I am in total agreement with Robert Thompson’s letter to the editor (Sept. 13). I have noticed a definite change in bias since the acquisition by Reade Brower. I can no longer count on the newspaper to provide a balanced point of view. That bias threatens the country and threatens my continued purchase of the […]
Letters
Letters to the editor of the Sun Journal.
Cloutier is needed in Augusta
It is with great pleasure that I write this in support of Kristen Cloutier’s candidacy to represent the voters in House District 60. I have known Cloutier both personally and professionally for almost 20 years. I first met her when she moved back to her home town from New York City. From the day she […]
Wrong to publish arrests
I can’t believe the Sun Journal chose to publish an article and post the pictures of several men caught trying to engage a prostitute. Yes, they did something wrong, but I don’t think the whole world, let alone the town they live in, needs to know. The crime of engaging a prostitute is not like […]
Claxton the most qualified candidate
I write to lend my strong support to Ned Claxton, who is running for Senate District 20. I have known Claxton off and on through the years, first playing recreational basketball with him and later I got to know him as a physician. I have always been impressed by his decency and common sense. I […]
Keim is my choice for Maine Senate
I find myself depressed by the relentless partisan politics raging around me. It is wearisome navigating the unacceptable and unconstitutional maelstrom tearing through the news and watching as politics reduces itself to a toxic boiling mess, poisoning everything. Thankfully, I find I am not the only individual who still feels that the ends do not […]
Pressure on Sen. Collins
Sen. Susan Collins appears to be leaning toward approval of Brett Kavanaugh as a Supreme Court justice. I wonder about Collin’s vote on that and also her vote on that unthinkable national budget that President Trump provided. Trump and Collins had a private meeting and, suddenly, Collins decided to vote for his budget. I can […]
Support for Kristen Cloutier
I have the pleasure of serving alongside Kristen Cloutier on the Sophia’s House Steering Committee — a group dedicated to creating a healing place that supports and empowers women who have survived addiction, trafficking and incarceration. Cloutier’s strong call to lift up the vulnerable in this community shows through her work in that setting. Her […]
Lisa Keim has my support
This year, on Nov. 6, western Maine voters will have the opportunity to re-elect a hard-working, life-long Mainer who has worked very hard for the past two years for the people of the 18th Senate district. Lisa Keim has an independent, common-sense approach to dealing with the challenges facing people here in western Maine. Among […]
Writer's views were offensive
This is only the second time I have ever written a letter to the editor of the Sun Journal, but I just can’t take Steve Turner’s outlook on what Jesus would do if he came down from the cross (letter, Sept. 8). I find his “Jesus” views offensive to the current medical care that is […]
Golden a better candidate
I agree completely with the letter from Joseph Glass (Sept. 9). Jared Golden is a far better candidate than Bruce Poliquin. Beverly Peterson, Auburn
