Last month, Congress voted on a resolution that stated a carbon tax would be detrimental to the economy. The resolution was supported by nearly all House Republicans. A carbon tax would raise gas and electricity costs for all consumers and have little environmental impact. I applaud Rep. Bruce Poliquin for opposing a carbon tax and […]

He is a proven legislator who works with both sides of the aisle and has been experienced, accomplished and effective in protecting Maine’s environment.

Say 'no' to nominee Kavanaugh
I have concerns regarding Judge Brett Kavanaugh’s stance on Roe v. Wade. In interviews, he says he will not overturn settled law, but actions speak louder than words. Recently, Kavanaugh wrote an opinion in which he took the position that delayed a decision on an immigrant teen’s abortion until she had a sponsor. Health care […]

Contributions to humankind
The greatest contributions to humankind have always come from the poorest among us. Jesus, Socrates, Mozart, Beethoven, Lincoln, Gandhi all came from among the poor. If Jesus climbed down from his cross and asked Judge Brett Kavanaugh to uphold the Affordable Care Act — so Jesus could get a nurse to look at his hands […]

Democrats are more derisive
I watched the opening day of the hearing for Supreme Court nominee Brett Kavanaugh; it was a joke. The people and Senators (who were Democrats and who had already said they would not vote for Judge Kavanaugh) acted like idiots. That Kavanaugh’s daughters had to be taken out of the room for a while, returning […]

Collins should withhold support
Sen. Susan Collins knows that the way things are going now is not how the nation’s founders meant the system to work. The Supreme Court is simply too important to allow one party to stack it with partisan judges for decades. According to a recent ABC/Washington Post poll (Sept. 4), the American public is evenly […]

No figuring out Democrats
What? On one side of their mouths, liberal leftists are all concerned about possible Russian interference in America’s elections; yet, on the other side of their mouths, they want to allow non-citizens to vote in elections. Go figure. Joan Villani, Lewiston

Kavanaugh a threat to health care
As a member of the future generation of this great nation, I believe that the confirmation of Brett Kavanaugh would pose a threat to affordable health care and many other issues that Mainers face in everyday life. People cannot continue to be silent. The confirmation of Kavanaugh could be a danger for many constitutional rights. […]

Catholic Church needs to change
As a Catholic parishioner, in the light of the continuing sexual problems of priests in our Catholic Church, I submit, respectfully, that I think it is time for change in the church. I think it is time for male domination to end. I think it is time that women gain respect and equality as human […]

Support for universal home care
My family has worked for a long time caring for each other at home. My husband and our children carry a serious genetic disorder, Marfans Syndrome, which means that our lives have been filled with surgeries to help us function; pain is a daily reality. We have dealt with other disabling conditions as well. Despite […]
