Editor’s note: The incorrect version of this letter was previously published. I understand and support the need for newspapers to present different points of view, and I’m thankful that the T-R does so. However, I feel that the column “What if We Ignore the Government?” by Andrew ...

I really enjoyed Times-Republican reporter Joe Fisher’s report Mental Health strain on our residents during COVID, derecho and politics. We are all trying to handle it in our own way. I like Paul Daniel’s statement that “Hope is not Canceled” in the lives of people who are willing to ...

There is certainly plenty of hypocrisy, fault and blame to go around with our current political parties. Both have put party before country which we as American citizens shouldn’t allow to continue. As an Independent I can cast my ballot for the better candidates rather than as a block like ...

I understand and support the need for newspapers to present different points of view, and I’m thankful that the T-R does so. However, I feel that the column “What if we ignore the government?” by Andrew Napolitano, which was published on Oct. 15, was alarmingly provocative.  There ...

Upon receipt of our property tax bill due 2020/21, we were shocked at a 20 percent increase. This, while corn, soybean, and cattle prices have been decreasing; a derecho struck and caused damage to crops, trees and structures in Marshall County; and we continue to suffer under the impact of the ...

I write in support of District 71 candidate for state representative, Tony Reed. I find Tony less of a “politician” and more of a “regular guy.” We need more of the latter. He listens to people and does not rush to judgment. He strives to understand their point of view. I find this very ...

What a sad note in the Times-Republican’s article Oct. 7. They gave a very small group of six or eight kids a very large space in their newspaper. These kids protested against a church that has put out crosses on church property for years to remember millions of aborted babies that will never ...

Dear Editor, One question for the five young women on the front page photo of the October 7, Times-Republican: Where would you be today if your mothers would have had abortions when pregnant with you?

To those who took the Tony Reed and “Vote Pro Life” signs from our front yard and the yards of two of our neighbors - you didn’t have to do that. Tony would be happy to furnish you signs and there are plenty of pro-life signs available as well. Nevertheless, we are happy you want to ...

Thomas Thurston would be a wonderful Marshall County Supervisor. Here are my top reasons to vote for Thomas Thurston: • Since Tommy started kindergarten, I have loved watching him grow from a wide-eyed, enthusiastic child to a diligent, earnest student to a responsible, hard-working and ...

For decades, Democrats have accused Republicans of wanting to eliminate or reduce Social Security. More recently, Democrats accuse Republicans of doing the same to Medicare. They also charge that Republicans wish to deny benefits to those who may have pre-existing conditions. This is a farce. ...

For years I’ve been hearing about votes Joni Ernst has made in the Senate, almost always the wrong votes in my view. Last night in the debate with Theresa Greenfield, Joni tried to repeatedly emphasize doing things in a bipartisan manner, that she has done bipartisan bills and she will ...

If anything will bring our country down, it will be the laggards in the high and upper income groups of our society who pay no taxes.  These “citizens” often have the attitude that they are wiser and more competent than those of us who actually take responsibility and annually pay our ...

After listening to so much disagreement about who is to blame for all the current issues in our country today, particularly schools, I felt compelled to put a few random thoughts onto paper. Foolish leaders are blaming either the left or right for everything rather than working out a ...

With all due respect for the passing of Justice Joan Ruth Bader Ginsburg, there are many tributes. Upon admiring her strength for some time and even purchasing her workout book, it’s important to me to share a few thoughts. For many who experience this somber day and think — other than ...

Thank you to law enforcement personnel and staff, fire fighting personnel and staff, medical workers, school personnel and staff, veterans. Because of you and many others, I am able to enjoy a safe, good life.

In the Sept. 16 Times-Republican, Connie Schultz’s article on another revelation, another layer of grief. She blames President Trump for down-playing the virus. I am glad he did, even with playing it down, there was a rush on buying up just about everything in the supermarket. It took ...

You citizens of Chicago, are you ready for round two? I am Rev. Charles Abraham Albin. One week has passed since I stood here and preached about a loving God who wants you to be part of His kingdom. I want to tell you of His plan of salvation for all mankind - all who would choose it, that ...

Our purpose is to serve customers and build strong communities, and it guides our work every day. Just over one month ago - following the derecho storm on August 10 — our purpose truly came to life. The storm brought devastation few have ever seen in the Midwest. More than a quarter of a ...

As our country faces both a public health and a looming economic crisis, access to affordable prescription drugs is more important than ever. Unfortunately, as drug prices continue to rise, the pharmaceutical industry is attempting to dismantle one program that ensures access to low-cost ...
