March 8, 2021Dear editor; I am running for Village of Oswego Trustee. There are six of us candidates running for three open seats. If elected, my plan is to get up to speed as quickly as possible, and fill in the gaps between what I think I know and learn
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.

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
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
By Brandy Gilliam, P.O.B.U.M.S. SOCIETY; Sandra González, Aurora Rapid Response Team We, the Aurora Grassroots Alliance, condemn Aurora mayor Richard Irvin and Police Chief Kristin Ziman’s inflammatory remarks about community activists during their February 3 media briefing on the City’s uptick in crime. Irvin opened the media briefing, after reciting
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.
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda It’s been four years of nonstop harassment and attacks on Donald Trump. It all ended, at least for now, in a second acquittal in his second impeachment trial. The charge against him this time was “incitement of insurrection.” The charge was alluded to by Nancy Pelosi
As longtime residents of Aurora Township, it is clear to us the only qualified candidate for Township supervisor is Bill Catching. Bill has performed admirably in his position and truly represented the entire community effectively and selflessly. He has the experience and the slate of candidates to continue to be an effective servant of the Township and its residents…
February 8, 2021Dear editor; We need COVID-19 relief now and with democracy returned to the White House we’re going to get it. President Joe Biden ran on and is pursuing a $1.9 Trillion COVID Relief bill as rapidly as he can make it happen. A compromise from the other side
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
January 29, 2021Dear editor; My husband, Stan, and I went to Rush-Copley in Aurora today, for our COVID-19 vaccines and it was so easy. We wish the whole country will get vaccinations so we can get well. Our doctor signed us up January 14 with appointments to receive the vaccines
January 23, 2021Dear editor; The last five years I spent a lot of time thinking about Aurora and trying to understand its culture. I find it very different, especially looking at surrounding cities. The governing bodies tend to be exclusive clubs, more than looking to help the needs of all
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….
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?…
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….
January 7, 2021Dear editor; January 6 was a dark day in the history of the United States of America. The activities on Capitol Hill should have been a procedural exercise to finalize the 2020 election. Indeed, our Nation’s Capitol was attacked by domestic terrorists seeking to invalidate the will of
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
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
December 21, 2020Dear editor; Speaking of Christmas, who is? It is not the media as a limited fact. Christmas has been hijacked, replaced, by happy holidays. Why? Christmas is not spelled in the plural. It is one day to honor the birth of Jesus Christ. The actual date is still
