Calling for new representation

At this critical time in American History, I write to advocate for new representation in the U.S. House of Representatives. Below are three of the many reasons why Bill Johnson must go: 1) Bill Johnson has voted to repeal the Affordable Care Act which would have adversely affected millions of Americans. 2) On 16 July 2018 in Helsinki, on an INTERNATIONAL stage and against the findings of at least 16 U.S. Intelligence agencies, Donald Trump accepted the word of Russian President Putin (against whom he’s never spoken an ill word) that Russia was not involved in attempts to influence ...

The Right Path wraps up 19th year The Right Path for Washington County wrapped up an incredible 19 years with swim parties and mini farmer’s markets for youth and families.

The fight is against public education and teachers, the rights of LGBTQ citizens and other ...

The entire article attempted to paint Mr. Vance and Senator Cruz in a negative light. One glaring example of this is that you stated “[J.D. Vance] spent most of his life in San Francisco.” This is so blatantly not true that I felt compelled to set the record straight. Here is a brief summary of J.D. Vance’s life: ∫ Born and raised in Middletown, Ohio. ∫ Graduated from Middletown High School in ...

Lyin’ Ted Cruz is coming to Marietta? Is that the best the local GOP can do? Or do they think sleazy sleazebag Ted exemplifies what the party should aspire to? SMH. Roger O. Young Marietta

Monday, September 26, intelligent NASA experts and scientists, engineers at Johns Hopkins University slammed a golf cart-sized object into an asteroid far from earth. It was a test to see if humans might change the direction of an asteroid. Might one be averted from slamming into earth in the future? It was an exercise of good intentions conducted by intelligent Americans. Can the planet be saved from total devastation - no matter when that threat comes? On the same day, Vladimir of Russia threatens the existence of the earth with nuclear war since his inept military cannot conquer ...
