Letter to the editor: Fetterman’s ‘work’ record
It was good to see that John Fetterman’s physician cleared him with “no work restrictions and can work full duty in public office.” Unfortunately, prior to his stroke, he didn’t “work full duty” while either as mayor or lieutenant governor — missing many city meetings (but still claiming this was...
Letter to the editor: Oz is right candidate for Pa.
Dr. Mehmet Oz is the right candidate for me. I grew up in Lebanon County. I am now a student at Robert Morris University. I was raised with conservative values and deep love for my country. Oz supports these values. From defending our constitutional rights to fighting for our veterans,...
Letter to the editor: Democrats will get the job done
Inflation is high. Grocery prices are up. It costs more to fill the tank than it did in 2020. Strangely, many folks concerned about inflation plan to vote for Republicans. What will Republicans do about inflation if elected? They may extend the Trump-era tax cuts for corporations, exacerbating inflation. Record...
Letter to the editor: Jeremy Shaffer has extreme abortion views
Jeremy Shaffer is positioning himself as the moderate in the congressional race in District 17. He is anything but. He is running ads claiming that “Jeremy Shaffer will protect women’s health care.” His wife shills: “Being married to a physician, Jeremy knows the importance of decisions between patients and their...
Sounding off: Readers share views as election approaches
We don’t need Fetterman in Washington Pennsylvanians are faced with a choice for Senate that very well might tip the balance of power in Washington. Voters should consider what they want for the future of our great country. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is, by his own admission, a new progressive...
Letter to the editor: If you value freedoms, vote Shapiro
I am afraid for our country. In many states, we are electing people who tell us exactly who they are. From the words they speak, we know they think that they can decide who will win an election, eliminating my vote and yours. Some join organizations like QAnon and Proud...
Letter to the editor: Fetterman’s ideas, not his health, most concerning
Recently we were informed by Lt. Gov. John Fetterman’s doctor, who has also made multiple donations to his Senate campaign, that he is sufficiently recovered from his stroke to be our senator. That’s great, except his stroke isn’t what’s keeping sane people from voting for him. It’s his wacky leftist...
Letter to the editor: Vote for America’s future Nov. 8
Democrats are making abortion and Donald Trump the key election issues. Abortion remains legal in Pennsylvania after the recent Supreme Court decision, and Trump is not on the ballot. This diversion ignores the issues of skyrocketing food and energy prices; an unsecure southern border being flooded by illegal immigrants and...
Letter to the editor: Vote Democrat to get things done
I urge my fellow Trib readers in the strongest terms possible to consider voting only for Democrats in this election. The GOP gubernatorial candidate has vowed to stop counting votes from Pittsburgh, Philadelphia and anywhere else he doesn’t like the results. The GOP senatorial candidate made his fortune peddling do-nothing...
Letter to the editor: We don’t need Fetterman in Washington
Pennsylvanians are faced with a choice for Senate that very well might tip the balance of power in Washington. Voters should consider what they want for the future of our great country. Lt. Gov. John Fetterman is, by his own admission, a new progressive Democrat in the mold of Reps....
Letter to the editor: Most important election in history
In my opinion, this election will be the most important in American history for the following reasons: • The president chose his cabinet for diversity, not merit, i.e., Supreme Court Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson wouldn’t define “woman.” • There is rampant crime (Democratic mayors) in many cities with no bail...
Letter to the editor: Dems focused on abortion instead of inflation, crime
With rampant inflation, skyrocketing gas prices and crime gone through the roof, it’s so comforting to know that Democratic candidates are laser-focused on the killing of unborn babies. Wow, what a relief! Bill Radvansky New Kensington...
Letter to the editor: Let’s hear about some of Fetterman’s flaws
In 2013, while he was mayor of Braddock, John Fetterman chased a Black jogger and pointed a shotgun at him. He should have been arrested and put in jail. I haven’t heard about this on the news, or anyone talking about it. I read letters to the editor raving about...
Letter to the editor: Vote GOP if you love USA
The following has occurred since January 2021 when the Biden administration and the Democratic majority took over our entire federal government: Crime is on the rise. In many Democrat-run major cities, murder is at its highest rate ever. Police are being targeted largely due to leftist slandering. Incompetent Democratic district...
Letter to the editor: Oz is no Pennsylvanian
Are you wondering why a citizen of Turkey with a mansion in New Jersey who is a medical doctor, TV celebrity, has hundreds of thousands of dollars and a family with extreme wealth would be pretending to be a resident of Pennsylvania to run for the U.S. Senate? This is...
Letter to the editor: Do we really want Mastriano as governor?
Today marks four years since a white nationalist, armed with assault weapons and antisemitic hatred, attacked my synagogue, murdering 11 people and injuring six more, including law enforcement officers. What has changed since that day? Four years ago, shooter Robert Bowers and his beliefs were considered fringe. Today the Republican...
Letter to the editor: What will GOP do about inflation?
At the beginning of October I returned from a long trip to Europe. Inflation there is much worse than our current 8.2%. Our gasoline prices are similarly modest in comparison, even moreso now. Inflation is currently 14.5% in the Netherlands, 13.7% in Russia, 10.1% in the UK, 10% in Germany,...
Letter to the editor: Work ethic is difference between parties
Letter-writer Helen Hopkinson asked, “What’s the difference between Republicans, Democrats?” (Oct. 19, TribLIVE). There is a race. The Democrats want everyone to start the race at the same time and finish the race at the same time. The Republicans want everyone to start the race at the same time but...
Letter to the editor: Chris Deluzio has walked the walk
One candidate for Congress in the 17th District has an agenda undergirded by a commitment to serve the common good: Chris Deluzio. Iraq War veteran, voting rights attorney, voting security expert and union organizer, Chris hasn’t just “talked the talk”; he has “walked the walk.” Having served as a North...
Letter to the editor: Look at Mastriano through lens of history
Kristallnacht, the “Night of Broken Glass,” was a massacre that occurred Nov. 9-10, 1938. It was the first organized, government-sanctioned act of violence against German Jews. It marked the start of the systematic annihilation of millions of Jews during the Holocaust. Its commemoration falls two weeks and four years after...
Letter to the editor: Mastriano vs. Shapiro
There is certainly a lot of noise about the Oz/Fetterman race for U.S. Senate, and a good deal of radio silence about the gubernatorial race. You might not know that Sen. Doug Mastriano is running. For my money, the governor’s race is much more important to us Pennsylvanians, when you...
Letter to the editor: Our democracy is on the line
The other day, I was watching footage of Jan. 6. The crowd was chanting U.S.A., U.S.A., leading one to believe they thought of themselves as patriots. However, what the supposed patriots were doing was violently and destructively trying to bring down our democracy, or government. Because they could not admit...
Letter to the editor: Enough with the political ads
It is time we address the issue of the constant ridiculous political ads that invade the airways every other minute, insulting our intelligence and integrity. Do they really think Pennsylvania voters are that stupid? Wouldn’t it be original to just tell the truth? Try donating some of that wasted money...
Letter to the editor: Do you feel safer, more secure two years later?
Before you get out to vote in a couple of weeks, here are some questions you need to ask yourself. First of all, disregard all of the candidate ads on TV. They will say and do anything to get your vote. Do you feel safer now than you did two...
Letter to the editor: Show us what’s in Fetterman’s past
Donald Trump and Dr. Mehmet Oz have a handicap: They are both celebrities. The liberal left can usually find something in their past and spin it. But John Fetterman remains a man of mystery. The press doesn’t seem interested in digging into his background. I didn’t follow the scandals about...
