Democrats need to find someone better

Being a senior citizen as well as my husband’s caregiver, I don’t follow current events as closely as I once did. However, once in a while I see or hear something that grabs my attention, so I turn to my laptop to write down my thoughts before they disappear. Recently, I have been hearing the name of Kamala Harris as the possible Democratic presidential pick for 2028. I did vote for her in the last election, but I would have voted for anyone running against Trump. I realize it is early days, but if the Democrats have any hope at all of taking the presidency in 2028, they have got ...

Lower income are not doing better

Sen. Dave McCormick and Rep. John Joyce supported and voted for the Big Beautiful Bill. They should be ashamed of themselves. Millions of people in their districts can no longer afford health insurance as marketplace health coverage has been reduced by over $1 trillion. Millions of children, the elderly and disabled, and the poor now have to choose between buying food or medicine as billions of dollars have been cut from the SNAP program. Those benefits were shifted to corporations and tax cuts for the wealthiest households, and over $4 trillion was added to the national debt I do ...

Support Ward and Garrity

For the past 35 years, I have operated a small business and listened to Democratic candidates tell me that they want to “do more to help small business.” Most of us just want to pursue our dreams without the hindrance of well‐meaning progressives telling us what we need to “invest” our resources in. As was Evidenced by Gov. Josh Shapiro’s 500‐page rewrite of our public health regulations, allowing warrantless searches and eliminating the term “mother” from our health code, Democrats seem to have no limits to their thirst for control and power over the people who ...

McCoy believes in Constitution

I urge voters in the 79th District of Pennsylvania to vote for Caleb McCoy (D) on Nov. 3 to represent our community in the Pennsylvania House of Representatives. He believes in the United States Constitution and the rule of law. Caleb understands the plight of working families who struggle to make ends meet and will work to lower costs for families, make childcare more affordable, decrease utility bills, keep rural hospitals open, and create educational opportunities for high school graduates. Caleb McCoy will stand up for the people of our Commonwealth in matters of affordability ...

Garrity is the best choice for governor

We live in a culture that reduces complex issues to sound bites and memes, but Pennsylvania’s challenges demand real work. Stacy Garrity has a proven record of protecting Pennsylvanians and tackling tough issues with honesty and determination. She stands firm for what is best for our commonwealth, while our current governor shifts positions with the political winds. Garrity will continue defending our children and our elderly. She will work to make Pennsylvania a national leader in energy and economic growth. While the current administration faces accusations of fraud and abuse of ...

White House access and the press

In response to a recent letter of Sept. 29. The writer is correct that there is deep frustration with certain press coverage which is biased and disconnected from normal American life. I must remind him that during the Biden Administration they not only limited Biden talking to the press. Even Biden admitted at times when he would take an extra question or two that he would be in trouble for taking those questions. Also the administration gave Biden a list of who to call when taking questions. I also want to point out that the Biden administration gave a Philadelphia radio ...
