							Controversial issues: 
							
							
							As a 
							community we need to be able to talk openly about 
							matters that affect the quality of our lives. The 
							most effective and least offensive manner to get 
							your point across is to stick to the issue 
							and refrain from commenting on another person's 
							opinion. Letters that deviate from focusing on the 
							issue may be rejected or edited and marked as such.

            | To the editor: Joe Biden and 
			Congress recently have given us funds to help us pay our bills, to 
			help parents pay for day care, to help our schools make needed 
			repairs, to extend internet connectivity, and to make Covid testing 
			and vaccinations available to all. Republicans tried but failed to 
			stop Democrats from providing these benefits. Because midterm 
			elections are coming this fall Republicans now are determined to 
			block further Democratic initiatives, e.g., a bill to insure that 
			women will not be forced to tailor their health care to fit 
			limitations prescribed by someone else’s religion. The time has come 
			for us to tell our Republican legislators to get out of the way of 
			further Democratic efforts to protect our rights and to improve our 
			lives.
