Farm country supports Fischbach

To the Editor: In his Feb. 14 letter, Dennis Phelps attacks our U.S. Representative Michelle Fischbach for “not aligning herself with our liberal and socialist governor and U.S. Senators.” I would remind him that Michelle is a Republican, who in 2020 easily upset Collin Peterson, a 30-year U.S. Representative. Had Fischbach ran as a liberal and/or socialist, she would not be our congresswoman. Her 7th district constituents seem very pleased with her. In 2022 she won a second term by destroying three other candidates with 67% of the vote. It is clear that Mr. Phelps has TDS ...

We need change, get involved

To the editor: The current crop of politicians with the majority in St Paul are more concerned about power, control, their personal careers and the benefits that come with their positions than they are for the citizens they represent. Meanwhile, we as citizens are being forced to endure whatever collateral damage their policies and mandates cause. Laying blame on anyone other than ourselves for this is cowardly. You must get involved and actively commit time and energy to research the candidates you will be casting your vote for. Get involved in vetting and choosing candidates ...

Fischbach alternative view of universe

To the Editor: We in southwest Minnesota enjoy a remarkable situation by having a representative in Congress who does not need to align herself with the liberal, socialist leadership of our governor or either of our two United States Senators. As such, she continues to bring us her alternative view of the universe by allowing a former disgraced office holder to be the “tail wagging the dog” in most of her decision making. One of her most recent email updates to her constituents detailed another “trip to the border” to exploit failed policies by the present administration. ...

Time for Biden, supporters to face reality

To the editor: Just to bring all those who are still reading or listening to fake news, we need to bring you up to speed. Yesterday (Feb. 8) a Department of Justice prosecutor, who after an extensive investigation on Biden’s handling of classified documents when he was a senator and later, vice president determined violations had occurred . Just a note — no one except the president has authority to remove any documents. The left leaning prosecutor determined that Biden disclosed information on his illegally obtained documents with a ghostwriter who was in the process of writing ...

Its not classified docs you should be worried about

To the editor: President Biden will not be charged for any wrongdoing in the mishandling of classified documents. The reason is not because he is innocent, but rather because he is considered feeble-minded due to his age. He cannot remember significant events in his personal history, including the death of his son, the years he served as Vice President, and the fact that he is no longer in that role. This raises serious questions about his fitness to run the country. If he is not currently in charge, one might wonder who is. It is speculated that it is not Vice President Kamala ...

Attend new flag presentation

To the editor: Re: Minnesota’s state flag question should end in a public vote Feb. 3 Mr. (Jim) Muchlinski and all area residents will be pleased to know that our local libraries and historical societies recognized the need for the public to be more informed about the new state flag and seal, how and why they were created, and the implementation process. Several of them reached out to me requesting a public presentation on this important topic. I served as the vice-chair of the State Emblems Redesign Commission, the committee created by the state legislature to design a new flag ...
