Mainers, please get vaccinated. Nearly 65 percent of us are fully vaccinated now and I have not heard of one serious side effect. So, let’s show the country we lead not only in voter turnout, but also in common sense. It has been reported that our neighbors in the South have been ingesting medicine made […]

Letter to the editor: Promote recovery by decriminalizing addiction
In honor of National Recovery Month this September, I’m writing to support policies that promote recovery and end stigma for substance use. When I was 25, I entered recovery. It’s one of the hardest things I have ever done. If I had been arrested and had to go to jail, I am sure I would […]

Letter to the editor: Court’s ruling on Texas abortion ban should embarrass Collins
I remember the cloudy fall afternoon, three years ago, when Sen. Susan Collins’ voice came on the radio. I was driving home from work on the back roads in Brunswick. The leaves were turning and starting to drop. After listening to her justify her vote for Brett Kavanaugh’s Supreme Court nomination, I was so distraught […]

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins must work across aisle to protect voters’ rights
I feel like I’m in a dream, where I am screaming with no sound coming out. This is what it is like to watch voting rights being restricted all over the country. I don’t think I am alone. Many of us are watching future elections being fixed right now, and it’s terrifying. In 2006, Sen. […]

Letter to the editor: ‘Curtis’ ushers politics onto comics page
I’ve just read today’s (Sept. 9, Page B6) “Curtis” comic. Topic: Masking vs. not masking. I believe that “comics” imply something light and humorous. When this comic replaced “Mark Trail,” I was in favor of the change for a number of reasons. The “Curtis” strip was a good change. However, it is morphing into something […]

Letter to the editor: Issues with FDA-approved drugs reflect poorly on vaccines
In Maine, and around the country, overworked health care workers are bitterly bracing to be fired from a job they love in an industry desperate for manpower because the tyranny of an out-of-control medical fascist state won’t accept “no” as an answer. Our jobs directly affect the health of society’s elderly, sick and disabled. We […]
