LETTER: Congress tries to remove a member for speaking out

It used to be that Congress operated within the bounds of the Constitution. That is sadly no longer the case. Congress is now not a safe place to speak one’s viewpoint. Case in point: freshman Rep. Marjorie Taylor Green, whose statements regarding a number of issues have upset Democrats. So in violation of Rep. Green’s First Amendment rights, they are trying to expel her even though she was legally voted into the office by the people of her district. But Democrats want her out for stating a viewpoint with which they disagree.

I am not sure that everything Rep. Green proclaims is true. But I would fight for her right to express her viewpoint in Congress, in the media, on social platforms and anywhere in this country. Americans have the right to free speech. At least they used to in Congress.

LETTER: Jurors have an easy job in Hunter Biden case

The evidence is crystal clear, compelling and truthful — and there are self-incriminating comments made by Hunter himself. It is a slam dunk.

LETTER: On the Oakland A’s

What are we wasting our money on? There are myriad and better places here to use the money we will save.

LETTER: Desalination, yes

But, the only new pipelines needed would be from the desalination plants to the reservoirs or canals.
