Resident shares Medicare concerns

Dear Editor, People like to talk about all the pork and waste in government spending, but often will overlook programs that actually work, and save money in the process.  I’m proud to know we have a strong supporter of the successful Medicare Part B program in Congressman Charles Boustany. I hope that as the country [...]

Local still surprised by election

Dear Editor, Well, it is late Nov. 2012 and I am still suffering from the shock of Nov. 6. I guess I just have to admit that anyone aspiring to political office should definitely ask for my opinion and then immediately run in the opposite direction.  After Earl Long, “Cousin Dud” and a few others [...]

Readers discuss diversity

Dear Editor, Shortly after the presidential election, the Jennings Daily News (JDN) published an article entitled, “Readers react to another four years of Obama,” wherein the JDN cited the opinions of many of its Facebook followers who were asked by the JDN how they felt about the election results. The writer of the article went [...]

Politicians should reconsider spending

Dear Editor, When politicians vote on spending items, we need to remind them that they are living on taxpayers’ monies. There is nothing upsetting about a “no” vote. This is about being stern on spending. Erasing the past is hard but considering the future is a lot easier. Think about it!   Sincerely, Dick Waltrip [...]

Readers should voice opinions

Dear Editor, It has been a while since I wrote to you and if this computer will let me, then I think it’s time for another. I read the editorial and I congratulate you! If the ones who are complaining about the same ones sending letters all the time, why don’t they voice their opinion [...]

Stop The Hate and Bigotry

Dear Editor, To Jeff Davis Parish voters: This letter is to the 14 percent of voters who changed their party so that they wouldn’t have to vote for an African American. He didn’t need your vote in 2008 and it didn’t matter in 2012. To the people who didn’t vote at all, your vote didn’t [...]

Help Sandy’s Victims

Dear Editor, As someone who endured hardships during hurricanes, I understand what the victims of Hurricane Sandy are facing. My mother’s home, where I live, was badly damaged. It rained inside the home. I fixed what I could but there is still damage today that causes problems. I was not able to get help from [...]

The Morning After

Dear Editor, Well, we’ve been, er, impregnated! Too bad there is no pill available to “fix it”. Those who would like to get a preview of what you really voted for I suggest that you read Thomas Sowell’s column in today’s Post-Signal. And if you are really proud, save it for posterity to prove how [...]

Support The President

Dear Editor, I keep up with the happenings in my hometown, by reading what I can online. Over the last 3 years, I’m finding it not so enjoyable to read. Every week the same individual’s make it a point to write hateful articles in reference to President Obama since the day he was elected. When [...]

Reader Shares Views

Dear Editor, I think the killing of this ambassador and his friends is tied to the killing of the Ben Laden family as revenge. Their family is large and has ties in the Asian communities and were living under the protection of the government. In my opinion invading this country without permission and then killing [...]
