  • 9-23 Letters: your views
    Citizen: Trust lands, money should go back to owners
    To the Editor:
    American taxpayers cannot afford to pay for more government agencies to be created, especially when the programs already in place are not working. The government does not provide adequate health care for our veterans and troops today. So the government should not offer health care for everyone.

  • Some refuse to learn
    Some refuse to learn
    To the Editor:
    It’s ironic that David Gerard defines himself in his column (“People don’t quote ignorance line that matters most,” Sept. 3 2009, The Edmond Sun).

  • AT&T shines as an example for others
    To the Editor:
    Thanks so much for publishing the story on AT&T’s contributions in Oklahoma and across the nation.

  • Town hall meeting misinformation must stop
    To the Editor:
    I take issue with Mickey Hepner’s child-like comments about the participants in the town hall meetings (“This is a time for reason, not anger,” The Edmond Sun, Saturday, Aug. 15, 2009).

  • HOPE Center is not a dumping ground
    To the Editor:
    I am a volunteer at the HOPE Center and very proud of the organization. There is a growing problem and I was wondering if you could bring it to the attention of the community.

  • It’s time for states to work together
    To the Editor:
    Our Rep. Jason Murphey seems to have forgotten the scary mess inherited by the president and the drastic measures indicated to get things back on track.

  • Silent no more
    To the Editor:
    As I agonize over the daily deterioration of this once glorious and freedom-loving United States of America, I search for understanding of how we reached this point of our decline! I think of the old adage: “All it takes for evil is for good people to do nothing.”

  • Hospital appreciates community support
    To the Editor:
    On behalf of the employees of Edmond Medical Center, I would like to say thank you for your thoughtful coverage of the passing of our CEO Tayo Fichtl.

  • Thank you for protecting our children
    To the Editor:
    Parents all across the country can feel safer knowing that Big Tobacco will no longer be able to prey on children with despicable and manipulative marketing practices, thanks to recent actions by the president and Congress.

  • Let Texas pay: Oklahoma’s water provides opportunity
    After reading the article, “City Looks at Water Options,” it is clear Oklahoma must address the lack of water infrastructure if we stand any chance to make sure Edmond can meet its water needs for the balance of this century. Oklahoma has plenty of water — more than 10 times the amount we use, with the rest just flowing downstream into Arkansas and Texas.

  • The real Hepner

  • Touch-A-Truck event exceeds expectations
    I would like to offer my sincere gratitude to the organizers, volunteers and participants of the Edmond “Touch-A-Truck” day on May 16 in the east parking lot at the University of Central Oklahoma.

  • Letter distorts dairy facts
    I wanted to be sure you were aware that a recent letter to the editor (“Ignoring the Risks Harms Society,” Letters, The Edmond Sun, May 21, 2009) was possibly not an original letter, and is in fact part of a letter writing campaign that just may be against your publication’s editorial policy.

  • Vegan letter misleading
    Last week’s letter to the editor promoting a vegan diet and blaming animal agriculture for the H1N1 influenza virus, multiple human health issues and environmental problems was misleading and filled with falsehoods.

  • Letter to Obama discourages reader
    To the Editor:
    The “Open Letter to President Obama” written by Lee V. Rose and published May 21 in The Edmond Sun, evoked some strong feelings in me — feelings of amazement, deep sadness and discouragement.

  • Ignoring familiar risks harms society
    The stark contrast between our frenzied reaction to unfamiliar hazards and our reckless tolerance of familiar ones never ceases to amaze me.

  • Former professor decries president's actions
    An open letter to Mr. Obama:
    You are the president of the United States, but you do not represent me.

  • Team salutes veterans
    Another Memorial Day is approaching, a time to remember all military veterans.

  • Nick’s Law parents set record straight
    As the parents who have been at the forefront in trying to obtain health-care coverage for the 6,500-plus children in our state with autism and who helped write Nick’s Law, we would like to set the record straight on this legislation.

  • Were tea parties really so non-partisan?
    In “Locals protest at tea party,” (April 16, 2009, The Edmond Sun), the story features the protest rally held at the state Capitol April 15.

  • To right-wing extremist from a moderate
    Republicans aren’t the only people who believe in God. Remember, My God is a loving God. My God loves all people.

  • Colorado couple thanks local firefighters
    On Dec. 23, my lovely bride — Jane Ann — and I were on the home stretch, a mere 30 minutes from reaching her parents’ home in Bethany for our annual Christmas visit, when our car began to swerve and shake.

  • After Prom cancellation irksome
    When I first learned about the fundraising efforts of Edmond high schools, I was so impressed with the students’, parents’ and community’s generosity and commitment to helping others. But when I read about the cancellation of the Edmond high school After Prom event due to lack of funding and student/parent involvement, it really irked me.

  • Maybe not so arrogant afterall
    Our president calls us “arrogant” and I suppose that’s true.
