Letter to the editor: Supporters of impeachment aren’t the ones fostering division

I am disappointed with Rep. Jared Golden’s opposition to impeachment hearings for President Trump. Golden writes about the need for healing and national unity. While I support these things, I think they are not concepts that the Trump administration or the majority of Republicans in Congress hold in high esteem. Trump and the Republican Senate […]

Letter to the editor: Opposition to new lobstering rules isn’t partisan stance

In a letter to the editor in the July 28 Maine Sunday Telegram, Patrick Dancoes praises former Gov. Paul LePage for opposing new regulations for the lobster industry.

Where is our Congress, anyway? Patricia […]

Letter to the editor: Don’t forget that love is stronger than hate

The president’s Twitter assault on members of Congress who he doesn’t like says more about the president than it does about his targets. It verges on hatred, diminishing him as a human being and violating basic moral principles. Hatred is abhorrent, so abhorrent that the writer of the Bible’s 1st Letter of John calls it […]

Letter to the editor: Sen. Collins urged to heed example of Margaret Chase Smith

Re: “Collins co-sponsors foreign influence reporting bill” (July 31, Page B1): I would like to acknowledge Sen. Susan Collins for doing the very least she could do to express her constituents’ frustration and anger with the criminal actions blatantly displayed by our president and his Cabinet. She knows that her seat is under serious threat, […]
