Dear Editor,
I appreciate The Standard News addressing what is happening in Kingman that is being affected by what is happening nationwide. That we don’t stick our heads in the sand and act as if we don’t know what is happening and are out of touch.
No Kings Day was given attention because we’re feeling it here too with what is happening throughout our country. Whether it be as one protester’s sign read, “Save PBS” (me too, I can’t imagine living without my 55-year-long love affair with PBS), or the defunding of federal assistance to rural hospitals (that will affect us all here in Kingman), or the mistreatment of immigrant or the Supreme Court giving our President permission to act like a king.
The list is long for the many reasons people are protesting today. And although some were bothered about the protests in Kingman, kudos to them for doing it peacefully regardless of hecklers with crude gestures.
So thanks to Brian Walter and Noel Mabile reporting on the No Kings Day rally in Kingman. We may be a small town but we have a voice that connects with others nationwide.
J.M.
As one of the regular protesters at the rallies, I only say that we are protesting for US, all of us. We are a retired fixed income family who can’t afford our healthcare doubling, or losing KRMC, or the rising price of groceries, or losing value in our retirement investments that the coming recession is producing. We are all in this together and my wife and I feel we need to do all we can to stop this destruction. Remember, the doge minions didn’t find all that waste and fraud they promised; they just cleared all the checks on Musk’s illegal dealings, defunded programs that help us working class folks while this administration gave breaks and tax cuts to billionaires.
