Editor: Many heartfelt thanks to all the volunteers who logged several 10-hour days working to give free health care to so many of our friends and neighbors who lack basic healthcare access. Medical professionals gave their time and expertise and scores of helpers worked selflessly to ensure that so many were relieved of pain and disabilities. What a […]

Editor: Thank you Mr. Greenson for your editorial “The Crisis of Our Time,” and reporting on Project 2025 (“Huffman Talks Project 2025,” July 18). I think this issue will galvanize the majority of voters who would prefer not to have a huge police state and fewer checks on presidential power. Project 2025 has 140 members […]

Editor: I find myself disgusted by Biden’s hubris that he is insisting on staying in the race, and that we “should move on because I’m not getting out” (Mailbox, July 11) Their camp is blaming what they call “the chattering class” for “keeping it alive.” Wrong! You have exposed yourself as a liar who is […]

Editor: A heart felt “thank you” Mary Thibodeaux Lentz for writing the magnificent, poignant poem entitled “Dear Mr. Biden” that appeared in the July 11 edition. And, thank you NCJ for printing it. The poem represents the highest, purest form of political expression, in my opinion. It was doubly powerful for me because the Hope Creek/Ten […]

Editor: There is no burden the democrat regime in Sacramento isn’t willing to dump on suffering California citizens as is the pile facing us this November (“2024 Ballot Measures: What You Need to Know,” July 11). Here is the easy voting card, vote no on all except Proposition 36. Proposition 2 borrows another $10 billion […]

Editor: It’s important to consider a candidate’s qualifications before you vote, so here is a list of qualifications for one presidential candidate. He possesses a broad business background. He’s had six hotel/casino businesses file for bankruptcy and has sold shoes, Bibles and personal trading cards, as well as begged for donations, all on the internet. […]

Editor: According to Kelby Mcintosh’s Juneteenth origin story (“My Juneteenth Revelation of Embracing Culture in Humboldt,” June 27), “a white man signed a piece of paper saying black folks are free.” Would that be Abraham Lincoln, one of the greatest men this country has ever produced? I can see where Kelby is coming from. After all, it […]

Editor: Thank you so much, Natalie Arroyo, for your informative, thoughtful, and heartfelt article “Pride is Alive and Well,” in the June 20 edition. You make me proud to be a Eurekan with you as my representative! Amy Lennox, Eureka Related Stories

Editor: I write on behalf of a group of us we have named the Humboldt Committee for Peace, Humanity and Justice for Palestine (Mailbox, May 30). We have met with Congressmember Huffman to urge him to support a ceasefire. But the bombings continue. This letter is about our concern for the children as we would […]

Editor: Trump is an existential threat to life on earth (Mailbox, June 6).  As I write today, on Summer Solstice, 2024, there is a severe heat wave in much of the U.S. A tropical storm has dropped 10 inches of rain on part of Texas, while much of California is baking, dry as a tinderbox and devastated by […]

Editor: I am so happy the North Coast Journal publishes local poems and this week I was stunned by Garrett Snedaker’s poem “Graduation” (June 20). I loved the wording, the flow and the absolute joy of reading from beginning to end. Dave Rosso, Eureka Related Stories

Editor: First, I want to thank Barry Evans for his periodic Field Notes, which serve to enlighten us on an eclectic variety of topics. In his last column on “The Myth of the Lone Genius” (June 6), he noted that the lone genius concept is in fact a myth, failing to take into account the […]
