In response to Russell Duller’s request for the My Sunday News to drop the political place column I genuinely hope the publisher will not honor such a request. If Mr. Duller is upset by political letters, then I would respectfully suggest that he not read them. It is a newspaper’s duty to report the news. In the case of this particular publication, it is the local news of the community. But we, as citizens and readers, have a right to present our political beliefs whether for or against. Sometimes the letters can be upsetting, but they are always thought-provoking.
It sounds as if Mr. Duller would prefer to wrap himself in niceties and not have to acknowledge the chaos that is currently making life difficult for many people in this country and, unfortunately, globally. It is what it is and burying one’s head in the sand won’t change it.

Russell Duller’s Hang Your Hat submission is spot on. I wholeheartedly, 100% agree with his request to drop the Political Place column. Very seldom is there any positive message included within the column. We hear and read enough negative news on a daily basis from other sources and it is very difficult to sort out what is truth and what is untruth and what is strictly opinion. So, please sincerely consider dropping Political Place – maybe replace it with a humorous (joke) column. Thank you.

TOTALLY agree with Russell Duller to remove the Political Place column! The opinions get nasty, combative and aren’t necessary in a paper distributed during a very toxic time in our nation. Would prefer we focus on local events, informative news and uplifting stories. We live in a wonderful community that should focus on what it provides us and encouraging seniors to celebrate the positive.
