By John & Nisha Whitehead Once again we find ourselves approaching that time of year when, as George Washington and Abraham Lincoln proclaimed, we’re supposed to give thanks as a nation and as individuals for our safety and our freedoms. But how do you give thanks for freedoms that are
November 19, 2024Dear editor; First, as one who supported DeSantis in the primaries, let me congratulate president-elect Donald Trump and his supporters on their victory. But then let me bring high-flying Trump supporters back to reality. Because Harris, Walz, and the Democrats were so bad, Americans elected a man weighed
November 18, 2024Dear editor; Are you seeing what Donald Trump’s Project 2025 has in store for all of us even before he’s in office? “America first” means America alone, but we have relationships in this world who depend on us as an international leader in economics, defense, and climate change
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda When 98% of what you say about Donald Trump, deals with comparing him to Hitler, Mussolini, and Stalin, you’re not making sense. Then when you double down on calling him a racist, a bigot, a threat to democracy, then lose in the popular vote in the
By John & Nisha Whitehead Power corrupts. Absolute power corrupts absolutely. Unadulterated power in any branch of government is a menace to freedom, but concentrated power across all three branches is the very definition of tyranny: a dictatorship disguised as democracy. When one party dominates all three branches of government,
November 11, 2024Dear editor; You say you don’t like what Donald Trump says, but you like his policies. I’ve never liked lying charlatans who are after your money for their gain, and then to give it to billionaires with another huge tax break, while increasing our costs with tariffs and
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda I’m astonished, but I shouldn’t be. I’ve been listening to post election analysis by Democrats and why they think they lost this election. They seem genuinely perplexed about the rebuke the American people have given them. They shouldn’t be. The American people, with this election, have
By Charles Coddington The Chas here. As I have observed in a previous essay, in those so-called “red states,” i.e. where Republicans control the executive and legislative branches of government, the Big Boys have been busy changing the rules of voting in order to put Donald Trump back into the
By John & Nisha Whitehead Brace yourself: A tsunami approaches. While we squabble over which side is winning this losing battle to lead the country, there is something being concocted in the dens of power, far beyond the public eye, and it doesn’t bode well for the future of this

October 10, 2024Dear editor; When I moved to Kane County in 1965, the Fox River and many nearby creeks were so polluted, we were cautioned not to eat the fish. After significant efforts clean up water pollution, starting in the 1970s, the Fox River is much cleaner now. Few resources
October 10, 2024Dear editor; As the election draws closer, we cannot ignore the growing impact of climate change on our communities. Hurricane Helene and now Hurricane Milton, along with dozens of wildfires this past summer, they’re all clear warning signs of a very real climate crisis. This issue deserves more
By John & Nisha Whitehead In a perfect example of the nanny state mindset at work, Hillary Clinton insists that the powers-that-be need “total control” in order to make the internet a safer place for users and protect us harm. Clinton is not alone in her distaste for unregulated, free
October 2, 2024Dear editor; Hi Len, Judy here. I just read your Reader’s Voice article in The Voice October 3, responding to my Reader’s Voice September 19. My submission was written with words straight from my grandson’s heart wanting solutions to end gun violence in school. I’m proud of him
October 7, 2024Dear editor; This is a response to Reader’s Voice, October 3, “…Good Versus Evil.” Mr. Len Wass’ opinion begins with a well-deserved accolade for an eighth-grade student’s September 19 Reader’s Voice describing the fear of gun violence he and his classmates endure each day at school. The young
October 1, 2024Dear editor; November 5, we will have an opportunity to positively shape the future of our communities by supporting the Kane County Forest Preserve District’s Land Preservation and Preserve Improvement Referendum. Studies continue to show that natural areas such as forest preserves have a positive impact on property
September 25, 2024Dear editor; I found Ms Siedlecki’s letter in the September 19 issue very moving. In it she forwarded her eighth grade grandson’s letter citing his fears caused by school shootings in America. Such fears should never be allowed to surface in our wonderful nation. We veterans have fought
September 20, 2024Dear editor; As I watched the presidential debate between Donald Trump and Kamala Harris, my thoughts for most of the evening was she dominated him. Harris was very prepared and scripted all night. She was not the gift that just keeps on giving when she speaks without the
For the third The Voice column I’m writing this month, it’s a beautiful day in the neighborhood. The sun is shining, the birds are singing, my Lumi deodorant is doing its advertised job, the stock market’s up, inflation, gas prices, Donald Trump’s poll numbers and the value of his Truth
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Thirty-nine days until election day and I learned there have been more than 400,000 criminal aliens who have entered our country through our southern border. Among these 400,000 criminal illegals, there are more than 15,000 who are convicted rapists and another 13,000 that have been convicted
