Within weeks of launching the new 501(c)(4) “Maine Momentum” and its subsidiary, the 16 Counties Coalition, attacks on Sen. Susan Collins have begun. Supposedly an “educational campaign” (which is legally prohibited from endorsing or opposing a political candidate), Maine Momentum is a thinly-veiled cover being used by Democrats to attack Sen. Collins. In a guest […]

Well, I have finally seen the light. I want to thank President Trump for showing me the way and making me realize my faulty thinking. Throughout my life, I have always considered myself to be an American and was proud to say so. How wrong I was. As a veteran, I always had a job, […]

To say that all Democrats are socialists is as wrong as saying all Republicans are racists. To say all racists, anti-semites and bigots support President Donald Trump and Republicans is more correct. Trump has shown his racists tendencies from his comments about Mexicans while announcing his candidacy; comments about the white supremacists in Charlottesville; saying […]

As a government founded and based on Christian values, socialist values are a slap in the face to an almighty and sovereign God. Left-wing liberalism is its own worst enemy. This country may have various so-called religions and they, too, will have their just rewards. I can see why Jesus wept. It is heartbreaking that […]

As a member of the Committee on Health Coverage, Insurance and Financial Services, I understand the challenges Maine faces in providing quality care at affordable costs. Surprise medical billing — when a patient receives out-of-network care and is later hit with excessive bills for the costs not covered by their insurance — is a problem […]

It’s disappointing that Paul Liebow spread such demonstrable falsehoods in his recent letter to the editor (July 21) distorting Sen. Susan Collins’ record. In reality, Sen. Collins has been a steadfast champion of defending individuals with pre-existing conditions such as diabetes, cystic fibrosis, asthma, cancer, arthritis and heart disease. In 2017, she was one of […]

On July 4, the contrasts between decency and bigotry could not have been more pronounced. In Portland, city residents hosted a barbecue for asylum seekers who were bused to Portland from the southern border after arriving in this country, seeking a better life fleeing violence and poverty. Prior to the fireworks, the asylum seekers were […]

I write in response to John Davis (letter, July 17). Colin Kaepernick and Megan Rapinoe are standing on solid, patriotic, American footing. The U.S. Supreme Court ruled it is unconstitutional to make someone participate in patriotic activities. The court said forcing anyone to salute the flag and pledge allegiance invades the “sphere of intellect and […]

Janet Mills has the correct position on the proposed Central Maine Power transmission line. The pluses far outweigh the negatives of the project. The 53 miles of new power lines and their rights of way, placed through predominantly cut-over forest, are not going to cause significant damage to wildlife or tourism. Maine’s wildlife has been […]

This is in response to the Washington Post article printed in the Sun Journal July 13, “EPA to allow use of pesticide considered ‘very highly toxic’ to bees.” Why kill bees? They are vital to pollinate the nation’s fruits, vegetables, flowers and so many other things. Without bees, we will lose many of our food […]
