Action needed from Sen. Collins, not words | Letter
I understand the motivation behind the postcard campaign, but I think it’s long past time for “Susan Collins to declare her conscience” (Opinion, May 27). I’m sure I’m not alone in having contacted Sen. Collins with that message years ago, to no avail. Since Republican Sen. Lisa Murkowski has confessed that “We are all afraid […]

Column failed to distinguish political and unconstitutional | Letter
I was more than disappointed by Steve Collins’ appraisal of Sen. Susan Collins’ actions/inactions during the Trump era (“Like it or not, Susan Collins and Jared Golden have Mainers’ respect,” May 31). He has confused her oath to uphold the U.S. Constitution and civic duty with mere politics. There is no “middle ground” in deciding […]

America needs to move past the immaturity | Letter
I miss teaching middle schoolers. They arrived with useful future ideas. They also arrived with cliches and an openness to finding a bosom buddy; meanness and unchecked kindness; sloppy habits and meticulous order; cheating and almost severe honesty; and cruel, dismissive name calling. I once walked into class as they were making fun of a […]

Susan Collins should reject reckless bill | Letter
I served this country because I believe in protecting people’s rights and freedoms — not taking them away.

That bill hands out massive […]

America will survive this attack on its ideals | Letter
The author of a recent op-ed in these pages is struggling to teach her students about our country’s ideals (Opinion, June 1). The framework of our government is being challenged and, Tracy Fragale Henderson fears, is crumbling because of a onslaught by the executive branch. At other times in this country’s history, we engaged in […]

Where is Susan Collins’ ‘Declaration of Conscience’? | Letter
Thank you for the the June 1 Maine Sunday Telegram article about Margaret Chase Smith’s legacy: her “Declaration of Conscience.” I’ve read that Sen. Susan Collins looked up to Smith. I’m asking Collins to look into her heart and find her own “Declaration of Conscience.” Smith took a risk and stuck to her principles. I […]

Fund Maine’s schools and support its future | Letter
In the pages of this newspaper, I read with dismay of school budgets rejected and of schools closed — budget after budget, school after school. What is this madness, that sweeps our state with the scythe of destruction? Our schools are: • Support systems and safety nets for parents, families and future heads of families. […]
