the editor: Bus company’s apology for ‘citizen check’ falls short

The apology by Concord Coach Lines for its outrageous “citizen check” is far from adequate. They’ve admitted a mistake and simultaneously thrown the incident into a gray area by claiming that border agents can operate in this way within 100 miles of the border, an area that includes much of Maine and Massachusetts. Not only […]

Letter to the editor: Somebody should start working on the railroad

Regarding the June 12 letter to the editor concerning the terrible condition of the railroad crossing at the foot of Frost Street off Congress and Capisic streets, I couldn’t agree more. I travel this street at least twice a day during the week and have noticed its steady decline over the last few years, including […]

Letter to the editor: Treatment of children reminiscent of Nazis

In the Page A1 story Tuesday “President defiant as crisis grows, falsely blames Democrats,” we read two different perspectives on the children separated from their parents. The first perspective is an audio of “wailing children” and images “of young boys in detention center cages.” The second perspective cites “the more positive photos that Trump aides […]

Letter to the editor: Immigration makes our country great

Donald Trump is not the only wealthy, powerful person with an apparent desire for a new world order that includes slavery. But Trump’s activities and language suggests that he thinks he already owns some people. “You know what else they say about my people? The polls?” he said in 2016. “I have the most loyal […]

Letter to the editor: What dangers must exist for families to enter U.S.?

The next time your family sits down at the table and begins their meal, look around and ask yourself: What would cause you to gather everyone up to leave your homeland for an unknown, foreign country? What dangers must exist to make a trek through unfamiliar territory, to an uncertain future, seem the right thing […]
