Protect voting rights by opposing ‘safeguard’ act

To the editor: Millions of Americans could be forced to jump through new hoops just to cast a ballot next year if the U.S. Senate passes the Safeguard American Voter Eligibility (SAVE) Act. The House of Representatives has already passed this act. Wisconsin voters must presently show a legal ID to vote, but this bill would additionally require proof of citizenship. This is a dangerous step toward voter suppression.

Urge support of Medicaid, a lifeline to affordable, accessible health care
To the editor, As a family physician, I am deeply concerned about potential changes to Medicaid funding and coverage. Medicaid is a lifeline to affordable, accessible health care for millions of low-income individuals and families, including many of my patients. I work at the Menominee Tribal Clinic, an IHS supported but independently-run Native-owned clinic by the Menominee Indian Tribe of Wisconsin.

Don’t let billionaires win; vote for Crawford
To the editor, Our state’s future will be determined when we elect a new justice for the Wisconsin Supreme Court on April 1. Judge Susan Crawford has an outstanding record; however, she has been the victim of multiple lies by her opponent, Brad Schimel, and his benefactor, Elon Musk. Ads have accused her of being easy on crime despite her record of putting violent criminals behind bars.

Former judge urges voting for Schimel
To the editor: I support Circuit Court Judge Brad Schimel in the Wisconsin Supreme Court race. When I served locally in the circuit court, Attorney General Schimel provided assistance to our district attorney office on more than one case that was complex. I believe that Judge Schimel interprets the law, believing that the legislature decided public policy issues.

Town of Little Suamico needs new leadership
To the editor, With the upcoming elections in the Town of Little Suamico, we clearly need new direction. After voting in a new board two years ago, election of Chairman Dale Mohr clearly was a mistake. He does not understand his new role as he is wearing too many hats.

Center good reason to vote no on referendum
To the editor: DOSE, the Department of School Efficiency. The Suring Public School District is asking voters to approve a $1.5 million referendum on April 1 — a 55% increase from the previous $900,000. Meanwhile, the school board chose to build a $370,000 experimental community center, known as SMAC, without a separate building referendum.

Vote no on Voter ID law measure
To the editor, On April 1, we are being asked, by the partisan Wisconsin legislature, to vote to embed our Voter ID law into our constitution. If we do so, only the legislature will be allowed to decide what is a valid ID. This is the sixth attempt in the past year to restrict voting access. Wisconsin already has a successful Voter ID law. Investigations have shown a lack of fraud in our elections.
