    Obama's promises are shallow (video, letter)

    I thought we'd heard everything regarding President Barack Obama's promises. Obamacare: The cost of health insurance will decrease. Instead, annual premiums are higher and Democrats call it a train wreck.

    Climate change letter is misleading (video, letter)

    We cannot afford to accept arguments like those in John Bittman's letter, 'Looking for facts on climate change' (May 10), on this overwhelming and urgent issue.

    Letters: Lawmakers, please meet often with voters

    Has anyone else noticed that few federal or state legislators are holding listening sessions? Once a staple of public life, our elected representatives — who are accountable to us, the people — are ignoring a critical part of their jobs.

    Letters: The president is the enemy

    I am at a loss to understand the mindset of those who blindly continue to support President Barack Obama: The obvious failure of his Obamacare act, his drive to add more and more people to the welfare rolls, his insistence on keeping people on unemploymen

    Letters: Be open, not defensive, on religion

    In regards to the letter asking us to stand up and make our voices heard for Christianity, remember that we have ours too. The BTK killer was a Lutheran. Timothy McVeigh, the bomber of the federal building in Oklahoma, was Roman Catholic.

    Silver Pen letter: Definition of traditional marriage matters

    If discussions regarding same-sex couples are to be more rational, words that unnecessarily inflame emotions need to be addressed. An analogy illustrates the problem.

    Letters: Parish will miss Father Dave

    He has a million-dollar smile and heart as big as Manhattan. He has the most beautiful singing voice and fantastic sense of humor. He has a unique way of touching hearts of the old, the young and those in between. He is the Rev.

    Bike lanes help keep everyone safe (video, letter)

    I served on the Appleton Trail Advisory Committee for 15 years, 12 as its chairman. In the early years of the committee, our efforts were primarily in the development of off-road trails.

    Letters: Full investigation needed on Benghazi

    During the first two hours of the Benghazi attack, the White House and the State Department were informed that the diplomatic mission was under attack. At that time, no one knew how long the attack or attacks would last — one hour, one day or many days.

    Letters: Medicaid funding isn't worth it

    The proposed Medicaid expansion would be a bad deal for the citizens of Wisconsin. The idea of adding more people to the Medicaid rolls and expecting that the federal government will continue to pay for 90 percent of the program cost is a fool's choice.

    Replace your worn-out flags (video, letter)

    While driving around the Fox Valley, I have noticed a disturbing trend with regard to the U.S. flag. Many companies are displaying flags that are tattered, torn and worn beyond usefulness.

    Letters: Junk food bill isn't necessary

    We hear a great deal from candidates about burdensome government regulation and how it especially hampers small business. Certainly, some regulation is necessary to create the rules of the road to keep society and commerce running honestly.

    Silver Pen letter: Prison isn't the answer for drunk drivers

    We are disturbed that Rep. Jim Ott and Sen. Alberta Darling are proposing a bill that would increase the punishment for repeated drunk driving arrests to include prison time rather than using treatment or diversion programs.

    Seeing the bright side of big recycling bins (video, letter)

    Like most Appletonians, I was surprised by the arrival of the massive wheeled recycling cart that was delivered to my driveway a few weeks ago. I moaned, I complained, I whined and then I discovered something — I'm filling it up every two weeks.

    I read Rep. Jim Steineke's letter 'The Budget Bill and Education.' Usually, I need a grain of salt first. Lately, I need a cup.

    Letters: Give parents a choice on schools

    I find many of the statements opposing school choice to be filled with errors, repetition and little concern for our effort aimed at truth. Jackie Nider's May 3 letter to Post-Crescent Media is an example. She references Sen. Mike Ellis, saying,

    Terrorism is a fact. Too often it seems to originate with radical Islam. How many new converts come from our prisons? Are some now coming come from the military?
