Living in Diverse America  

Dear Editor,

In my neighborhood we have a variety of people. We have Democrats and Republicans, Independents, Libertarians, and others. People attend different churches or don’t attend church at all. We have Catholics, Baptists, Pentecostals, Jews, and more. On a new street over from me I’ve noticed several families who appear to be from India, Mexico, the Middle East, plus several new America families. I live in a diverse neighborhood.

I haven’t seen anyone out arguing or fighting.

Response to ‘Pot calling the kettle black’

Dear Editor,

Wow, Ms. J.M., you seem to have much rage against Senator Vance and former President Trump. Your “facts” are in no way truthful to say the least. Misinformation in today’s speak. In other words, lies. What happens on November 5, is going to decide if the United States will remain a Constitutional Republic or become a Marxist Regime.

President Obama began the remaking of the United States in his eyes. Hope and change?

Abortion amendment not needed for miscarriage treatment

Dear Editor,

Arizonans deserve to know the truth: miscarriage care is now and will remain available for women, regardless of what happens with Prop 139. I know first-hand.  Last year, my husband and I found out I was pregnant. 

During my second prenatal check, my midwife was using the doppler to find the heartbeat– all routine. But it was taking too long, she was struggling to find any sign of life. She was going over and over my belly, assuring me that the positioning of the baby could make it hard to find
