Women’s health issues a good topic for Doonesbury
Doonesbury has covered controversies about war, political scandals, citizen protests — and yet the newspaper chooses not to publish strips about women’s health issues? Please! We need the perspective; we need the laugh. Bring back the originally scheduled Doonesbury! Pat Onion Vienna

Paper has duty to deliver both sides of controversy
I am extremely upset that you would block me from reading one of my favorite parts of your paper. Doonesbury/Gary Trudeau’s opinionated cartoons are necessary to our culture. Thomas Nast was a social commentator who also used the comic strip venue. Would you want to go down in history as banning his views of then-unpopular […]

Priest accepts Courage post out of desire to help
I’m writing in response to the Kennebec Journal Feb. 3 article, “Maine gets Ministry that Supports Gays Wishing to Change.” I believe that my letter is indeed of general public interest. The Rev. Kevin Martin of St. Michaels Parish has graciously and unselfishly accepted the leadership of ministry, out of love of God and the […]

‘Three Days of Rain’ incredible production
I was one of the many in the audience at the opening performance of “Three Days of Rain” on March 9 at the ACAT Theater in Waterville. I wish to commend the three actors — Tim Croce, Heidi Holst and Evan Sposato — and director Joe Klapatch for their incredible dramatic acting and production of […]

Some people can make do, take care of themselves
Don’t drill, baby drill! I’m not going to argue. So what if gas or diesel hits $10 per gallon. I don’t care if the cost of a box of cereal gets up to 10 bucks. I don’t need to eat cereal. So what if a gallon on milk eventually costs 15 bucks. I have a […]

Mainers, please believe in old-time values
Citizens of Maine, please tell me you believe in the old values of man-woman marriage. In the Bible, God said man and woman should be married. I know Mainers believe in old-time values. In November, I hope Maine stands apart from other states. We do not have to vote the same way they do be […]

Paul has pledged to keep America as a free country
Anyone who has read James Perloff’s book, “The Shadows of Power,” knows that the well-entrenched Council on Foreign Relations seeks to subvert the United States into a socialist and tyrannical world government. Since most presidential candidates (both winners and losers) are either members of this elite group or have advisers who are, there is little […]

Contraception problem or behavior excuse?
Is the current fight about contraception a stratagem or a real issue? Is it more important for young women today to force insurance companies to pay for birth control? I was under the impression that Planned Parenthood was formulated for a commonsense approach to women’s rights. Isn’t 4NOW a no-cost program, along with other free […]

Collins sold us out to extreme right-wing
Susan Collins has finally shown her true colors. She made the shameful decision to vote to allow employers and insurance companies avoid paying for virtually any medical treatment or prescriptions by merely stating it is against their moral or religious beliefs. That means they could deny coverage for birth control, vaccinations or expensive cancer or […]
