Readers urge “No” vote on constitutional amendment referendum
To the Editor: Vote no to your ballot referendum question for amending our Wisconsin Constitution by changing the word “every” to “only.” Once again, the Republicans are circumventing the traditional legislative process just to say that something that is already illegal is still and always will be illegal.

Reader condemns editorial’s ‘baseless speculation’
To the Editor: Last Friday evening I settled onto our living room couch planning to enjoy the latest edition of The Northwoods River News (I’m easily entertained, ok?).

Put God first; love your neighbor
To the Editor: We say that we are a Christian country; that we are followers of Jesus. The Jesus I follow never used the military, never used a gun or any violence against another person, opened himself to relationships with all kinds of people and welcomed strangers.

2024 campaign rolls with the changes
We don’t know the winner — the prudent won’t guess, many of the imprudent will be wrong — but already we know that the 2024 election will mark a significant departure in American history. Even if Donald Trump wins, it won’t signal a return to 2017, when he first took …
