Waubonsee group makes endorsements

March 15, 2021Dear editor; I am writing as a proud member of the Waubonsee Community College Faculty Council. We have unanimously endorsed Giselle Gonzalez and Sandra González for two Trustee seats in the upcoming April 6 election. Ms Giselle Gonzalez, @giselleforwcc, is the daughter of Mexican immigrants, a former student

Remembering teacher Roy C. Everson, Jr.

March 6, 2021Dear editor; Did you ever have a teacher who had an impact in your life in ways which truly matter? At K.D. Waldo Junior High in Aurora, I discovered the most stimulating seventh-grade classroom was taught by a commanding presence, the late Mr. Roy C. Everson Jr. of

No Egypt money in relief bill

February 22, 2021Dear editor; A letter to the editor in the Oswego Ledger in the February 18 issue, stated that the last stimulus package addressing COVID-19 relief included things such as $1.3 Billion for Egypt, and so on. I did not think that foreign expenditures were part of the COVID-19

Public funds would help cultured meat

February 12, 2021Dear editor; Illinois Senators Dick Durbin and Tammy Duckworth should support public funding for cultured-meat research, with the goal of making the cell-grown, slaughter-free protein competitive with factory-farmed meat. Israeli startup Future Meat Technologies recently announced its ability to produce a quarter pound of cultured chicken for $7.50.

Information limited on vaccination times

February 1, 2021Dear editor; As a newly-elected Kane County Board member, I want to provide as much information to the public as I can. The question I receive most often is, “When can I get vaccinated? ”Unfortunately, the only answer I can give people is “soon”, and I feel it

Response: Christmas greeting serious

If Frank Patterson’s letter in the January 7 issue of The Voice, “Comment on greetings at Christmas” goes unanswered, then (commentator) Rush Limbaugh’s observation is accurate: “The general population doesn’t know what is happening and it doesn’t even know it doesn’t know.”

Vladimir Putin, president of Russia, criticized Western countries for abandoning Christian roots.

Such a statement from prominent leaders should be taken seriously. If not, our country is on a continuing route to chaos. Mr. Patterson’s opinion shows disrespect for our religious traditions….

‘Funny’ facts fill U.S. elections

Those who think there’s no election fraud must be living with blinders on due to their political biases. Let’s look at some “funny” facts.

Dominion Voting Systems, widely used in this country, was founded in 2002 by two Canadians who currently own Dominion in partnership with Staple Street Capital, a New York-based private equity firm with questionable connections which invested in Dominion in 2018. Canada is a radically liberal country. Many Canadians would love to see Republicans defeated in the U.S. Why the heck are we using election software from a country biased against conservatism? Why the heck aren’t we using American software for American elections?…

Facts, truth, stop the big lie

How do you combat a Lie? With Facts and the Truth. Joe Biden and Kamala Harris won the popular vote and the Electoral College Vote November 3, 2020.

President Donald Trump fraudulently denies their win with the big lie that he won the election by a landslide. He told his supporters over and over that he had won and that Biden was stealing it from him. He ginned up his followers to a fever pitch at his January 6 rally, then sent them to the Capitol to “take back their country”, even turning them on his vice president Mike Pence for whom they built a gallows to hang him. Five others died as a result of their insurrection….

Defending democracy costly in D.C. January 6

January 11, 2021Dear editor; What price would you pay to defend democracy where you work? Brian Sicknick, 42-year-old-Capitol-Hill-police-officer, gave his life Wednesday, Jan. 6 to defend a sacred symbol of Democracy the U.S. Capitol building and those inside. When the pro-Donald Trump mob breached the Capitol building, he was beaten

Endorsement of column by the Chas

December 22, 2020Dear editor; Charles Coddington’s column in the December 17 issue of The Voice, “Birth, death, miracle of Jesus, some facts examined” (https://thevoice.us/birth-death-miracle-of-jesus-some-facts-examined) certainly made my week. I wish everyone Merry Christmas and happy holidays to expand with happy Solstice. The Chas nailed the idea that Jesus the Christ

New Year and new candidate

December 28, 2020Dear editor; As we come to the end of a truly challenging year, I extend to all a joyous holiday season. Many of us have experienced illness, financial hardship, isolation, and various adversities, but we made it through 2020. Good riddance! Despite these challenging times we faced together,

Jesus existed: Case cited

December 18, 2021Dear editor; I often enjoy Charles Coddington’s writings, but I just had to answer his fantasies about the origins of Christianity in The Voice December 3 (https://thevoice.us/historical-context-explicated-of-evangelical-christians) and 17 (https://thevoice.us/birth-death-miracle-of-jesus-some-facts-examined). There is no evidence that Saul of Tarsus was a Zealot. I believe Chas wrote the articles to

In defense of recent comments

December 18, 2020Dear editor; In response to Frank Patterson’s letter in the December 17 issue of The Voice (thevoice.us/objection-to-recent-readers-commentary): Mr. Patterson thinks it is “hooey” the Democratic Party has become the home of Big tech billionaires, globalists, socialists, Marxists, BLM, antifa, and main stream media. Perhaps he needs to do

Objection to recent Reader’s Commentary

December 11, 2020Dear editor; Mr. Bela “Bill” Suhayda makes a lot of allegations in his commentary in the December 10 Reader’s Commentary of The Voice, “Democratic Party change dismantles” (thevoice.us/democratic-party-change-dismantles) but much of what he writes sounds just like something off an internet blog or a crackpot radio station.
