In a letter to the editor (July 20), Fern Bossie claims that Mike Michaud “cannot be trusted” because he has changed his mind about abortion and same-sex marriage. His point being Michaud will do the same about gun rights, and Michaud’s friendship with former Congresswoman Gabrielle Giffords and her husband, Mike Kelly, is evidence. Change […]

N. Willard: The wrong target for blame
It is difficult to imagine the agony and deep sorrow that parents must feel if they are forced by horrible circumstances in their homeland to contemplate sending their child or children away alone to a new country. Our anger should not be against the undocumented immigrants (I dislike using the term “illegal”). As citizens of […]

N. Willard: Supports the issues I care about
Primary elections will happen soon (June 10). I hope people will take the time to vote. Sometimes it is difficult to decide who to vote for within a single party, as both candidates follow an individual’s values and principles. I will be voting for Emily Cain to be the Democratic candidate for District II. She […]

N. Willard: The way I see it
I give thumbs up to: — My hairdresser has health insurance for the first time. She has an appointment to see a doctor for a physical. — Earth Day is April 22. I share a native American chant: The Earth is our mother. We must take care of her. The Earth is our mother. She […]

N. Willard: A few things to wonder about
I think future historians will have positive things to say about Obama’s eight years as president. I doubt the “tea party” and George W. Bush fare as well. I wonder how those who say climate change is not a real and serious threat to our planet can look their children and or grandchildren in the […]

N. Bourgoin: Information based on facts
In response to Nancy Willard’s letter (Feb. 7), who found letters about President Obama and liberals disturbing and depressing, the information listed in my letter (Feb. 2) was based on facts which were not misinterpreted, nor could they be denied. Facts are what rationality and reason are based on. I fully agree that people in […]

N. Willard: Irrational expressions of hatred
The latest letters to the Sun Journal from the anti-Obama, anti-liberal people are disturbing and depressing. I see an irrational expression of hatred for the president and Democrats and a misinterpretation of the facts. For example: “Liberals, along with the president, are changing moralism into socialism and paganism.” (Neil Bourgoin, Feb. 2) In a free […]

N. Willard: Let me just say …
A couple of issues are on my mind as 2013 comes to a close. The LePage administration demonstrates what I recall my parents referring to as being “penny wise and pound foolish.” DHHS Commissioner Mary Mayhew spent close to a million dollars of taxpayer money to hire someone from Rhode Island to study the welfare […]

N. Willard: Obama not the dangerous man
It is a sad state of affairs when someone like Marcel Morin believes that the president is “A dangerous man” (Sun Journal, Oct. 28). I am afraid he has been listening to the Republican attack machine and their smear campaign against the Affordable Care Act and all the other Obama endeavors to improve people’s situations. […]

N. Willard: Still much to be done
I was appalled by Rich Lowry’s column, “Civil-rights movement in disgrace” (Sept. 2). According to him, all the problems of being black in America are solved; blacks now exist on imagined slights, etc. By contrast, Leonard Pitts Jr., a black man, in his column Sept. 1 titled “Where do we go from here? We go […]
