Unhealthy debate

Dear Editor, The Warren Times Observer carried a front page story about “Dr.” Oz “taking on a sharper tone” in attacking the health of John Fetterman (Aug. 24). Since when is attacking anyone’s health considered proper in a political campaign, or any other time for that matter? A serious candidate for office can find plenty of other things to talk about — their own previous experience and professional successes in contrast the the experience and professional achievement of the opponent. Comments on health should be out of bounds, but were made acceptable when the ...

Overreach continues

Dear Editor, Considering the narratives around the polar opposite views of the 2020 election and with the 2022 midterms in view I have come to a rather disheartening conclusion. If the election was indeed stolen, then the Democrats won a coup, and we are now experiencing the end of Constitutional freedoms and suppression of political dissent and opposition.

I would like to hold out a shred of hope ...

Readers Speak

Scary lessons Dear Editor, Many thanks to Josh Cotton for his timely article on the 77th anniversary of the atomic booming of Hiroshima.

Luck can change. We the people need a grassroots groundswell of ...

Vote for values

The solution to the chaos we see is that each voter take the time to know the issues and how to determine what is seen as the desired outcome. We have many choices as citizens: ¯ If you like open borders with death and destruction reining its ugly head in our country, abortion-even as late as birth, inflation, high gas prices at the pump and in the home, weakened military, rampant corruption in the high offices, police polarized and ...

Choices with life

Dear Editor, In the July 29 issue of the Times Observer, columnist Star Parker incitingly discusses the comparison of the Lincoln-Douglas debate of 1854 to the present discussion of abortion rights. She writes “Is our ultimate value that a woman have the option to destroy her unborn child, or is our ultimate value sanctity of life.” May I suggest that the more important choice is omitted; that the woman’s right to conceive an unwanted child be considered. How many abortions result from promiscuity and questionable relationships? Charles S. Merroth, Warren

Troubling trip

Dear Editor, What’s the reason for Nancy Pelosi going to Taiwan? To aggravate China even more about this island? And a military force to guide her trip? What is she thinking? Carl A. Rozzelle, Russell
