O’DELL: Don’t waste your vote on a Democrat or a Republican this November

Another election is quickly approaching us within the next 100 days. Once again, the Democrats and Republicans have presented their constituents with (arguably) the two most polarizing options possible. In 2020, that comes in the form of incumbent "Republican" Donald Trump and Democrat Joe Biden. Surely, it is going to be overwhelming for voters to watch candidates publish radio and television ad hominem attacks rather than debating relevant talking points. However, your voting options do not have limitations with these […]

KUHL: Democrat-supporting student has faith in Bourne

Now more than ever, I am concerned about the growing political divide in our country that is pitting neighbor against neighbor and turning our democracy into a political game show. Our ideological differences seem to matter more than what unites us and harsh words and hate have taken precedence over reason and good policy. I believe in order to mend our political system, we need a bipartisan champion who reaches across the aisle and stands up for our values. Until […]

BOURNE: Clark should participate in candidate forum

Last election, the Litchfield Chamber of Commerce hosted a candidate forum. It served as an important opportunity for voters to hear from local candidates on issues facing our communities and our state.  This forum was neutral, well-respected, well-attended, and aired on the radio. I attended the forum, not only as a candidate to share my point of view, but also as an interested voter of Montgomery County. At the time, Dillon Clark, who is now my opponent, was running for […]

PLOSKI: Voting Libertarian is not a wasted vote

"You're throwing away your vote." "You can't vote for a third party candidate unless there's a lot of people voting for a third party candidate." "You can't vote for him/her, they have no chance to win; you have to wait for a lot of people to vote for them.” I get told this all the time. When I was not sure who I wanted to vote for, I was told voting for a third party candidate was “throwing away my […]

LETTER TO THE EDITOR: Make sure your brakes are working properly

When it comes to vehicle safety, the brake system is at the top of the list. Brake Safety Awareness Month is the ideal time for drivers to stop and make sure their brakes are working properly before the new school year and colder temperatures arrive. Motorists can put a stop to any potential brake problems by recognizing the signs and symptoms that their brake system may need maintenance or repair. Typical warning signs include the car pulling to the left […]

SMITH: Support Libertarian candidates on the ballot in New Hampshire

Piece by piece the government is coming for you. First they came for your money. But that was just the start. Now they are coming for your words, and most importantly, they are coming for your thoughts. And it is comply or else. Day by day we see the government taking more steps trying to “help” us or “protect” us. Many of these actions are based on laws passed to help one group at the expense of another. But as […]

MOODY: Come on, Illinois Democrats — do something

I am a liberal progressive living in the state of Illinois whose legislative body is controlled by the Democratic Party. As a liberal progressive, I have an affinity for the Democrats who generally promote the values I believe in, however our state is in miserable financial shape and has been for a long time. Our bonds are rated just a tad above junk, which means that we have to pay an interest premium to borrow money. Vendors who do business […]

PHILLIPS: Consider Libertarian Kash Jackson over Rauner and Pritzker

Representative Jeanne Ives gave me hope that our state would still be saved. After decades of Democrat control of our state legislature, I wanted to see Rauner succeed, but all I got were betrayals. After primary night, it dawned on me that we're left with choosing Pritzker or Rauner. One billionaire or another. Fortunately, there is a third option -- Kash Jackson, the Libertarian candidate for Governor. I was skeptical at first, but then I researched him. Like Representative Ives, […]

SANFORD: Colleague supports Robbins for sheriff

In light of the upcoming election, I would like to submit this letter concerning a friend of mine, Rick Robbins, who is campaigning to be the next sheriff of Montgomery County. I have known Rick and have had the pleasure of working in law enforcement with him for approximately 25 years.  We both started our law enforcement careers at the Morrisonville Police Department.  In 1994, Rick was hired as a deputy sheriff at the Montgomery County Sheriff's Office.  I was […]
