Pass the SSI Savings Penalty Elimination Act

To the editor: I attended the Dec. 13 town hall meeting at the New UIm Library with Senator Dahms and Representative Torkelson. I was curious to hear the issues people have concerns about. I missed a chance to bring up an issue of interest concerning people with disabilities, but it’s not a state issue. It’s an issue that is already known by the U.S. Senate and the House. My insomnia triggered my brain’s mini computer to think about the days events and I recalled Congressman Torkelson saying he gets Social Security so it got me thinking. Would SSA take social security away from ...

The right to life

To the editor: The Declaration of Independence states we all have unalienable rights, and among these are life and liberty. Governments must preserve all of these rights to preserve life we must not cause murder. We have no right to take another’s life; even the life of the old and feeble; even the life of an unborn child. This right to life is not negotiable This right is absolute and natural. Even the old and unborn have this right That cannot be taken away or denied. Don’t pretend abortion is birth control or somehow promotes reproductive health DNA proves a fetus is new life; ...

No one has the right to kill another person

To the editor: I am writing in reference to the syndicated columnist, Froma Harrop, who wrote an article entitled, “Republicans can’t do anything about the abortion issue”, printed in the New Ulm Journal on Nov. 15. On Nov. 22, Katie Dauer from Springfield wrote a rebuttal to that letter. I know it’s been several weeks since these letters were printed, but it needs to be addressed. It is worth your while to pull them up online and reread them. Katie Dauer did a bang up job setting Froma Harrop straight. Life begins at conception and no one has the right to kill another ...

America in decline

To the editor: We the American people have to wake up. We can’t have Biden have another four-year term. I can’t believe how things have deteriorated in the last two years and 11 months. Biden says he needs another four years to complete what he is going to do in the first four years. He doesn’t need another four years. He already accomplished it in two years and 11 months. He is the most corrupt president we have had in. American history and the biggest liar. Here is what he has accomplished in two years and 11 months: Wide open borders, people just walking across the river ...

Free money?

To the editor: The Saturday/Sunday Nov. 25-26 issue of The Journal featured a front page article about $14 million approved by the City Council for capital improvements at their recent meeting. I’m not writing to debate the merits of the projects. Capital expenditures are always necessary whether in business or government. How those projects are funded varies. The author of the article does a good job of explaining the location and costs of the projects. I do however, take exception to the last sentence of the second paragraph. I quote “With these two funding sources, there will ...

Dear Congressman, Finstad: Stop Ukraine funding until all past funding accounted for

To the editor: Under no circumstances should the United States continue to support the Ukraine until such time as all funding is traced and accounted for — this includes Bio Labs, kickbacks to U.S. lawmakers and (Ukraine President Volodymyr) Zelensky interests that are far outside the perimeters of Americans who earned this money and have been betrayed by our Government. We appreciate the redirection that Mike Johnson is taking the country but at the same time America demands answers. America will hold Congress accountable, and I will add some of the violations go beyond our own ...
