Editor: For the past couple of years, I have had the honor and privilege to be a part of the Veggie Crew, a group of volunteers at Food For People who bag up vegetables for distribution. Even during winter months we get brilliant broccoli, colorful carrots, colossal cauliflower, as well as lesser seen but greatly […]

Editor: “Sunshine, If We Can Keep It” (March 20) reflects Benjamin Franklin’s words, in 1787, to a group of people waiting outside the Constitutional Convention. They asked him what kind of government the delegates had decided upon. “A republic, if you can keep it,” answered the 81-year-old Ben, and hobbled off. Franklin had his doubts. […]

Editor: Thank you Jennifer Cahill for your detailed On The Table article of the reopening of El Pueblo Supermarket on South Broadway in Eureka (“El Pueblo, Bigger and Back on Broadway,” March 13). This close community supports businesses, and the challenges that Engelberto Tejeda and his son Freddy experienced with a property burning down years […]

Editor: I don’t subscribe to any ideology. I guess that leaves me free to look for the facts and form my own opinions about politics. The “Endless Wailing” (Mailbox, March 20) somehow omitted the facts about which party contributed the most to the deficit and which attempted to reduce the deficit. RAND Corp published a […]

Editor Did you know that the only ways provided for in the Constitution to remove an American president are impeachment and incapacity, as specified in the 25th amendment (Mailbox, March 20)? Many other democracies around the world provide for special elections when a majority government cannot be formed or removal when a vote of no […]

Editor: The recent death of one of the North Coast condors is a reminder of lead’s toxic legacy (“Youngest North Coast Condor Dies of Lead Poisoning,” March 20). Lead was used in paint, gasoline, plumbing and other consumer products for decades. It’s useful for its density, flexibility and durability. Lead does not biodegrade and accumulates […]

Editor: I read Collin Yeo’s article (“If You Tolerate This Your Children Will Be Next,” March 20). I applaud the encouragement for love rather than anger. Be sure to address that with Hamas, also. If you and your family and friends were suddenly the victims of an unprovoked attack and massacre, would you boldly preach […]

Editor: Riddle me this. Why is DOGE causing loss of jobs and services such a tremendous concern for California politicians, while PERS causing loss of jobs and services is not a huge concern (NCJ Daily, March 6)? Congressmember Jared Huffman talks of how government exists to serve the people and how DOGE is slashing staff […]

Editor: The current debacle launched by the fake “mandate” of the current White House occupant has given us an insane tariff war, destruction of USAID and multiple other agencies (NCJ Daily, March 6), illegal firing of government employees (“It’s Just Chaos,” Feb. 27) and failure to address any substantive problems facing the nation. It is […]

Editor: Regarding “Sleazy Move” (Mailbox, March 13), the editor wrote, “On the subject of McCullough’s credentials, it should be noted that the American Board of Internal Medicine recently revoked his board certifications in cardiovascular disease and internal medicine after determining he was providing false or inaccurate medical information to the public.” Let me add my […]
