Gary Dennis: We need some integrity in politics
I am a citizen of the U.S.A., product of hard-working blue collar folks, served four years in the military, worked and paid my way through life, and wish what is best for this arguably good nation (yea, lots of room for improvements). How did we get to the place where the only choice for the […]

Andrew Tasker: Are we finally ready to organize?
The founding fathers would be mortified at the condition of their/our country. Attacks on democracy by anti-immigrant Republican white backlash in the shape of xenophobia, Islamophobia, and the scapegoating and assaults on undocumented immigrants. However, undocumented immigrants contributed $5 trillion to the U.S. economy over the last 10 years. They paid $13 billion in Social […]

Mark Wood: Staggering statistics on abortion
Anyone who has a heart and a soul will agree that black lives matter. But the sad truth is that abortion rates in the United States are highest by ethnic grouping among African-Americans. Depending upon where one mines his data (Kaiser Family Foundation, CDC, Guttmacher Institute, Abort73, Arizona Capitol Times), African-Americans make up anywhere from […]

Bette J. Swett-Thibeault: John Nutting is the best candidate
I support the candidacy of John Nutting of Leeds for the Maine Legislature in 2020. John is a person of integrity, honesty, compassion. These are attributes that are sorely needed in politicians these days of unrest in politics. John has served in the Maine Legislature where, as a farmer himself, he served on the Agriculture […]

Douglas MacIsaac: Be wary of Sen. Collins
Be careful of what you approve. I like to think I’m an independent voter and have voted for Susan Collins in the past because I thought she had the welfare of this state in mind. Instead, she voted along party lines for the acquittal of a president who I believe is the ultimate white supremacist […]

Steven Reed: Time to take a stand for solutions
We will soon celebrate this nation’s birthday and it could be the very last. We are heading down a path our founders tried to avoid. All lives matter, not just Black. The leaders of this movement want armed members to take the law into their own hands to bring their form of justice. This could […]

Edward Walworth: We’ve lost sight of ‘indivisible’
The Fourth of July is approaching and with it will come many displays of the red, white and blue. Parades and public fireworks displays may be curtailed by COVID but, in one way or another, we will all take note of this national holiday. We will hear The Star Spangled Banner and can sing along. […]

Martin Keim: Let’s work together for our safety
I want citizens of Auburn and city leaders to please look at the science of wearing a face covering. It’s not a Democrat, Republican or independent issue. It’s science. There is no way you can stay six feet apart in the local box stores or food stores. All we have to do is wear them […]

Steve Bien: Time to replace Sen. Collins
John Bolton’s memoir confirms the worst of the impeachment charges about President Trump. The president routinely put his reelection strategizing and personal needs over our national security Trump’s behavior was a betrayal, a crass sellout of our national interests for his own ends. In turning her blind eye to his actions, Sen. Susan Collins betrayed […]

Cal Thomas: DC is already a ‘state’
The Founders specifically prohibited the District from becoming a state, but who listens to them anymore as rioters deface and pull down some of their statues and liberal judges rewrite the Constitution to conform to the spirit of the age?
