January 27, 2025Dear editor; Concerning Donald Trump and the rule of law. Thoughts of an honest, compassionate, non-corrupt Executive Branch of the United States government proved delusional when we as the American electorate voted Trump, once again, as our president and supposed leader of the free world. For some Trump
January 23, 2025Dear editor; Our most recent presidents, Donald Trump, Joe Biden, and Barack Obama, have collectively granted more than 11,700 pardons, with president Biden holding the record at more than 8,000 pardons. By granting a pardon voids not only the offence, but it can void the monetary damages owed
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
January 11, 2025Dear editor; Trump says: I didn’t do anything wrong; It was a perfect phone call; It’s a hoax, witch hunt; Fake news; It’s not Russia; I’m going to build a great wall and have Mexico pay for it; I could stand in the middle of 5th Avenue and
December 29, 2024Dear editor; One of the greatest unpaid jobs in Aurora is being an usher at the brand spanking new Stolp Island Theatre, and I can tell you, it’s an absolute privilege. From the moment you walk in, the attention to detail in the theatre draws you into the
December 19, 2024Dear editor; With just one month left before Donald Trump returns to the White House, we are running out of time to lock in protections for our climate and communities. One critical action president Joe Biden can take right now is to permanently shut down the Dakota Access
December 13, 2024Dear editor; When trying to solve the mystery of the drones, I would like to remind everyone when our military covertly tested the Stealth Bomber. Even the families of the stealth pilots were not privy to the existence of these fighters nor to the fact that their loved
December 8, 2024Dear editor; The Plano Methodist Church wishes to thank everyone for supporting their Christmas Sale November 23. The Christmas Sale consisted of Christmas decorations, greenery, snowmen, wreaths, Santas, dishes, and ornaments. Donations from the Christmas Sale will go toward ministry of the Plano Methodist Church. The Plano Methodist
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
By Bela “Bill” Suhayda Leftist media is imploding as leftists writing to The Voice are exploding in rage. Elections have consequences, they say, especially when the elections don’t go their way. And it seems MainStream Media has not learned that lesson, at least not yet. They continue to double and
November 25, 2024Dear editor; If you want to win almost any argument or election, listen more than you speak. Find out what the people want and then work together with your fellow legislators (they’re just people too) to make it happen. Listening to people helps you hear how they 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
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
November 11, 2024Dear editor; Why have we allowed mindless politicians in Washington, D.C. to send thousands of our youth and innocent noncombatants to their death for senseless wars that we cannot win and are not a threat to our national security? Our so-called leaders should never have committed troops and
October 29, 2024Dear editor; Voters: Your right to vote is legally protected from intimidation and harassment. Federal law makes it a crime to intimidate, harass, or deceive voters at home or the polls.

October 25, 2024Dear editor: Still undecided? Donald Trump has been charged, tried, and convicted of 34 felony counts by a jury of his fellow New Yorkers where one of his frauds took place. If he’s like one of you, as he claims, why is he not in jail awaiting sentencing?
October 25, 2024Dear editor; I urge the Sugar Grove trustees to read Mary Ochsenschlager’s commentary in The Voice, October 17 Issue. I quote Mary, “New homes, driveways, roads and parking lots create more impervious surfaces, and the pollutants that come with it”. The Forest Preserve District of Kane County has
October 16, 2024Dear editor; Kane County is blessed with a rich tapestry of forest preserves that encompass more than 23,000 acres. These public lands enrich our quality of life and provide outdoor recreation areas for citizens to relax, unplug, and enjoy the mental and physical health benefits of nature. These
October 17, 2024Dear editor; I am writing in support of the Kane County Forest Preserve Land Preservation and Preserve Improvement referendum November 5.
