    There is no questionthat abortion is killing

    The abortion debate rages red hot again and is getting hotter and louder as the election grows closer. Each side attempts to shore up its believers with rhetoric to support its beliefs while trying to point out ambiguities in the other side's beliefs.

    Asking LePage to act like adult losing proposition

    Once again, Maine's illustrious governor show his colors, disrespecting both the state and its citizens. By refusing to attend the GOP convention and represent Maine and his party to the best of his ability, he instead acts like a spoiled child, who, not getting his way, takes his toys and goes (stays) home. While I am by no means a fan of Gov. Paul LePage, nor even a Republican, I expect our state to be presented and represented in a positive and professional manner. That seems too much to ask of this man.

    Democracy violatedwhen money gets its way

    Speaking of rape, that is an apt description of what is happening when billionaires insert their money into democracy at election time. I guess the Supreme Court has made this "legitimate" with its Citizens United decision, but I still call it "rape."

    Money talks, and Americasuffers because of it

    Excellent Aug. 28 letter by Howard N. Stewart on how our jobs have been lost to "free market capitalism," in particular communist China. The resultant off-shoring and out-sourcing has been devastating.

    People need to revoltagainst the wealthy

    I don't mind paying my fair share in taxes. It's when I have to make up what the millionaires don't pay that I say enough is enough. My parents were born in 1912 and 1911. The stories my mother told me about the Great Depression and how they got into that mess! History has repeated itself. There must be taxes to pay benefits for soldiers, disabled workers, firemen, policemen and all other public servants. Teachers are truly some of the most valuable in our system. Thank the educator for the education you have; otherwise, you are no more than a slave. What happened to physical education in our schools? Oh that's right, they cut education funding.
