    Pro-Life Alliance spread false data about Poliquin

    I received a solicitation in the mail from the National Pro-Life Alliance. It informed me that the only U.S. Senate candidate from Maine who is 100 percent pro-life is Scott D’Amboise. It also stated that none of the other candidates responded to their candidate surveys. Therefore, it surprised me that next to the name Republican […]

    Grant has integrity, ability to serve as representative

    Gay Grant may be known to some of us for her singing voice, but others know her for speaking up for the kids and for creating opportunity when she was on the SAD 11 School Board.

    Bustin will stand up to governor

    I don’t know about you, but I am extremely disappointed by the way things are going in Augusta. The majority party in the Maine Legislature is taking our state in the wrong direction. Gov. Paul LePage makes decisions, proposals and vetoes dependent upon his punitive view of the world. And, Republican lawmakers seem to be […]

    East-west highway would ruin millions of acres

    Maine people let Gov. Angus King sell Plum Creek a beautiful part of our state. He said it was for forest conservation, for the good of our state, but that promise was not kept. Now another vulture of our land is about to ruin millions of acres. Peter Vigue of Cianbro wants to build a […]

    No-tax pledge created to protect income of rich

    I would like to respond to Charlie Summers’ comments about my recent letter to the editor concerning the no-tax pledge. I want to clarify that I do not support increasing taxes on the hard-working people of Maine and America. When Rob Caldwell of Channel 6 asked Summers if had he signed the no-tax pledge, Caldwell […]

    Parker’s column veers from usual competence

    Kathleen Parker’s May 28 column featuring Newark Mayor Cory Booker’s remarks about President Barack Obama’s criticism of GOP presidential nominee Mitt Romney’s job-creation skills was well-written and factually correct, but lacked journalistic truth. The column was about Booker’s criticism of Bain Capital, the company Romney often mentions. His stump speeches cite his business experience creating […]

    New carbon emissions rule a step in the right direction

    I recently attended a hearing in Portland on the EPA’s new national standard limiting carbon emissions. The event included a broad panel of Mainers who spoke in support of these important new rules, which for the first time will set limits on climate-changing pollutants from new power plants. The speakers included a forester, a climate […]

    Mexican drug cartel violence fits three adages

    In response to the question posed by the Augusta (Ga.) Chronicle editorial regarding Mexican drug cartel violence, I offer three adages: * “The love of money is the root of all evil.” It’s not the “victimless drugs” that are at the heart of these massacres. It’s the massive income they provide the cartels — thanks […]

    Foes of east-west highway have legitimate concerns

    In your recent article, “Vigue turns ambition to an east-west highway,” Peter Vigue calls the opponents of the east-west highway “unprofessional,” “threatening” and even “ecoterrorists.” He says, “This is not the way we do things in Maine” To set the record straight, the majority of people who are raising their voices in opposition to the […]
