Rights of the individual

EDITOR: Liberty can be defined as where the rights of the individual supersede the rights of a majority. Liberty is different than Democracy. God given rights are just that. They are rights endowed by their creator and cannot be subject to the impulsive changing, will of man. Our puritan forefathers and successive generations of immigrants like myself understand this. We fled countries where the majority flexed its muscles in matters of religion, ethnicity, health etc etc. America, instead, enshrined rules to stop regulations or outlawing matters that didn’t directly pertain to ...

Bear hunt photos

EDITOR: Those of us who love and cherish all life as God’s creation hate having to see this slaughter published in our Daily Press newspaper. Isn’t there enough killing and bloodshed in the world already? Why are we not teaching our children a love and respect for all life especially where we live, in the great U.P. of Michigan called “God’s Country”? Please refrain from publishing the sickening slaughter of our wildlife. Live and let live. Diana Peach Cedar River

Call to Stabenow

EDITOR: I called our Congressional representatives, Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, on September 20th. Left a message and did not receive a call-back. I called Stabenow’s local office in Marquette yesterday. Someone answered, which shocked me. I explained I wanted to talk to someone on some issues I was concerned about, such as illegal southern boarder crossings, infrastructure bill, debt ceiling, monitoring banking information, COVID vaccine mandates, and other issues. I asked how she felt about these issues, and how she was going to vote. The man who answered was rude from the ...

We don’t need more programs

EDITOR: This is in response to Mindy Grant’s letter in the September 30 Daily Press. We don’t need more advanced programs to feed kids. What we need is more responsible parents to go to work and feed their kids not the taxpayer feeding their kids. There was summer nutrition programs before COVID. There are help wanted signs everywhere. All businesses are short of help because they can’t get people to work. If they do hire someone most of the time they don’t even show up for work. They start at $14 to $15 per hour. I never made $11 per hour after being there for years when I ...

Solutions not accusations

EDITOR: Mr. Olson’s claims against Mr. Robert Reich are yet another example of GOP hysteria. The Democratic Party already has fought for regulations against big businesses for a reason. If left unchecked we have seen what these companies will do, unsafe work conditions, unchecked pollution, intimidating peaceful strikes with violence. I get a kick of the black lives matter movement being attacked by the GOP. There completely fine with the thousands of rabid Trump followers most of whom were white who defied the White House and threatened to hang our congressmen and women and even ...
