Letters to the Editor  

TO THE EDITORS:
I'd like to correct Andrew Wimer's statement, made in his letter, Feb. 13. He said "Congressman Joe Pitts responds to all constituent inquiries."
I asked a question of Rep. Pitts via his organizational e-mail in mid-April 2011. No answer. A month later, I asked the same q...

TO THE EDITORS:
I often feel the urge to reply to letters I read here. Now's the time.
When reading Prof. Monica Cable's derision (Feb. 16 '"Sport' absent from predator hunt by father, son") of a father and son bonding through the sport of hunting, I was struck by her lack of understandi...

TO THE EDITORS:
Here is some information about the H.R. 3596, the Call Center Worker and Consumer Protection Act.
"To require a publicly available a list of all employers that relocate a call center overseas and to make such companies ineligible for federal grants or guaranteed loans and to r...

TO THE EDITORS:
On Feb. 7, we were having lunch at the Lititz Family Cupboard. About half-way through our meal, the waitress said, "I want you to know that your meal has been paid."
We asked who can we thank, and the waitress said it was a random act of kindness.

TO INTELL EDITORS:
Columnist Gail Collins shares "a really old story" concerning her mother-in-law when she was young and raising a family under difficult conditions, Feb. 11, "Contravening contraception."
The poor woman went to confession and told her priest that she and her h...

TO THE EDITORS:

Currently, we're electing a straight "if it's funny, it's OK and being obsessed with sex is OK" ticket ... and simultaneously bemoaning society's crumbling morals and the number of sex offenders in our neighborhoods.
What fools we mortals ...

TO THE EDITORS:
Kudos to Mayor Gray for Wednesday evening's neighborhood meeting on the possible extension of Longfellow Drive. If anything, the newspaper article understated residents' opposition.
East Lampeter Township officials apparently want their own version of East Hempfield's Good Drive to...

TO NEW ERA EDITORS:
I thought the New Era side of the editorial pages was supposed to be Republican, but it's plain to see you should be sticking John Baer over on the Intell side.
Apart from the way he, as a presumed Democrat (from Philadelphia, surprise, surprise), referenced the "Know Noth...

TO THE EDITORS:
I absolutely agree with Donna Shirk's recent letter that abortion is murder.
In the fall of 1964, I became pregnant even though I had an IUD.
At the time, my obstetrician suggested I allow him to remove the IUD and that would have caused a spontaneous abortion.
I said no, if God ...

TO THE EDITORS:
Almost 250 years ago, patriotic but untrained militia took on the insurmountable task of taking up arms against a well-trained, well-funded army. Their cause? Freedom. "Freedom from taxation without representation." Freedom for the right to practice Christianity how their ...
