    AARP keeps Maine members informed | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    As someone who has spent years working in civic engagement, I have seen firsthand what happens when people understand the power of their voice and use it. In Maine, voters 50 and older are a powerful part of that voice. In the 2024 general election, they made up more than 59% of all voters in our state. That matters, not simply because of the size of this voting bloc, but because older Mainers consistently show up and participate in our democracy. The issues important to older voters are also is

    It’s time for Mainers to put country first | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Many old-time Mainers, from all political parties, say they support Sen. Susan Collins because she brings money back to the state as chair of the Senate Appropriations Committee. There is also a certain nostalgia many Mainers feel. “She’s done well for us in the past” and “she’s independent.” In truth, Collins has cost us more by following Donald Trump’s policies. Collins has voted with Trump 95% of the time, resulting in extreme financial pain for most Mainers as well as Americans across the co

    Let’s not replay the tragedy of life without vaccinations | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    I want to share how my family has been affected by vaccines. First, comic relief: when our baby began receiving the recommended shots, I was pleased but mystified by her reaction: she simply smiled at the nurse. Weren’t babies supposed to yell? Each time we returned to the medical office for follow-up vaccines, I witnessed happy interactions between my baby and the nurses. Was our kid normal, I wondered? Finally, a few years later, our child — then a toddler — loudly conveyed her opinion about t

    Worried about the tenor of Troy Jackson’s campaign | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Why is the Maine Democratic Party allowing the Troy Jackson campaign to sink? Why are Jackson and the party succumbing to external pressure, reversing Jackson’s position on the Palestinian question (it is genocide in Gaza) and on universal healthcare? Polls have shown support for Palestine and universal healthcare are popular among voters. Where is the passion, reason, commitment of the Troy Jackson of two months ago? Why has he been muzzled? Why is he standing down from issues Mainers care abou

    It’s not about the quantity of Collins’ votes, it’s about the quality | Letter (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    It is an undeniable fact that, in our nation’s history, the current administration has the least qualified and most incompetent cabinet members heading our important agencies. While Sen. Susan Collins frequently cites her record of never missing a vote in the Senate, it is the merit of those votes that matters. If readers followed the Maine Sunday Telegram’s column on how our legislators voted in the prior week, they may recall that she votes for Trump’s right-wing judge nominees. If they check
