To the Editor, I was heartbroken and outraged to read that a Transphobic bill erroneously called “Protect All Students Act,” was signed into law on Tuesday by Republican Governor Mike Dewine. The only students that this bill pretends to protect are heterosexual students, as this bill is hostile to the legal civil rights of LGBTQ+ […]

Letter to the Editor: Vote for Jim Jordan
After seeing a political ad stating that “Jim Jordan is not good for farmers” because he voted NO on all the farm bills, I was reminded of an event I attended several years ago following the severe flooding in Shelby. Jim Jordan was at the event and I had the opportunity to speak with him […]

Letter to the Editor: Vote for Issue 1
Regarding the Richland Source article, “Ohio to decide on proposed Citizens Redistricting Commission with Issue 1 vote,” I’m hopeful that Issue 1 is passed with a majority YES vote from Ohio residents. Issue 1 is a bipartisan citizen commission that will have Democrats, Republicans, and Independents lending an equal voice to drawing new congressional maps. […]

Letter to the Editor: The future of our freedoms & economy is at stake
I have written before about this election. I write because I am concerned about my country, its people, and future generations. If you wonder what will become of our freedoms and economy under a Trump, Vance, Moreno, and Jordan administration, just look at Turkey. Under Erdogan’s leadership Turkey’s once proud democracy has become an authoritarian […]

Letter to the Editor: Voting for Trump is nearsighted
“It’s the economy stupid,” was a phrase coined by James Carville in the ’92 presidential election. Many who are voting for Trump are doing so because of the economy. Those voting for Trump because they believe he is best for their own financial situations are not seeing the bigger picture. Unfortunately, they are fixated on […]

Letter to the Editor: Take a moment to appreciate our workers on Labor Day
Labor Day, a federal holiday dating back to Sept. 5, 1882, was officially signed into law on July 28, 1884, by President Grover Cleveland. This was a significant achievement for American workers, who were given the first Monday in September off from work. Labor Day is not just a day off. It is a reminder […]

Letter to the Editor: Sherrod Brown must be defeated in November
The July 31 Ashland/Richland Source article from U.S. Sen. Sherrod Brown’s office should have been titled “Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching, Cha-Ching,” not “Infrastructure investment has an impact in Ohio.” The piece also shows why Democrat Brown should be defeated this November in his bid to be reelected as a U.S. Senator from Ohio. Brown’s right when writing […]

Letter to the Editor: We shoud embrace the unique qualities of our children
As a mom to four children, I leave learned over the years that no matter how “fair” we are with our children, how similarly we raise them and set expectations for them, or how much we push them, they are all beautifully, uniquely, and curiously different. Their preferences, the mannerisms, the dreams, their strengths, and […]

Letter to the Editor: Biden possesses what America needs in difficult times
Yes, President Biden is old, but…. Let’s put the issue of Biden’s age aside for a minute and ask more important questions. Does he possess the character and the virtues we want to see in our president, and does he respect our laws and long-established norms of proper conduct? Is he honorable in his speech […]
