Letters To The Editor

For these following current events, one can’t be anything but appalled by the state of affairs in America. It is embarrassing on almost every level of political, cultural & economic discourse. From President Trump cutting all federal funding for PBS and NPR and Congress yielding to these bully tactics, to Trump’s executive order laying off nearly all of Voice of America’s 1,300 journalists who speak to a worldwide audience on the virtues and successes of democracy. We created this exceptional program in 1942.

Tiffany Bloshenko, Fort Akinson
Hi. I’m one of your neighbors, the progressive kind. One you probably haven’t met because I don’t know many people here yet. But the ones I do know and love? They’re the kind of people I used to dream about having in my life. Kind. Decent. Accepting. The kind who show up, speak up, and try their best to make the world a little softer for someone else.

BEN ADAMS, Watertown
We’ve been here before, two years ago, as we struggled to pronounce Protosawicz, and elected her to rebalance the court. Subsequently, the Court has become more open to addressing women’s rights, gerrymandering and restoring the balance between the WI Executive and Legislative branches.

Linda L. Riedl, Jefferson
To Trump supporters – Why? Why do you support someone who is constantly calling people names? Why do you support a pathological liar? Why do you support a convicted felon? Why do you support someone who told someone of color to “go back to the country they are from?”

Mark VanLaeys, Delavan
Has our country’s moral fiber deteriorated to the point where overwhelming evidence of criminality and blatant immorality are no longer disqualifiers for potential political candidates?

Jim Marousis, Fort Atkinson
“Why should I go to that cemetery? It’s filled with losers.” Trump in 2018 when refusing to go to a French cemetery for fallen American soldiers. On John McCain, a Vietnam era war hero: “He’s not a war hero. He’s a war hero because he was captured. I like people that weren’t captured.”

John H. Callan, Fort Atkinson
As The New York Times put it, “For those Americans who are still tempted to return him to the presidency or to not vote in November, it is worth considering the assessment of Mr. Trump by those who have seen him up close.”

Ben Adams, Town of Watertown
The first key is a door key in the hand of incumbent Scott Fitzgerald. It is December 2020. The true electors were to meet that day with Governor Evers to certify that Joe Biden had won Wisconsin and the 10 electors met to formally sign papers and finalize the state’s result. But a set of fake electors, hoodwinked by lawyers and officials of the Trump campaign, were getting ready to meet as well.

Jane M. Fary and Daniel R. B. Fary, M.D., Fort Atkinson
As the presidential election rapidly approaches, we are becoming increasingly concerned by the support for Donald Trump and J.D. Vance. They refuse to admit the proven fact that Trump lost the last election, and they will not commit to peacefully accepting the results of the next election if they lose.

Robert White, Jefferson
Christians can be confusing. Recent polling shows that a majority of Catholics and evangelicals support Donald Trump for president. Yet Donald Trump seems to have nothing in common with the Jesus who Christians praise and pray to.
