Subject: Letter To Former President Trump
Dear Editor, Here's a Letter to Former president Trump. You had four years to lead the United States and failed us by your own choosing. Whether it be in foreign policy or domestic policy, you did not protect the United States as commander in chief. We the American people have finally borne witness to what happens when they place an incompetent business man into the Oval Office. Especially one who had everything handed to him. Quality of life is not a business decision, sir. But rather, it is a humane choice to be empathetic to those who cannot help themselves. This is why government exists.

Subject: Political Primaries and Caucuses
Dear Editor, A political primary is a preliminary election in which the registered voters of a political party nominate candidates for office. The key word here is preliminary. The current system allows small states such as Iowa and New Hampshire {assisted by the media} to award front-runner status to the victorious candidate. From there the candidates travel a path determined by which states wants to "leap frog" the other by moving up their primary dates. Candidates are whisked across the country without any real ability to distinguish regional issues from national issues. Consequently, party platforms are determined by a make-it-up-as-you-go approach.

Subject: Affirmative Action
Dear Editor, The purpose of affirmative action in the United States was to create government programs to overcome the effects of past societal discrimination by allocating jobs and resources to members of specific groups, such as minorities and women. There is no question that past societal discrimination occurred in the United States and perhaps the only appropriate remedy {at the time} was affirmative action. However, I believe this policy has outlived its purpose.

Subject: Life begins at the point of conception
Dear Editor, Life begins at the point of conception. No one can deny that after a human being is conceived it will develop into the very same being as those debating this issue. What astounds me is that those who favor abortion went through an identical development stage as the being they are condemning to death. Would these very same people agree that a similar choice should have been made about their own existence? How many human lives have been lost that could have added to our society in so many ways?

Dear Editor, Here is a letter I sent to Ms. Donna Hefner, Chief Administrator of Sierra View Medical Center on September 15th 2022. Good morning, Donna! I recently had carpal tunnel release surgery at SVMC and want to give a high 5 to the entire staff that was involved in my procedure. There is a board on the wall at the end of the bed in the pre-op room that has a question in the lower left corner that says something to the effect of, “what one thing would make your experience here excellent?”

Subject: GAS PRICES
Dear Editor, This should make Americans ask the fundamental question: what is the difference between what a public non-profit utility company provides and what a private for-profit oil company provides? After all they both sell energy to all United States citizens. The difference is that natural gas and electricity are sold in the form of a public good whereas oil is sold in the form of a private good.

Dear Editor, In light of current circumstances, I am drawn back to the writers table, to address an issue of concern: People are beginning to notice the narrative changing surrounding the pandemic, the mandates and the “solution” provided by the CDC/FDA = vaccine programs. Locally we have recently seen outrage towards the Porterville City Council, directly referencing the incentivized vaccine program: $100.00 gift cards purchased with emergency funds and distributed when one receives a vaccine injection at one of “their” sites. The Program was adopted by council August 17, 2021.

Dear Editor, Many of us have concerns, questions and doubts surrounding the information, or lack of facts regarding the COVID-19 lockdowns, cases reported, emergency use authorized vaccines, testing and even death rates are disturbing at least. In a recent discussion, with one who is well informed, I suggested that there were “Pandemic Bonds” issued in July 2017, specifically indicating coronavirus as a cause to pay out as an insurance claim. I also shared that these bonds failed to do what they claimed to be intended for; to act as a protective measure in the case of pandemic, provide financial relief to those countries that would likely need assistance “when” a pandemic hit.

Subject: Kids Are In Jeopardy !!!
Dear Editor and Interested Readers! We have a new phenomenon in Our Nation. Several School Boards are strategically targeting any parents that are disgusted with the current politically-correct curriculum. It is the norm that teachers are reporting parents to the authorities for limiting their exposure to radical and unethical behavior. Instead of adhering to reading, writing, and arithmetic, these teachers feel it is their duty to broaden these young minds to pornography, homosexuality, anti-religious thought, and parental insubordination.

Dear Editor, It has been common knowledge for years that all major developing countries have possessed the ability to conduct germ warfare. The Wuhan crisis is no exception. Was a virus created in the lab and deliberately leaked into the local wet markets for experimentation on the people of Wuhan? This is totally consistent with China's poor record on civil rights and it's complete lack of concern for all of the Chinese people.

Dear Editor, I am Steve Walker, pastor at Valley Oak Community Church and chaplain for the Porterville Police and Fire Departments. As you are all aware of the events that have taken place in our communities locally as well as across the nation we are a people in need of God’s heart infusing the hearts of people all around. So with that in mind I would like to ask you, your staff, your congregations, your friends and anyone else who has a heart to see peace and order to gather tonight in front of City Hall for a Prayer Rally at 6:00 pm. This will be a time of showing support for our First Responders, City Leaders and our community through praying together.

Dear Editor, Tuesday May 19th, hundreds of people showed up in front of City Hall to protest the Governor’s stay-at-home order as well as the Porterville City Council’s lack of support for suffering small businesses within the City limits. The City was notified in advance about the protest and the Porterville Recorder ran a front-page story about the protest several days in advance. Protestors were in front of City Hall for nearly 2 hours. How many current City Council members came out to speak with the protestors about their concerns? That number was exactly ZERO !!!

Dear Editor, There is a planned protest in front of Porterville’s City Hall on Tuesday May 19th @ noon. The issue is Porterville City Hall’s lack of support for local business. You are starting to see many cities in California (Visalia as an example) start to pass ordinances saying that “ALL BUSINESS IS ESSENTIAL”’ !!! We expect Porterville to do the same. The Governor’s order is not only Unconstitutional but unfair. He is basically saying who gets to eat and who starves.

Subject: IN TIMES LIKE THESE ...
Dear Editor, As I was in prayer this week an old hymn came to mind and my heart was stirred as I realized the profound message is still so relevant today during these unprecedented and challenging times. The hymn is entitled, “In Times Like These”. It was written in 1944 during perils times during World War II by Kye Fleming and Dennis Morgan. Today, we are waging yet another world war with a contagious disease, COVID-19. Yet as we experience what is happening around the world, we need to pause and take time each day to embrace the powerful and reassuring message of this hymn and many others like it.

Dear Editor, This is an interesting "Farewell to England" list of Islamic accomplishments in that country that I thought might give you a better understanding of the insidiousness of Hijrah; that's the takeover of a nation without going to war. Don't think for a moment that America is not a target or that there are no American cities where Islamic and Sharia victories and takeovers have already occurred. It's time for border control, or start planning for a very big goodbye America party ! Here's what has already happened to England within a few years of opening their borders without entry control.

Subject: Seats Stolen by Illegally Voting
Dear Editor, Since many Americans keep saying that many voters voted illegally during the 2018 midterm elections, I decided to do some research on my own state’s new laws that were allegedly created to help more US citizens vote in my home state of California. The two laws I decided to research and study were written and passed in 2013 and 2015 during the Obama Administration’s era and current Democrat controlled California legislature and Governor Brown’s era. Although these law were allegedly written to make it easier for US citizens to vote in California, I found that these two laws were written to purposely work in tandem to basically, from what I gathered during my research, evidently ignore and circumvent Federal guidelines and laws that control the issuing of United States’ drivers’ licenses and protect the integrity of American elections.

Dear Editor, As a life-long registered voter it is my hope that the citizens of the
United States will make the effort to vote in what many consider to be
perhaps the most important election in the history of this country. Just as
with my fellow countrypersons I am not satisfied with the direction our
nation is going specifically when it comes to healthcare {pre-existing
conditions}, the economy {stagnant wages}, immigration {bias}. education
{teacher pensions} and gun regulation {AR-15 and bump stocks}. We as
a society have also seen a rise in sexual harassment and abuse as well
as hate of African Americans, Hispanics and Jews.

Dear Editor, One of the main reasons Donald Trump was elected as POTUS was his promise to solve our immigration problem. His biggest test is coming with the herd of illegal immigrants that is on the way to our Southern border. Few people are aware that prior to WWll the primary duty of the US Army was to guard our Southern border. Today we have 1,094,456 troops stationed in the contiguous USA and 20,000 in Alaska with none of them assigned to our border.

Subject: Electoral College
Dear Editor, The framers of the US Constitution created the Electoral College as a result of a compromise for the presidential election process. During the debate, some delegates felt that a direct popular election would lead to the election of each state’s favorite son and none would emerge with sufficient popular majority to govern the country. Other delegates felt that giving Congress the power to select the president would deny the people their right to choose. After all, the people voted for their representatives to the federal legislature. The compromise was to set up an Electoral College system that allowed voters to vote for electors, who would then cast their votes for candidates, a system described in Article II, section 1 of the Constitution.

Dear Editor, Generally, I am a quiet, rarely out-spoken individual but this national election is truly significant. I seriously doubt that I have clout to persuade any other voter but it is worth a try. Early on, in the last presidential election, I decided that I wanted Newt Gingrich for my candidate, for he had already had experience, twice, in balancing the budget. He had served in Washington; therefore, knew what the pressures, private-interest groups might be, and still was willing to carry the responsibility. With his background in American history, he could have well-served these past four years.

Dear Editor, I decided to write this legal type post because I am tired of seeing women accusers and the Left Wing Media passing off Gossip as facts to sway America's voters by telling tall tales about sexual in counters where allegedly Mr. Trump sexually attacked these women, or walked in on them while they were dressing. To prove these stories have no legitimacy and are mere gossip pieces that belong on puff shows like Wendy and the View, I am going to fill you in on the legal conduct needed to determine a controversy of this sort, or any case in a US COURT. First of all, if these gossip pieces had any merit, Mr. Trump would have been arrested by now, and have been disqualified by law from his candidacy by America's suffrage Laws.

Dear Editor, Senate Bill 1146 is designed to force all "Christian" Universities in the State of California into changing their education standards, so that no student will be required to take any courses that require them to read the Bible or go to the school's Chapel. This Bill also hinders the schools ability to make decisions on admission. The schools would have to adhere to a politically correct admission policy. They could no longer consider the morality (or lack there of) of a student when deciding upon admittance.

Encryption is for privacy. Encryption used to be the exclusive purview of government agencies to keep secrets from people. Increasingly, people are fearful of a government who goes snooping into their private affairs and violating their Fourth Amendment rights without a court order or a court hearing, just for shits and giggles, a violation of the First Amendment.

Dear Editor, The Issue of illegal immigration has not and will not go away until the Congress acts affirmatively. We have been facing this issue since 1964 when a ‘Bracero’ visa program ended. Millions of Mexicans had worked under the program which provided laborers, primarily in the agricultural sector. When the program ended, there was nothing to replace it, and chaos began.

Mr. DePaoli says that putting 5% of the general budget towards building projects is completely attainable and can be done without asking tax payers for any additional money.

Subject: Reviewing the Dick Act of 1902
Dear Editor, I think it would be a good idea if your readers would review the Dick Act of 1902, and contact their Congressional leaders about this too. The Dick Act of 1902 also known as the Efficiency of Militia Bill H.R. 11654 of June 28, 1902 invalidates all so-called gun-control laws. It also divides the militia into three distinct and separate entities.

Dear Editor, Here's a little Bible study for your readers. Remember what Jesus said to the 'Goats on the left, sheep on the right'. And to Peter, 'if you want to catch fish do it from the RIGHT side of the boat. They did and filled the boat. Now, for the origin of Left & Right ...

Subject: Open letter to the US Supreme Court
Dear Editor, An open letter to the US Supreme Court, RE: proposed legal rights for those that practice homosexual sex. Honorable US Supreme Court Justices, "Homosexual civil rights" is an oxymoron. Popular support and practice of homosexuality puts humans on the endangered species list. Homosexuality is the ultimate anti-civil behavior since homo + homo = 0 +/- HIV AIDS! Those that practice homosexuality already have the right to be civil just as they have the right to choose homosexual sex, which is non-compulsory in that one can choose to abstain from sexual relations just as one can choose what kind of sex to engage in and with whom or what within the law; (children never an option). This means they do not qualify for minority status protection.

Dear Editor, Today, a Corporatist Supreme Court joined a Corporatist President and Congress in transferring an enormous power that would appall the likes of Washington, Jefferson and Franklin. With the Supreme Courts codification that the Central Government plutocracy in Washington can compel citizens to purchase anything it deems appropriate, which benefits its corporate benefactors, our so called "Republic" today officially exceeded its intent. The great question is do "Americans" have the character of the likes of Washington, Jefferson and Franklin to do something real about the tyranny that rules us today in 2012, that is far worse than that of George III in 1776.

Dear Editor, As a CPA for over 20 years, I have a strong interest in understanding the deception causing the financial woes in this great country of ours. I felt Lucky to find this article, {The Purpose Behind Engineered Economic Collapse by Giordano Bruno} which I believe your readers will enjoy, as it makes plain the elite's goal of 'World Government'. Time well spent reading this one, for these issues are often made overly complex and impossible to understand. We are still a free enough people to take hold of our liberty and exercise it!

Respected Editor, How can we finish poverty forever and establish peace in the world forever ?
It is my sure prophecy forever that we cannot finish the poverty from world and we cannot establish the peace in world forever until we all mankind choose only one religion that is true and rightful religion near to God from various different religions of world, and then accept it by our open mind and heart, because the solution of all problems of the world is to establish only one true religion for all mankind.

Dear Sir, I am e-mailing you from Barcelona, Spain because I want Americans to know that ... many women have abortions induced by harassment and threats from their partners. However, to have their babies is less harmful for their conscience and their daily lives. According to the publication Public Health and the Semergen-06 consultation, the first cause of death in women between 30 and 34 years old is suicide caused by having had an abortion and this figure triplicates their rate of suicide. At the same time, female sexual dysfunctions may increase to 182% when compared with women who have never had an abortion and also suffer abuse from their partners.

They not only saved Butte College from serious and devastating destruction, but they protected our communities we all live in. Without their great efforts many more people would not have homes to return to, and much of our campus would not be available for providing education to those in our community. We�re very grateful for all of their help�they�re the greatest ! Sincerely, Diana Van Der Ploeg -- Butte College President -- 3536 Butte Campus Drive Oroville, CA 95965 -- (530) 895-2937

Subject: FADD Gears Up for September !
Dear Editor, My name is Robert Ybarra, Founder, Fathers Against Drunk Driving or FADD as we call it. Our mission is to reduce the alcohol related deaths on our U.S. Highways. Presently we are gearing up for Recovery Month in September. Recovery Month is an annual nationwide campaign. This event is for those of us who work with individuals that have recovered from alcohol and other drugs. Every event is focused on bringing awareness and education to our local communities. Our focus this year is going to be our Stay Alive, Don't Drink & Drive campaign. This will be our slogan for this special time of year.

Subject: Summry Parole is a Sham !
Dear Editor, I am writing you today because I am concerned with the Governors proposal of Summary Parole. This should be called No parole. This is because Summary Parole is a sham. In the proposal, it states that a person who is on Summary Parole can only be violated if they are convicted of a new felony. This makes no sense. You are not going to violate a parolee if they receive a new prison term. Why would you, they are already going to prison. This means you can't violate an individual on Summary Parolee for gang association, possession of a knife with a blade over two inches, contacting their crime victims, for drinking alcohol if they have been convicted for multiple DUI's and other technical violations which control a parolees conduct while in the community.

Subject: My Two Cents
Dear Dad, Well the court ruling is in....time for you to pack up and get out of that state! Plans are now being drawn up by military leaders to cordon off and quarantine the state of California in an effort to curb the spread of gayness throughout the country. What is our society coming to Dad ? Is this the kind of world that we are fighting and dying for in Iraq and Afghanistan? Has democracy just become a way for US corporations to come into a country and promulgate their wares? Along with freedom we will give you Starbucks and STDs. Morals will be replaced with pro-gay / pro-choice rhetoric being spewed from every television in every home. The THEORY of evolution will become the new religion.

Subject: My New Home
Dear Sir, I want to tell you about -- My New Home : I looked through the travel brochures but did not find any for the Nation of the Vatican. It is in Italy somewhere. My travel agent told me I need to write the Pope for permission to go there. I do not think that will work, I am not Catholic. The Pope seems a nice man. He wanted the U.S. to be nice to it�s Mexican visitors. If I can get past the armed guards or border patrol and the high wall all around the Vatican, the Pope will probably provide me dinner and a place to sleep.
Thanks, Karen Smith - avoanco@hughes.net

Subject: A Fair Question for the Fair Board
Dear Editor, Why would the city let the porterville fair board make the handicap card holders, park in a parking lot across the street, while they sold the regular handicap parking spaces for $35 each? Do we have to go to this extent to make money? Two Concerned Citizens.

Subject: I want my school money back !
Dear Sir, I am unhappy with the school systems. I am afraid for my child to go to public school. I do not agree with the way my tax dollar is spent on schools. I want my money back. I want my child to go to a better school, maybe a private school one safer with better education. I want my tax dollar to pay for the privilege. When the public schools receive less money, they may lear a lesson on what a bad job they are doing. I have enough money and time to transport my child and I do not qualify for welfare. I do not want the stigma of being on welfare so will you call my tax refund a School Voucher.

Subject: Who's Statistics are the anyway ?
Dear editor, Witnessing Bill Gates addressing congress made my blood boil. I have heard big business in the U.S.A wants more illegal aliens to cross the border. Mexican big business is in agreement with this policy, even helping them with funds (because they send money home which buys a lot of goods and services in Mexico). AARP was started and ran by the aged. I presume it was for the benefit. Who is in change now ? According to one of their articles, there are almost no illegal aliens on our Social Services. Are both {agencies} at odds with the U.S. citizen ? How can we, the general public, cope with this assault and stupidity ? Who has ideas or solutions ?

Subject: Maybe you can help
Dear editor, This may sound so strange but I am wondering if you can help me find a man who lives in Porterville. We met on a Carnival Mexican Riviera cruise last week and had a great time chatting. I learned a lot about him but never got his last name or phone number, I guess I thought we would run into each other again. I would love the opportubity to get to know him better. I know his first name is Steve and he works for the sherriff's department in the courthouse, he's also a big karaoke fan. I am attaching a picture. If you can help put us in contact with each other, that would be wonderfull.
Thank You, Jeanne from AZ - jeannesplace@hotmail.com
