A reader sends cheers:

Letter to the Editor: No evidence the XL pipeline will lower gas prices at the pump

I'm sorry, but a recent letter to the editor by James D. Tankersley Jr. regarding the XL pipeline was a bit much to stomach. He states, "We need Keystone refinement in working order now. We need natural gas compression for truck fuel. . . . The Keystone pipeline can lower prices."

Letter to the Editor: Matrix jail study is incomplete

What a RSW Regional Jail mess! New Market deputies arrest a suspect and charge him with burglary, vehicle theft and vandalism -- this reflects an example of what lies ahead for public safety in Shenandoah County.

Letter to the Editor: Ad misrepresented Gilbert's record

This week my neighbors and I received an orange political ad that amazingly misrepresented the record of Todd Gilbert, our District 15 representative in the Virginia House.

Letter to the Editor: Republicans aim to gut Affordable Care Act

If Republicans are elected in Virginia in November, they plan to gut the Affordable Care Act. The health care law provides for nearly universal coverage. Its demise would be a disaster for the average American.

Letter to the Editor: Good to see both sides of issue reported

I just wanted to tell you how much I am enjoying your paper with the new format you have introduced. It is so good to see both sides of an issue reported.

Letter to the Editor: Sign petition to remove big money, special interests from politics

My thanks to Ron Kibiloski for his observations on my opinions as stated on these pages.

Letter to the Editor: The Keystone pipeline can lower prices

Progress is not where you have been but where you are going. The problems we need to solve are simple to state. We need a lot of action for each.

Letter to the Editor: Acts of terrorism bring us closer together

As a nation built on the foundation of its constitutional rights and freedoms, one of our most important is freedom of religion, though not everyone shares similar beliefs opinions and idealisms. To ensure us of our rights, we have laws, we elect officials who make our laws, and employ peace officers to enforce them.

Letter to the Editor: Letter was insult to Catholics

A letter to the editor of April 11 is an insult to the Catholic hierarchy and to the priesthood.
