Letters to the Editor
Dear Editor: Jean Brown and I were political opposites, but we were also neighbors and friends. Countless times we would stop and chat in the aisles of the grocery store just catching up on the news of the day. She exemplified the civility that used to be characteristic of Virginia public life. I will miss…
Dear Editor: The Loudoun County Board of Supervisors’ resolution last week urging Delegate Dave LaRock to resign was a purely political stunt, a direct violation by the Democrats of their individually signed Ethics Policy, and two violations of their own Rules of Order, which each one of them agreed to at their first meeting in…
Dear Editor: I’m writing this from the perspective of two days after a violent mob attacked the United States Capitol, resulting in several deaths, significant damage to our Capitol building, and irreparable damage to the stature of the United States. This mob was driven by the spread of lies. Lies that were spread intentionally, for…
Dear Editor: At a recent Loudoun County Board of Supervisors meeting earlier this month, a motion was passed to rename Rt. 50 John Singleton Mosby Highway to another name which does not celebrate a “traitor” as stated by Vice Chairman Koran T. Saines. It seems as though the members of the board have been “Cherry-picking”…
Dear Editor: To those of us who live in Bluemont, and to those organizations who support this small, historic village in the westernmost part of Loudoun County, it is time to wake up, and not by the 15,000 lights currently illuminating the side of the Blue Ridge Mountains next to us. The recent commencement of…
Dear Editor: America faces challenging times as a nation. This is a time to unify and protect our neighbors, our economy, and our nation. This is not a time for partisan bickering. Aliscia Andrews brings the priorities of a mom, a community volunteer, and a Marine who appreciates our nation and the sacrifices necessary to…
Dear Editor: I grew up in Loudoun when Round Hill was still a small, sleepy farming town. People had political differences, but we operated from a common set of facts learned from the same newspapers, and the same network TV coverage. Today, we need to work harder to reach outside our cable news, talk radio,…
Dear Editor: Voting has started and election day will arrive swiftly. “We the people” are charged to select the civil servant who will represent us in the U.S. Senate. This is a crucial election, and control of the Senate is at stake. Our choice will clearly reveal the values, and morals of the residents of…
Dear Editor: Before we know it, the future of our nation will be decided. President Trump has officially been running for office since Feb 2017 so, yes, I am exhausted by all the rallies. I hope that I can contribute to the discourse by endorsing, as a retired library assistant and ordinary voter, Joe Biden,…
Dear Editor: When I moved from California to Virginia thirty-four years ago, I knew I was moving to a “red state”. To be honest, it didn’t even factor into my decision because politics in the ’80s wasn’t the blood sport it seems to be today. Truthfully, I was more of a moderate Democrat – happy…
