  • Letter: English should be official language

    I have to applaud Bruce Miller on his recent article regarding assimilation and learning English for immigrants coming to America.
    I was born and raised in eastern Pennsylvania, where my father, grandfathers and many uncles worked in the anthracite coal mines. Their co-workers came from Central and Eastern Europe and spoke the native tongues of their respective countries. However, to work in the dangerous mines, they had to learn English to understand their assignments and directions, as well as for their safety and the safety of their co-workers.

  • Letter: Holt’s ouster shows council’s bias

    Once again, the Lancaster County Council has displayed its bias against Indian Land by singling out District 7 Planning Commission member Jerry Holt and declining to reappoint him to the commission.

  • Letter: Stay off Twitter, act like president

    I am writing in response to Charles A. Bundy’s column in last Friday’s paper, headlined “Negativism, resistance to president must end so we can solve problems.”
    President Trump is the main one who keeps putting fuel to the fire. He needs to stay off Twitter and act like the president of the United States of America.
    When President Obama was in office, he took a lot of negative comments from Republicans and from Mr. Trump. The difference is that President Obama took it like a true president and worked for the good of all men.

  • Letter: Candidate David Kulma needed to get his Medicare facts straight

    In his comments about health care at the NAACP forum (reported before the congressional election), Green Party candidate David Kulma said “that he was a big advocate for ‘Medicare For All’ universal health care.”
    He said that means “we would all get a Medicare card and this means you wouldn’t pay any premiums, you wouldn’t pay co-pays, you wouldn’t pay doctors. Your health care would be covered with medically necessary things. So dental, emergency services, most of the things you could think would be covered.”

  • Letter: Thanks for help with Citadel House

    Because I take pride in my community and value those who serve in it, I would like to take a moment to thank a few organizations and individuals.
    I want to thank the J. Marion Sims Foundation for supporting the Citadel House. Also thanks to the chamber of commerce, the United Way, The Lancaster News and the many individuals who came out to our open house ribbon cutting on June 21.
    I am so grateful to you all for all you have done to support this new 90-day supportive-service homeless shelter here in Lancaster.

  • Letter: Don’t blame Democrats for Trump’s slow start and media response

    This is a response to Charles A. Bundy’s column in Friday’s Lancaster News, headlined “Negativism, resistance to president must end so we can solve problems.”
    The Republicans have majorities in both houses of Congress, so they can pass any legislation they want. But the writer states that “Democrats, supported by an unhappy and embarrassed media, have thrown up every conceivable stumbling block to the orderly formation of a new government.”

  • Letter: Small-business lobby supports Senate healthcare proposal

    Obamacare has been burdensome for small business. This week, the Senate has a chance to do something about it.
    Year after year, when the National Federation of Independent Business surveys its members, they say their No. 1 priority is health care, but the Affordable Care Act, better known as Obamacare, has made things more difficult for them. Its onerous taxes and mandates have increased costs and reduced choices.

  • Letter: GOP should protect Trump when Democrats attack him

    Democrats are in a near electoral collapse across the country.
    Republicans control both chambers of Congress and the White House. They have control of 33 governorships and 69 out of 99 state legislative chambers. (Nebraska has only one.) In the past eight years, Democrats have lost almost 1,000 elective seats nationally.

  • Letter: President sides with his voters, and that’s a good thing

    The world and social media are on fire because President Trump stopped our participation in the Paris climate pact. Who would have thought an American president would have actually sided with the people who elected him?
    He stood for us and not some globalist big shot or Hollywood star or the news media or even big business moguls who were set to make money at the people’s expense of lost jobs.
