Letters To The Editor

Readers’ Forum

Live Better, Be A Good Witness God’s Love To The Readers’ Forum: This is an open letter of response to an editorial from Rev. Mel McGinnis published in the January 25th edition of the Post Journal. You taunt “Play stupid games, win stupid prizes” Really? What an immature response to the fatal “prize” awarded by the unrestrained, untrained, out of control ICE agent who shot Renee Good at point blank range! No ICE agent is empowered to be judge, jury and executioner for the “stupid game” of not following instructions. You are blaming the victim. And this is an ...

No Good News From The Trump Administration

To The Readers’ Forum: Roughly one year is gone - only three more of the Trump administration to go! (Thank goodness!) But what a year this has been! First, I’ll give you the “bad” news. “Normal” has left the building! “Project 2025” has become the tool, the blueprint, of conservatives and Trump. Roughly10% of the federal workforce has been fired by Trump, and various agencies of the federal government, from the Education Department to Health & Human Services to the Consumer Protection Agency, to name but a few, have been decimated or abolished - many more people ...

It’s Time For Congress To Lead And Trump To Follow

To The Readers’ Forum: Congressman Langworthy: Our country needs you to stand up for what is right and what our country stands for. What is happening in Minneapolis and other cities is not right. I agree that some undocumented immigrants need to be deported, expeditiously if possible, but not at the expense of the rights of the majority of law abiding, tax paying individuals. The current administration has basically sent federally approved thugs to rampage recklessly through cities causing tremendous damage to people and property and costing innocent lives. Congress needs to ...

Point Chautauqua Opposition Protects County’s Golden Goose To The Reader’s Forum: I’m writing in response to your opinion piece in Saturday/Sunday paper, “Point Chautauqua Opposition Contains The Echoes Of Past Lake Projects.” The “Golden Goose,” as described by the author is Chautauqua Lake. The Chautauqua Point former golf course Project, by a Buffalo Developer, will not only affect the Historic Point Chautauqua grounds laid down by Frederick L. Olmsted and in 1996 brought to acclaim on the National Register of Historic Places, but the proposed development is ...

Protester Thanks Those Who Honked Their Support To The Reader’s Forum: I’d like to say a heartfelt thank you to all the folks who beeped, gave thumbs-up, or just smiled and nodded as you passed by our ICE protest on the corner of Sixth Street and Washington today. You have no idea how much we appreciate your support. It can feel very lonely sometimes, putting yourself out there in opposition to the powerful. We know it’s the quickest way for us to respond to injustices as we see them although, of course, voting is the ultimate response and the only response that can ...

Don’t Forget What Happened On Jan. 6, 2021

To The Reader’s Forum: As the fifth anniversary of the Trump-led attack on the U.S. Capitol goes by, along with facts of over 140 injuries to police guarding the Capitol building, the deaths of several people involved in the attack and calls for the hanging of then Vice-President Pence, apparently, voters in America are not afraid of the fascism displayed by Donald Trump but are afraid of the state of their pocketbooks! Why do I say this? Well, in spite of the election of Joe Biden in 2020, the biggest reason for Trump being reelected was the fact that the “cost” of ...
