Reader against transgender, abortion rights

Dear Editor, First of all I am not a Republican or a Democrat. I vote for who I think will do the most good for America. Donald Trump brought jobs back, the stock market was the best its ever been. He stood up to other nations who would destroy us, got out of the deal with Iran which was a bad mistake of Obama and Biden. He stands with Israel which without a doubt is our best friend, everything was going great until the virus hit us. And now the Democratic party is even blaming him for that. I agree…

Helping unemployed Americans

Dear Editor, Unemployed Americans need cash. We go to work in return for a paycheck. With unemployment we lose the paycheck. It’s a simple but very painful formula for millions of Americans. Paychecks pay the rent or the mortgage, the car payment, utilities, groceries and school clothes for the kids. Whatever amount the government will provide unemployed Americans are hoping will be on the generous side. The $600 a month boost has been a financial plus.
