BECKERT: Media, Global Elite Undermine Democracy

Letter from Bruce Beckert Media, Global Elite Undermine Democracy A win in the house is a positive step, but we have a long road ahead to save this country from the global elites. We have been on a much longer road tearing this country down than most of us have realized and it’s going to take all of us that see what is going on, with God’s help, to save our country. God will help, but only through us. We…

HAWTHORN HILL: Forget the Beltway, Rethink Stale Assumptions, Consider Course Alterations

Hawthorn Hill by Richard DeRosa Forget the Beltway, Rethink Stale Assumptions, Consider Course Alterations My January 12 essay ended with these words: “Forget the Beltway.” Given the embarrassing shenanigans of the past few months, that sentiment still holds true. The fact that many years ago it took 133 votes to elect a speaker in no way negates the atrocity of it all. I used to excuse the political conundrums that we continually embroil ourselves in as just more evidence of…

PALKA: MAGA Republicans Bear Watching

Letter from Kathleen Palka MAGA Republicans Bear Watching Everyone should be concerned about the new House majority, which couldn’t even select a Speaker without historic chaos. The House of Representatives is now controlled by MAGA Republicans. According to “The Washington Post,” over 70 percent of House Republicans are election deniers, and they will use their power to enrich their corporate donors and advance their extreme agenda—including threatening our freedom to vote, criminalizing abortion, and cutting Social Security and Medicaid.…

STALLONE: Freedoms, Democracy Must Be Protected

Letter from Marie Stallone Freedoms, Democracy Must Be Protected Two years after the deadly attack on our country on January 6th, 2021, it’s hard to ignore that the House of Representatives is now controlled by those who embraced and fueled Trump’s Big Lie. According to “The Washington Post,” over 70 percent of all House Republicans are election deniers—135 incumbents voted against certifying the 2020 election and at least 27 freshman members ran on the Big Lie. They might hold the…

RICHARDSON-HENLEY: Far Right Agenda a Real Concern

Letter from Karen Richardson-Henley Far Right Agenda a Real Concern Everyone should be concerned about the new House majority, which can’t even select a Speaker without historic chaos.

CARMAN: Candidate’s Record Should Be Examined

Letter from Tracy Carman Candidate’s Record Should Be Examined Choosing who we want to represent our interests in Albany is about looking at the track record and asking who will do more for our area. In the 122nd Assembly District, the answer is clear. In Brian Miller’s six years in office, he has had only one bill passed and signed into law. More often than not, he voted AGAINST legislation that would help our district.…

BECKERT: Vote! Please Help Save Our Country

Letter from Bruce Beckert Vote! Please Help Save Our Country This election is like none other in our time. It will either cement the global elite’s plan for our country or start us back on a path that will ultimately save this country so our grandchildren can have a lifestyle of freedom and opportunity that we have been so blessed with. The Democrats have gotten used to swaying liberal Republicans, buying key elections with global elites’ dollars or just stealing…

DEWEY: Stefanik Does Not Put Upstate First

Letter from Jeanne Dewey Stefanik Does Not Put Upstate First I’m glad you’re highlighting political candidates and their positions on important issues. Having real information to base one’s vote on is key to making an informed decision at the ballot box. The problem is, candidates can say anything they want, whether it is true or false. I was interested to read Elise Stefanik’s description of her accomplishments, and was surprised at her statement that she “delivered over $500 million in…

HAMILL: Unity, Not Party, More Important

Letter from Andrew Hamill Unity, Not Party, More Important Last month, I put statements in All Otsego for our country to heed the call of unity as well as speaking to you all about it. I firmly stand by my statements. I speak on the week before Election Day by saying that regardless of who wins and who loses in this election and other elections, we need unity. If we are to have unity, we need to put our political…
