    A poor excuse of a President

    This poor excuse for a president has given Congress many reasons to impeach him, but clearly they lack the fortitude to really fix the problem.

    Heck understands needfor cooperation

    Our federal government fails us today because our politicians don't respect and work well with members of the opposing party. Suspicion of outsiders may have kept our ancestors alive when we were living in small tribes in the wilderness, but it creates gridlock in our governments today.

    Expand access to treatment to aid addicts

    Based on my observations and knowledge with Suboxone, it needs to be easier to prescribe and easier for people to get from their physicians and clinics. There are many people who have stated that they would be clean if they could simply get a prescription of Suboxone; these people need to be helped.

    On gambling, the ends do not justify the means

    Oftentimes, a moral dilemma is debated in terms of the question "Do the ends justify the means?" Currently, Mainers are deliberating an issue that is exactly the opposite: "Do the means justify the ends?" While I am definitely a fan of jobs, and job creation is a worthy goal, it can't be a matter of jobs at any cost.

    Merger reasons should give pause for concern

    This is in response to Rep. Robert Nutting's, R-Oakland, (Maine Compass, Oct. 24) concern that Sprint is spreading false e-mails on the AT&T acquisition of T-Mobile. If Nutting doesn't think these jobs are at risk as a result of the merger than he does not understand corporate finance and strategy. It has nothing to do with Sprint and everything to do with fundamental reasons for any merger -- i.e. revenue growth and leverage.
