Pro-Life? Pro-Birth
Jim Marousis, Fort Atkinson
It seems to me that most people who call themselves pro-life are in reality only pro-birth. Ron Johnson. Once the child is born (even in cases where the health of the mother is threatened), they consider their job complete. Tim Michels.
Senator Johnson’s campaign stoops to fear-mongering and racist stereotypes
Lynn Armentrout, Lake Mills
Once again the Wisconsin Senate election is made toxic by dishonest negative attack ads financed by big-money flooding the airwaves and mailboxes. This time the target is Mandela Barnes.
What would you, candidate, do for us?
Patricia Giese, Johnson Creek
I am dismayed by all the political noise of those television ads leading up to the mid-term elections this Fall. So much of what we are hearing is simply lies. I miss the “Fairness Doctrine”, abolished by Reagan, which required parties to speak the truth and present both sides of the story.
I fear for the life of truth
Richard Broach, Delavan
The looming midterm elections fill me with dread. Dread means a fear that something bad is about to happen. When 120 Republican candidates for public office across the nation publicly and outrightly support the claim that the 2020 election was stolen despite official government investigations and 61 court cases that proved the contrary, I fear for the life of truth as a value and a virtue.
Our actions determine our future
Leigh Barker Cheesebro, Helenville
When you vote on Nov. 8, or before, picture the community, state and country you want for your grandchildren.
Stop obscene political signs
Larry Clausius, Jefferson
I am a resident of the City of Jefferson. I would like to express my sincere concern over the obscene political sign in front of a home on Main Street in Jefferson.
Support Local Election Workers!
Jill Kessenich, Fort Atkinson
It takes more than a million people working the polls to make American elections run smoothly. Between retirements and concerns about COVID, tens of thousands of poll workers have left the job over the past several election cycles.
Evers will continue to lift up our schools
Diane King, Fort Atkinson
Tim Michels only understands investing when it benefits him. Please vote for Governor Evers. He will continue to lift up our schools, rather than tear them down.
Do You Believe This?
Jim Marousis, Fort Atkinson
Tim Michels still questions the results of the 2020 election in Wisconsin, even after Trump’s lawyers filed 61 lawsuits nationwide, winning only one.
Don Vruwink for Assembly in the 33rd district
Margaret Krolikowski, Jefferson
Don has served three terms in the Assembly from the 43rd district. Recent redistricting now has him in the 33rd district. Don has canvassed the City of Jefferson this past summer in an effort to get to know his new constituents, I appreciate the effort.
