In Joe Voisine’s letter published July 8 (“America does not need more government“), he concludes that the ’50s and ’60s in America were more normal than today. My following thoughts agree with him. An often-used word is respect. Yesteryear, yes, adults were respected by young people and authority figures were respected by adults, and anyone […]

I feel that we really have to be very careful who we vote for in 2024. We are going on a very destructive course in America and all over the world. We need a very good and capable leader. I feel that President Biden is a very good man, but too old for 2024. I […]

I am writing to convey my support for the reelection of Carl Sheline as mayor of Lewiston. Since being elected, Carl has shown a deep commitment to the city of Lewiston. He works tirelessly in hopes of making our city a better place to live and work. As a small business owner, I feel that […]

I write regarding the photo in the Sun Journal July 19, titled “Paying his way.” I drove past this scene Monday afternoon and witnessed it myself. Although I applaud the entrepreneurial spirit of this young lad, I would caution his PR/advertising partner regarding standing in the roadway holding the sign. This is a heavily traveled […]

California, Colorado, Oregon, New Jersey, Rhode Island and Washington State require schools teach about LGBTQ as part of sex education classes. They’re forcing society to accept a lifestyle many Americans — not just Christians — disapprove of. Ohio, New Jersey, New Hampshire, Wisconsin, Minnesota, Missouri, Arkansas, Iowa, Nebraska and South Dakota are weakening “The Fair […]

I first met Carl Sheline at a monthly nature walk for members and allies of the LGBTQ community, shortly after I moved to Lewiston last fall. We talked at length; he seemed genuinely interested to get to know me. Only later did another attendee tell me he was the mayor. Since then, I’ve seen Carl […]

I thank the Sun Journal for the three articles in the July 16 Perspective section relating to the continuing mass shootings of citizens in the nation. (“Is a nation where bullets fly at schools, parties, parades really free?“) In our American Constitution’s Second Amendment: “A well regulated militia, being necessary to the security of a […]

I keep reading how Donald Trump is the leading candidate for the 2024 Republican presidential race. I find this unbelievable. Trump’s actions and lies about the 2020 election that he lost, which resulted in the insurrection on Jan. 6, 2021, should have been enough to disqualify him from any further consideration. I can only assume […]

I am not surprised that someone attached to Central Maine Power would come out against Pine Tree Power (“Kurt Pullman: The squeaky wheel gets the grease: Thoughts on why government-controlled power is wrong for Maine, July 16). After all, like politicians, the column’s author has his own financial gain attached to this issue. Sorry, but […]

I usually glance quickly at what Rich Lowry writes every day as he tends to lean on the right. However, his article on minor league baseball and specifically the Portland Sea Dogs was refreshing, light and enjoyable. (“The joy of minor league baseball,” July 13) It was an honest accurate description of Portland and Maine […]
