Reading the article about Maine having another deadly year for pedestrians (“Maine on track for another deadly year for pedestrians,” Dec. 15), I was dismayed that although the author mentioned that drivers must be more vigilant, there was nothing about pedestrians doing so. I believe that it really needs to be stressed that people need […]

The COVID situation in America seems to be getting worse instead of better, mainly because of anti-vaxxers. Hospitals are overflowing, but these people stubbornly refuse to get vaccinated, saying, “my body, my choice.” They don’t care if thousands of people all over the country are dying because of their choice not to get the lifesaving […]

I was very disturbed to read in the Sun Journal that the Catholic church is requesting donations for its retired or retiring religious members (“Catholic churches to hold collection to benefit retirement fund,” Dec. 11). The church has proven once again that it is not a charitable Christian organization but simply “big business.” The church, […]

I want to express thanks to Dr. Nirav Shah, Gov. Janet Mills, and Department of Health and Human Services Commissioner Jeanne Lambrew.You can’t please all of the people all of the time. You can, however, make decisions and take actions in the best interest of people in general — actions that have positive results. Dr. […]

I am so pleased to learn that Peggy Rotundo will run for the Maine Senate. Every elected official does what is right for her or his district. Where Peggy shines is her ability to not only help her district but to think in terms of what is best for all Mainers. She is a consensus […]

Susan Collins and every fellow U.S. Senate Republican voted to “defund” the vaccine mandate on businesses, the military and the federal workforce.

Their reasoning goes something like this: […]

Right-wing radicals wan to ban the discussion of the history of racism in the United States, and in some cases offering bounties to citizens who report teachers defying such edicts. Are they denying that the Civil War — a conflict mainly centered on the merits or lack thereof of slavery being legal or outlawed — […]

A child born this year will be 79 when we enter the next century — assuming he or she survives pandemics, wars, social upheaval, and the enormous disruption that climate change has already started to bring. Will that child have access to adequate food and shelter if sea levels continue to rise, if torrential rainstorms […]

I ask, what is happening to our country? To answer that question, people should consider reading a book, “The Naked Communist,” written by W. Cleon Skousen 1958. This book lists the history and long-term goals of Marxism in our country, and the 45 steps for achieving Communism in the United States. It was written over […]

I would like to respond to the announcement in the Nov. 18 Sun Journal concerning Peggy Rotundo running for election again. We keep saying it’s time for change, and yet we continue to reelect the same people to represent us, people who have spent years and years in office, and nothing ever changes. It’s the […]
