Letters to the Editor

Letter: Fix Electoral College

October 30, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

As we near the end of another presidential election, we are presented again with our unique and dangerous method of electing our president, the Electoral College. The Electoral College results do not represent the will of the people in many elections. Read story

Letter: Trump not fit for office

October 30, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I happened upon a Trump rally/town hall the other day and was appalled to hear him talking in detail about the size of several prominent men’s genitals. Is this really what we want to lead our country and showcase us to the rest of the world? Read story

Letter: Vote to protect Arctic refuge

October 30, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

With news breaking that state-owned Alaska corporation AIDEA approved up to $20 million for potential Arctic Refuge leasing bids, and The Washington Post publishing a sweeping article highlighting this breathtaking and ecologically vital landscape, now is the time to take notice. The Arctic is not only ground zero for climate… Read story

Letter: Wield ballot wisely

October 30, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

My ballot is my pledge to my country that I stand in awe of the fearsome power wielded by 330 million people of all races, religions, political leanings and genderless aspirations, that I will not betray that power for personal gain, for petty recriminations and for overt assaults on others,… Read story

Letter: Support McClintock in 18th District

October 30, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I will be voting for the reelection of State Rep. Stephanie McClintock. I have watched her leadership for years starting on the Battle Ground school board. I have volunteered with Stephanie over the years with our kids’ school and admire that she does what she says she is going to… Read story

Letter: Work to prevent suicides

October 30, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

What’s gone wrong? Over the last 20 years, suicide has gone up 40 percent and in Washington it is the second most common cause of death for children and young adults aged 10-24 like myself. I personally know of at least four suicides in my local school — people who… Read story

Letter: Get to know candidates

October 30, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

More people should be attending political events. Local politics have a big impact on local communities, so people should be more intrigued to go to political meetings. The race to become Washington’s 3rd Congressional representative between Joe Kent and Marie Perez is close. Most individuals get their news from online… Read story

Letter: Trump denigrates military

October 30, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

Our military veterans include the finest people America has to offer. After all, these are Americans who put their lives on the line for the rest of us, for our nation, our way of life. Read story

Letter: A possible explanation

October 30, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

It makes no sense. Despite being old and rambling, authoritarian, narcissist, etc., and a danger to our country and democracy, Mr. Trump may still get elected for the second time, again, running against a woman. Misogyny? Read story

Letter: Reject initiatives on ballot

October 29, 2024, 6:00am Letters to the Editor

I plan on voting “no” on Initiatives 2109, 2117, 2124 and 2106 and hope that other Clark County residents will do the same. By voting no on all four initiatives, we can make it known that we value our environment and want to take care of our loved ones. Read story
