A right to work for less money

Anonymous THE GOSHEN NEWS The Goshen News Sat Jan 26, 2013, 08:00 AM EST

Wisconsin GOP Gov. Scout Walker declared war on the middle class working folks and almost got thrown out of office, the rich saved him.

Indiana GOP Gov. Mitch Daniels saw how Walker won and declared war on the middle class working folks and won.

Michigan GOP Gov. Rick Snyder saw how they won and lied to the people and did an about-face and declared war on the middle class working folks and won.

On Dec. 7,1941 Japanese Admiral Isorku Yamanoku declared war and won temporarily, and he said we awoke a sleeping giant.

I have been a union member all my working life and still am even in retirement.

I have seen employers mistreat workers in non-union companies. I also know how unions take advantage of spineless companies.

Collective bargaining is a answer and it is dead for now. Wake up American workers.

As our president said, what they’re talking about is giving you the right to work for less money. I add also with less safety and poorer working conditions.

Remember the amnesty law of ’86?
The “Gang of Eight” U.S. Senate members have drafted an immigration bill that’s worse then the amnesty bill signed into law by Ronald Reagan in 1986. S. 744 gives those here illegally instant Registered Provisional Immigrant status, which means they are free from being deported if they register for amnesty.

Don’t ignore signs of someone contemplating suicide
Everyone has issues that they have to deal with in their lives. It’s when we become overwhelmed and our issues become so drastic that they are unbearable that the results can be catastrophic. Suicide is a desperate attempt to escape suffering that has become unbearable.

Goshen should stick with ‘Redskins’
I must respond to the letter to the editor from Mr. Ron Chupp (The Goshen News, May 9). What’s in a name, Mr. Chupp? I too have a Native American heritage, and for some reason, I am not offended by the term Redskins, or brown skins or any other color of skins.

More important issues than a nickname
I would like to, in the most respectful way possible, respond to Mr. Chupp’s letter (The Goshen News, May 9) regarding the ongoing debate over the term “Redskins” being used as the nickname and mascot for the Goshen school system.

There is hope through God
May I share what happened to me after praying about the issue of whether to have guns carried by school authorities at Goshen High School. While calling out to God, my question was: Why have we as a nation come to trusting in government agencies, such as Homeland Security, rather than obeying the Constitution in what you have declared through our forefathers?

Sheriff has this reader's support
This letter is in defense of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, and in response to Shari Mellin’s letter (The Goshen News, May 8) about Sheriff Brad Rogers not obeying the laws related to anti-gun legislation

‘Redskins’ nickname is offensive
The question posed (in the May 5 edition) was, “What’s in a Name?” In the case of the GHS (Redskins) mascot, it is insult, degradation, racism, and an ongoing slap-in-the face reminder of the disgusting manner in which my Native American ancestors were treated by Europeans.
