Letter to the Editor: Perth Amboy Democratics

I am very happy that Fernando Gonzalez won. I  know that Wilda Diaz and Kevin McCabe were all about getting rid of Leslie. It was all about revenge, not the vote, not the alleged voter fraud. Wilda Diaz has been trying to get rid of Leslie since she won the 2nd election. At one of […]

Securing Social Security  The real danger to Social Security are those politicians and lobbyists who want to destroy the Social Security program while claiming they want to save it. This goes back thirty years when Reagan signed a law to tax Social Security benefits even though people paid tax on their contributions during their working life. Another […]

Letter to the Editor: Remember Our MIA’s & POW’s

Lately with all the talk about our President not requiring our armies to protect our country, it seems fit to speak of those MIA’s and POW’s who never returned home from defending our country.  Obama deems it necessary to confront other countries and denounce us to them.  At the present, he is on an apology […]

Letter to the Editor: Gadflies or Good Guys? by David Caba

Letter to the Editor: An Expensive Hole in the Ground

Should the Port Authority Agency build a new billion dollar tunnel beneath the Hudson River? NO. This new tunnel would be used to mostly transport people in the morning and afternoon, for maybe six out of twenty-four hours. It could not be used to transport anything else, the way bridges do. Would that be an […]

Letter to the Editor

Disarming the Police? One letter claimed Britain is a “much safer society where the police do not carry guns”, but no statistics were given to support that claim! He failed to mention Canada or the European continent. How many believe we would be safer with a disarmed police? I read that Canada has a higher […]

Gun Control Facts The 1968 Gun Control Act had many sections copied from the Nazi law of 1938. No one denies that fact. What was the purpose of the 1968 GCA? It did NOT reduce the number of violent deaths by firearms (suicides and murders), they grew from 15,000 in 1968 to 30,000 in 1993; […]
