Editorial Page Editor Greg Kesich’s March 6 Telegram column, “Green energy the way to fight Putin” (Page D2), is spot on. Let’s pull out all the stops on a “peace offensive” against Putin and use our economic strength to stop his military invasion. We need to impose the nonmilitary equivalent of a “no-fly” zone because […]

Letter to the editor: Stop funding Russia’s war through oil purchases
How can the admirable and needed concern about addressing climate change in the future be more important than the lives of people in Ukraine today? We should invest in expanded domestic oil production right now and figure out how to reduce that demand over time, while purchasing no oil from Russia. How can our sanctions […]
Letter to the editor: Fossel column neglects what Biden had to deal with
I cannot believe that Jim Fossel would scrutinize President Biden’s foreign policy in a negative scenario in his March 6 Telegram column, especially since we had four years of a “do nothing” president who wasted time playing “footsie” with that dangerous dictator and adopting no foreign policy during his time in office. Any president who […]
Letter to the editor: Big Energy shifting blame for spiking fuel costs
So gas and heating oil keep going through the roof based on the world market, but nobody questions the knee-jerk reaction of blaming the supply chain?

Letter to the editor: Pain at the pump? Our problems could be worse

Letter to the editor: Bible offers something for skeptics, believers alike
In the Holy Bible there is something for everyone. There is room for skepticism. There is assurance for the believers. There is the sure testimony of those who were eyewitnesses. There is room for doubt among the followers and observers of the miracles. Not everyone who was there came away from encounters with Jesus Christ […]
Letter to the editor: Condemn Russian leaders but offer support to innocent citizens
In the northwest corner of Russia, on the shore of the White Sea, lies the city of Archangel. It’s several times larger than Portland and has much cooler temperatures. Bandy, or hockey with a ball, is a popular sport. Like Portland, it has a fishing industry, an art museum and a teaching hospital. It has […]
Letter to the editor: Ukrainians fight for freedom as Americans protest safety measures
Re: “Convoy makes 2 loops around D.C. Beltway” (March 7, Page A2): What a shameful contrast between the fight for freedom in Ukraine and the one supposedly for freedom in America. While Ukrainians courageously put their lives on the line to block convoys of invading tanks and save their country from an unwarranted and vicious […]
Letter to the editor: Portland nonprofit offers lifeline for Ukraine
Mainers can help the Ukrainian people by donating unused medical supplies to Partners for World Health.
