Letters to the Editor

Election’s lingering effects

To the editor: Evidence of widespread election fraud, according to the mainstream media, hasn’t been found. Really? On election night and the three days following I witnessed, just watching [on television] what happened at Philadelphia’s and Detroit’s election headquarters, enough fraud to totally reverse the results of their tallies.

In appreciation of community support

To the editor: 2020 was Houlton’s first-ever 40 Days for Life Fall campaign, part of the 588 cities in 63 countries worldwide.

Not in Maine. Please, not in Maine.

We Mainers are, if anything, great cheerleaders for the underdog. We root for the one who comes from behind, who defies all odds to achieve, to survive, to triumph.

Let’s get back to business

To the editor: I greatly appreciated the letters last week from Chris Martin and Judy Dinsmore. How wonderful to view the "other side" for a "fair and balanced" story.

Collins deserves our support

To the editor: As a small business owner and fellow County girl, I am incredibly proud to be represented by Senator Susan Collins in Washington.

Harnish will work for us

To the editor: I am so pleased to vote for Kathryn Harnish to represent District 144 in Augusta.

Let’s get back to the business at hand

To the editor: I’ve been reading all the bashing in the letters to the editor about Doug Morrell, from those who want him recalled. I read these letters and shake my head as to the importance some of you put on Mr. Morrell saying slang words or comments like “heads will roll.”

Fallout could cost money

To the editor: After reading Councilor Theriault's letter in last week’s paper, I had to ask myself a couple of questions.

Supports Harnish for House District 144

To the Editor, I am so pleased to vote for Kathryn Harnish to represent House District 144 in Augusta

Maine deserves a leader, not a bystander

Coronavirus has undoubtedly posed a new and unprecedented set of circumstances for Mainers. Fortunately the Paycheck Protection Program -- authored by our very own Sen. Susan Collins -- helped small businesses and countless Maine workers get through the worst of the economic shutdown last spring.

Ranked choice on the ballot

To the editor: [At the] last go-round, Republicans were royally cheated out of our first choice of Bruce Poliquin by this diabolical system the Democrats hoisted on us called ranked-choice voting.

End the insanity

To the editor: Let’s clear up what a petition for recall is. The petition, first and foremost, does not remove a sitting councilor from the dais. 1,200 signatures of qualified Caribou electors is what it takes to get the recall on the ballot.

Playing sandbox politics

To the editor: I was totally disgusted with Joan Theriault’s letter to the editor this week. Sadly, I agree with other people that it is past time for Theriault to resign from the city council and only play these sandbox politics in her own back yard.

In support of Harnish

To the editor: I’ve always considered it my unwritten rule to never involve myself in politics. Now it appears that I’ve broken my own rule, and with pleasure.

Collins gets my vote

To the editor: Through Senator Collins’ leadership Maine veterans have gained a powerful voice in Washington, ensuring we have a strong advocate for veterans’ issues. Now more than ever we need Susan’s continued leadership. As a veteran from Caribou, I am proud to say that Susan is my senator.

In support of Bushey

To the editor: After having served in the Maine House of Representatives, I am pleased to put my support behind Ashland native Kevin Bushey for District 151. He has the tenacity and levelheadedness to bear down and face the significant challenges that will be before the 130th Maine State Legislature.

Where is that 1 mil decrease hiding?

To the editor: Don’t blame the new councilors next year for the tax increase you’re going to get. They will just be trying to clean up the mess from a few that are there now.

Vote for integrity

To the editor: More vulgar postings by Councilor Doug Morrell bashing the Public Works Department and others have appeared on Facebook lately. What is wrong with this picture?
