Reader’s Voice: Illinois’ Pritzker wrong about the Right

On March 4, 2025March 4, 2025 By admin

February 25, 2025Dear editor; During his recent budget address, governor JB Pritzker pretentiously proclaimed, “We don’t have kings in America – and I don’t intend to bend the knee to one,” referring to president Donald Trump. Ironic when you consider it was Pritzker who issued at least 41 consecutive disaster...

Reader’s Voice: Legalized prostitution; flawed thinking

On January 21, 2025January 21, 2025 By admin

January 15, 2025Dear editor; Some Illinois state lawmakers plan to introduce a bill to legalize prostitution in the Land of Lincoln. This proposal would expunge past criminal arrests and conviction records. Taking advantage of the super-majority in both chambers, these Democrats want “private choices” about the use of one’s body...

Reader’s Voice: Say no to assisted suicide in Illinois

On December 3, 2024December 3, 2024 By admin

November 19, 2024Dear editor; Should Illinois legalize assisted-suicide? Some state senators think so. If allowed, vulnerable individuals who are sick, elderly, disabled, and those with mental illness and dementia will become targets. As the father of a Downs Syndrome toddler, I am extremely alarmed by this proposal. No one should...

Reader’s Voice: A drug emergency in Oregon

On February 13, 2024February 12, 2024 By admin

February 8, 2024Dear editor; In 2020, Oregon voters decriminalized possession of small amounts of almost every hard drug. Progressives campaigned in support of this ballot measure, insisting that their state should help treat addiction rather than punish it. The measure passed with 58 percent support. Now, Oregon’s governor has declared...

On January 23, 2024January 22, 2024 By admin

January 16, 2024Dear editor; Illinois governor JB Pritzker is back grandstanding for the news media, complaining about the immigration crisis trickling up to Illinois.

October 5, 2023Dear editor; In his letter to president Joe Biden, governor JB Pritzker complained about the refugees being bussed to Chicago from Texas and how federal aid hasn’t kept up.

May 15, 2023Dear editor; Can the incompetence of the Joe Biden administration be any clearer than the alarming humanitarian situation we have on the Mexico border?

October 13, 2021Dear editor; Truth is vitally important to Christians such as I am (Proverbs 23:23; John 14:6), and I am adamantly convinced that our political leaders are exaggerating where we are (and have been) with this COVID-19 pandemic. It may be cynical of me to say, but many of...
