Every vote for Republicans and their fossil fuel rulers brings your planet and our grandchildren closer to extinction. We cannot continue to allow the fossil fuel industries like Koch Industries to continue to rule the Republican party on state and federal levels. In Maine, for example, rich libertarian fossil fuel money went into the failed […]

Letter to the Editor: White people need to learn about race
Did you ever see this bumper sticker “Live Simply so others may Simply Live?” These words were proudly pasted on my first car. Thirty years later, my car doesn’t sport that sticker because I am not living simply. If I am being honest, my 19-year-old white-girl self wasn’t either. White people don’t often talk about […]

Letter to the Editor: Global action needed to stop Syrian atrocities
As I watched the Feb. 21 60 Minutes piece on Syria and President Assad, I was really choked up.

Letter to the editor: Plays on words make headlines memorable
Again, your headline writer hits it out of the park, three times in one edition. I refer to Feb. 12. The front page, over the centerpiece photo: “A Moment Frozen in Rime” played on the words of an old saying, and introduced many readers to the concept of frosty rime. Then, on the front of […]

Letter to the editor: Lenten season encouragement to give up lies
“This is the true and central program of the Lenten Season: to listen to the word of truth, to live, speak and do what is true, to refuse falsehood that poisons humanity and is the vehicle of all evils.” (Benedict XVI, General Audience given Ash Wednesday, March 1, 2006, p. 11) Let us give up […]

Letter to the editor: Republican galled by Maine party’s attack on Collins
Maine Public recently released a story headlined “The Maine GOP Has Condemned Susan Collins’ Vote To Convict Trump – But She’s Not Having Any Of It.” As a lifelong Republican and strong supporter of our senator, Susan Collins, I absolutely love this headline because it speaks volumes to the kind of leader she is.
