Letters to Editor
Letter: Vaccinations should be enforced
October 22, 2017, 6:00 AM
The public is entitled to protection from those who disregard common health practices. It is the duty of the state to promote and protect the general health. “Protecting the public’s health across the state is a fundamental responsibility of the state.” (RCW 43.70.512.)
Letter: Say ‘no’ to big business in election
October 22, 2017, 6:00 AM
In accepting yet another six-figure contribution from big oil interests, port commission candidate Kris Greene has given our community a substantial opportunity. What is it? A chance to draw a solid line in the sand that says "yell, no!" We will no longer allow big business with its endless deep pockets to hijack our elections.
Letter: Help environment, stop idling
October 22, 2017, 6:00 AM
Letter-writer Stephen Kingsbury ("Idling engines pollute air," Oct. 18) is correct, but he didn't mention one of the main sources of the pollution problem in Southwest Washington: the I-5 Bridge.
Letter: Support peaceful protests
October 22, 2017, 6:00 AM
In regard to the NFL players' peaceful protest, this has nothing to do with disrespecting our country's flag, military or anthem. This is a protest of racial injustice for non-white citizens of our country. For some of these team owners to drink the poison Kool-Aid made by our president, it will be bad for our country and their business.
Letter: Herrera Beutler should listen
October 22, 2017, 6:00 AM
Much has been written lately about Rep. Jaime Herrera Beutler, R-Battle Ground, and her lack of response to her constituents and lack of communication.
Letter: Protests should be on own time
October 22, 2017, 6:00 AM
I'm not watching any more NFL games! When Tim Tebow is basically drummed out of the NFL for taking a knee in prayer in the end zone after scoring a touchdown, but these overpaid ingrates are coddled for their disrespectful kneel-downs during the national anthem, something has to be done. It's no different than disciplining a mouthy child.
Letter: Options are available
October 22, 2017, 6:00 AM
In response to Philip S. Parker’s letter, “Options should be kept open” (Oct. 19), there are centers where women can learn about their options when facing unwanted pregnancies. One is Birthright, at 360-694-8156, and another is Options 360°, at 360-567-0285. Options 360° is in Vancouver, as well as Battle Ground. Both organizations offer counseling, education, and pregnancy tests. Abortion is not the only choice.
Letter: Freedom is two-way street
October 21, 2017, 6:00 AM
It seems that everyone agrees that the NFL players have a right to kneel.
Letter: Support levy lift for fire district
October 21, 2017, 6:00 AM
I live in Clark County Fire District 3 and have been following the fire levy lid lift that has been proposed.
Letter: Choose Greenwald in Ridgefield
October 21, 2017, 6:00 AM
Join me in re-electing Becky Greenwald for the Ridgefield School Board.
Letter: Support Orange for port
October 21, 2017, 6:00 AM
The Port of Vancouver commissioner race is not about family values.
Letter: Support pool in Woodland
October 21, 2017, 6:00 AM
My husband and I moved to Woodland 26 years ago.
Letter: Praise is misguided
October 21, 2017, 6:00 AM
As letter-writer Ray Gilbert "thanks God" for patriots Donald Trump and Mike Pence ("Thank God for Trump, Pence," Oct. 15, Our Readers' Views), neither of whom served in the military, I am hopeful he doesn't bump his head as he rises from kneeling after showing his respect to the Almighty.
Letter: Peacemakers wanted
October 21, 2017, 6:00 AM
Peacemakers are desperately needed in the Opinions section of The Columbian, on the street and in private and public places worldwide.
