Letters To The Editor

In the short time he has been our 24th District representative, Salud Carbajal’s performance is disappointing. He is an Obamanite through and through by not supporting the rejection of the UN resolution on Israel. He wanted to amend the bill to eliminate Obamacare in the recent House budget plans to further support the Obamanite past […]

I am one of those animal lovers and activists that you had the audacity to call a “wacko” (“The pet store project,” Jan. 19). At first I thought that surely it must have been a typographical error, so I made a call to the Sun to verify that this was the word that was used.  […]

Breathe deep, America, through the self-inflicted pain. Your people made the choice. now live with it.   Forget the Russian foreplay, if it happened, if you can, and look at your groom honestly. There is no morning after pill to make him disappear. Must you look at that face,  see that smirk, listen to that […]

I am truly grateful for our many Dana Adobe friends. Your generosity and kindness allows us, in our own small way, to introduce and inspire children by engaging them with the natural and cultural resource found at the DANA Adobe Cultural Center. One way we do that is through our educational field trips. These allow […]

Wind and solar for energy are said to be “carbon-free.” In other words, they don’t contribute to global warming. But hold on. They are both “backed up” by burning natural gas when the wind doesn’t blow and there’s no sun. According to the California Energy Commission, 30.5 percent of the natural gas burned in huge […]

The leftist tide of anti-Trump loathing and hatred has turned into a tsunami of hysteria that Michael Goodwin says is like sounding five alarms for a dumpster fire. These people are so terrified of a country without liberal progressivism that it’s no longer enough to call Trump a racist and a bigot who hates minorities. […]

Our first lady, Michelle Obama, would be ideal to replace President-elect Trump when his term is up in four years. Her great-great-grandfather was a black slave. We have come so very far since then.

If Mexico were a prosperous, safe, and peaceful neighbor like Canada, the U.S. would not need to control the border with it. But Mexico and the Central American states are out of control failed governments with drug cartels, human trafficking, and endless corruption, which is undermining the security of the U.S. of A. Like Central […]

For many of us, Christmas is our favorite time of the year—the songs, the lights, the get-togethers with family and friends exchanging gifts and enjoying scrumptious dinners. The Christian belief is that God came to earth in the person of Jesus Christ, being both God and man, which is generally believed to be why we […]

I just read your piece regarding the protest in the mall on Dec. 18 (“‘Puppy Mill’ protest erupts at Santa Maria Town Center Mall”). Your story has many inaccuracies which I would like to address.  The protest was legal and we were not kicked out by police due to handing out fliers without permission by […]

Thank you Mr. DePasquale from Cambria for supporting the establishment of the Chumash Heritage National Marine Sanctuary (“Let’s get that marine sanctuary going,” New Times, Dec. 8). I support it too. Yet, we have a more urgent local issue we need to act on now: stopping the destruction of Oceano Beach, the Arroyo Grande Creek’s […]

The debate has started again as to whether the U.S. Constitution should be amended in order to change the presidential election process. Some promote eliminating the Electoral College in favor of a direct popular vote for president while others believe the Electoral College should remain unchanged. Just as compromise solved the initial problems of the […]
