Letters to the Editor

America engaging in wars of choice

DEAR EDITOR: As the “king of peace” contemplates war on Iran, Cuba, Colombia and who knows where else, he may want to consider hard-learned lessons from past wars; despite an unpopular government, a nation’s citizens will unite furiously against foreign troops on their soil. The bravery of the Ukrainians is a perfect example, and it shames us for having abandoned them. The United States failed to appreciate the history and will of the Vietnamese people when it sought to save them from communism. All of our high-tech weapons could not overcome their desire for independence. ...

It’s time for Americans to come together

DEAR EDITOR: To all the Trump haters and supporters, it is clear we must come together and work out a plan for survival. Just one positive and completed benefit for everyday Americans would be a start. We must stop all this hate, chaos and destruction and come together to prove that we have a reason to celebrate 250 years of [our country’s] survival. DONNA NASSER Sharon, Pa.

Hello, Washington … is anyone there?

DEAR EDITOR: Do our leaders remember us, “We the People”? Or are they too busy fighting and acting like children? Except for the ones honored and remembered, the State of the Union was a clown show, and our president was the chief clown. Whatever happened to civil discourse and respect? Will class and dignity ever return to the White House? All the time and energy being used for arguing and fighting can be put to better use in governing. Maybe then we could improve health care, reduce inflation, bring down the cost of prescription drugs, improve our infrastructure and so ...

Elections plagued by economic problems

DEAR EDITOR: Election interference by establishment elites is rampant in both political parties. To think that our local elections are immune is delusional. The May Primary races within Mahoning and Columbiana counties such as the 7th District Court of Appeals, the Ohio Secretary of State race and others have seen measurable questionably nefarious actions taken. Publicly conveyed, a State Central Committee member who is up for election in May apparently contacted candidate for Secretary of State, Marcell Strbich, allegedly offering a political job interview if he withdrew from the ...

Sound off! March 7-8

To the writer from Poland who wrote about the economic gain from the income tax refund I have a question. What has President Trump did that is against the Constitution? And what democratic norms are you talking about ? The things Joe Biden did like tapping people’s phone? I wrote the letter to highlight the Democrats hypocrisy. If you think President Trump does everything wrong, then the extra refund should be wrong in your eyes. Again, you’re a hypocrite if you keep the extra refund! — Hubbard In today’s Vindicator I read where our illustrious congressman Rulli wants to ...

Bringing a voice to those suffering from MS

DEAR EDITOR: In 2006, I was diagnosed with Multiple Sclerosis (MS). When diagnosed, I did not know what MS was. Others, along with myself, experience the various challenges of MS, and no two people experience the same effects. No one has chosen to live with MS; it has chosen us. There are things known and things unknown regarding MS. Every hour, someone is diagnosed with MS, a chronic disease of the central nervous system for which there is no cure. MS interrupts the flow of information between the brain and the body. A few of the impacts of someone with MS could be one or more of ...
