Conservatives attack pro-choice again

DEAR EDITOR: Ohio’s Republican legislators are again trying to override the will of voters by initiating yet another attempt to override abortion rights. Less than two years ago, we overwhelmingly passed Issue 1, which was an initiative for which Ohioans collected signatures to place a constitutional amendment on the ballot. Voters approved it by a ratio of 56 to 44 percent, which indicated that a majority of people including Democratic, Republican and Independent voters wanted this amendment. Frankly, I am sick of legislators who show us repeatedly that they care nothing about ...

Spam calls simply must be stopped

DEAR EDITOR: I’m on the do not call list. Yet for months I’ve been getting spam calls. I get 5 to 7 a day. I don’t answer them. If you are selling something, I don’t want it. Nor will you get any information from me to empty my bank account. I’ll get a call from North Canton. Half hour later, a call from Texas. Then a call from Shreves. You think I don’t know you are working for the same company? Why doesn’t the phone company stop selling blocked numbers? Why can’t the FCC stop this annoyance? To private contractors working for companies, I don’t answer the call ...

When will war finally become obsolete?

DEAR EDITOR: No doubt this slice of national and world history we are experiencing now resembles those of the past. As Dean Koontz described it in one of his novels, “In spite of the towering cities and…the science-fiction technology made real, the moment is fragile, the foundation undermined.” With all the wisdom and science imparted upon us in the 20th Century, why are we at this crossroads again? Dr. Carl Sagan wrote, “From Gettysburg to the blockbuster bombs of WW II, a thousand times more explosive energy; from the blockbuster to the atomic bomb, a thousand times more; ...

Thank you to our newspaper carriers

DEAR EDITOR: I wrote and blessed the new sheriff. Now I would like to thank the Tribune Chronicle newspaper carriers that come out and deliver before daylight six days a week. They are a blessing that needs to be recognized. Thank them all. CHARLES THOMAS Southington

Sound off!

We’re going to celebrate more Section 8 housing in Warren? You’ve got to be kidding! Call it the Emerson slum! TNP, quit degrading NW Warren! Will we see Garfield, Devon, McKinley slum housing projects too on the EAST side? Protest this project at Emerson school on July 2. — Warren I am compelled to write this because I know Fox News won’t cover the real news: Japan’s trade relations negotiating team just broke ties with the Trump Administration over Trump’s constantly changing positions and lack of character. This “Trump Effect” is a scary global trend. Trump is not ...

Not everyone has freedom of speech

DEAR EDITOR: In comment to a letter by Suellen Roberts in the May 24-25 weekend edition of The Vindicator about freedom of speech being trampied: She was blaming Trump for freedom of speech disappearing, but it was disappearing long before Trump was president. It disappeared long ago for conservatives, but liberals can say whatever they want. Last year during pride month, Madonna Chism Pinkard was fired from a local tv station for saying “Why not have straight pride month?” What about her freedom of speech? if someone in her position was a liberal they can say whatever they want ...
