Reader enraged by attempts to suppress right to vote
Dear Editor, There is so much to address during this presidential campaign, but nothing grates my ire than the continuing efforts by Republican legislatures and governors to suppress our right to vote. And now it has seeped into the Board of Elections in this great state of Ohio. We have 88 counties. Each county has a Board of Elections in charge of when we vote, where we vote, information about how to register, etc. These boards are comp...

Obama campaign attempts to block early military voting
Dear Editor, The Obama administration has targeted our state for allowing a time-honored tradition regarding the military vote. In a move that could have an impact on the final result of the presidential election, Barack Obama’s campaign has sued Ohio to block a measure which extends early voting for members of the military. The action brought quick responses from Ohio Attorney General Mike DeWine and as many as 15 military groups. DeWine...

Reader says we must return to God’s ways
Dear Editor, Now that the Supreme Court has failed the American people, we must take our case to the court of the Most High — the Supreme Ruler of the Universe. Man will fail us but God will not if we confess our unworthiness and pray that He will give us leaders who rely on His Word. The Bible tells us in II Chronicles 7:14, “If my people who are called by my Name will humble themselves and pray, and seek my face and turn from their wicked...

Reader responds to Rep. Bill Johnson’s article
Dear Editor, I would like to respond to an article that appeared in the Gallipolis Daily Tribune on July 24, 2012. The article was written by Rep. Bill Johnson called, “Empower, Don’t Punish, Job Creators.” Mr. Johnson, you are very naive or else too dumb to see the truth when it is laying in front of you. You took President Obama’s message about job creation completely out of context. Listen to the whole message. You might fool some of y...

Car damage and vandalism — Why?
Dear Editor, This letter is in reference to an incident that happened in Pageville, Ohio. A few weeks ago, some people went to my parked [vehicle] and took clubs and beat all my windows out, including the windshield, headlights and mirrors. I don’t know [who] they were, but they know. I have never did anything to anybody to deserve this. I am 75 years old and on Social Security. My insurance won’t cover it, and it is costing over $1,000...

Reader addresses officials of Ohio, Gallia County and BREC
Dear Editor, I am writing regarding the storm of June 29 and its aftermath. The fact that we had a disastrous storm on June 29 is no one’s fault. It is also no one’s fault that there were so many who lost power during this event. It is the lack of assistance to the community that I question. Our family was one of the fortunate ones, who had the resources to acquire ice, food and the other things we needed to survive the more than five and a...

Reader disappointed in Kasich’s handling of WCS
Dear Editor: For keeping quiet about a child molester, the NCAA fined Penn State $60 million, took away future scholarships, imposed a four-year bowl-game ban, and invalidated 112 wins. Those who knew about the child molester were fired and Joe Paterno’s statue was removed out of disgrace. Lawsuits will surely follow, and people will likely be prosecuted for child endangerment, criminal negligence, deception, cover-ups, etcetera. Worthing...

Grandfather doesn’t appreciate Playboy story in newspaper
Dear Editor, In a day and age where we as a nation are concerned about the image that we convey regarding our young women; the Point Pleasant Register places on the front page of its newspaper a story concerning a graduate of Point Pleasant High School becoming a Playboy “Playmate of the Month.” From the tone of the story, this is something to be desired as it is quoted, ”Being a Playmate has always been a dream of mine.” In order for a...

Buildings detract from otherwise lovely town
Dear Editor, Recently I was in town for my 50th high school reunion and noticed many changes. Some, such as new schools, a larger hospital, the river museum, amphitheater, and art gallery showed that local folks cared for the area. Unfortunately, others did not. A house badly in need of paint near the road in the English Court area and several houses in dire need of repair on Viand Street near the heart of town severely detract from the o...

<p>Aurora Saunders underwent an EEG at Cleveland Clinic last week.</p>
SNP: I did NOT sign up for this!
We packed the family up for a neurology appointment for my daughter at Cleveland Clinic this week loaded with luggage, research and hope. We were scheduled for an 8 a.m. sleep-deprived EEG (waking her up at 3 a.m. was an experience I hope to never repeat) and a 10:40 a.m. appointment. Bursting with anticipation and carrying a huge bag full of research study print-outs, we sat down with the neurologist. “Your daughter does have abnormal EEG ...

Visitor concerned about perceived lack of Likens’ support
Dear Editor, I am always amazed when I come home to visit and read the Register. Tuesday’s front page has articles on the American Queen visit, Sweatstock and Paul Doeffinger. I was privileged to see a wonderful last-minute concert performed by local talent Chase Likens! He is so talented and treats his fans so well, yet you never mentioned him or even included one picture. I thought maybe you may have saved it for Wednesday’s paper — still...

Right to Life shares emotional note
Dear Editor, As many of you know, Right to Life had a fund drive with the Baby Bottles for Mother’s Day with 51 churches and one organization participating. This involves over a thousand Bottles. Abortion is usually kept quiet. Just because women smile doesn’t mean there is joy and peace in their hearts. Many women carry the scars all their lives. We received a note in one of the Bottles this year that we believe the writer would like for u...

Suddenlink subscriber tired of paying to surf
Dear Editor, I’ve had Suddenlink expanded basic cable for several years. It was around $32 per month when I first started on expanded basic. Now after several yearly increases I pay $76.66. In May 2012, Suddenlink management decided to remove TV Guide Channel from its lineup. Now I have no idea what is on, what movies or what time they start. When I was paying my monthly cable bill, I asked why it was removed. I was told they had their own ...

Protect your right to own guns
Dear Editor, President Obama is about to begin to overturn your right to own guns. His plan to do this through “Fast and Furious” backfired. He has one way left to overturn the Second Amendment—through adoption of a foreign treaty. Many liberals believe a treaty is higher law than the U.S. Constitution though this is not the original intent of our founders. At least four U.S. Supreme Court judges believe this. So, the President is going...
