This ground may have already been covered. I am an older vet, who was honorably discharged from the army. In looking at Graham Platner’s public information about his military service, I think it would be helpful for him to release his Army National Guard DD-214 showing his character of service. Also, if he is receiving […]

Douglas Rooks’ optimism provides hope | Letter
Thursday columnist Douglas Rooks has been around the political scene for a long time and has “seen it all.” That is why his optimistic view provides hope (“Furious gerrymandering can still be overcome,” June 18) — even for those of us living in Ohio, where Republicans have successfully made gerrymandering a part of our political […]

Not in Maine? Stay out of our politics. | Letter

Perkins, in her work with New York Mayor Al Smith and later as Franklin Roosevelt’s chief lieutenant, […]

A strong Department of Education is essential to protecting the rights […]

Platner’s tattoo is a problem, but not Hegseth’s? | Letter
Republicans and others are disgusted by Graham Platner’s tattoo. If tattoos are so important, maybe those same people should take a serious look at Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s. Hegseth has tattooed on his chest the Jerusalem Cross. Alt-right and white supremacist groups have adopted symbolism associated with the Crusades. That includes the Jerusalem Cross […]

Platner represents a potential turning point for America | Letter
I am writing to say that I am very pleased that Graham Platner will be running for the U.S. Senate in Maine. I want him to win. I support what I believe he stands for: tax reform so that the wealthy pay their fair share, universal health care and taking big money out of our […]
