Letter: LDS Church is sadly silent this election

It is a shame our LDS mobilized members to vote in Favor of Prop. No. 8 in California — back in 2008, and helped it actually pass! But now the Church hierarchy does nothing. Nor even reminds its members they ought not simply ignore the specificity of words in our single 13th Article of faith. ...

Letter: Why Glenn Wright is the right choice for Utah District 3

The upcoming election, rightly deemed the most crucial of our lifetime, demands our full attention. While most media focus has been on the top of the ticket, down-ballot races will make the most impact in our daily lives. With John Curtis vacating his congressional seat, Utah has a unique ...

Letter: Who will protect democracy? Not Harris but Trump

I recently saw a guest opinion in the Herald suggesting that we look at how presidential candidates will protect democracy. I like that idea, so let’s look specifically at the Biden/Harris open border policy. The border has been open for four years and during that time, over 10 million ...

Letter: Switch to plant-based diet to avoid illnesses from meat

There is a problem with our food systems. The recent E. coli outbreak linked to McDonald’s Quarter Pounder hamburgers has led to illness, hospitalization, and even death. The CDC, FDA, and other health agencies are investigating, with fresh slivered onions and quarter pound beef patties as ...

Letter: US must sharpen tech sector to counter foreign actors

Cyberattacks have been on the rise, leading to increased security risks for individuals, corporations and local governments. Recent breaches underscore the severity of this growing issue. Last month, millions of Americans had their Social Security numbers exposed, and a cyberattack on a local, ...

Letter: Israel’s violent actions do not equate to victory

Regarding Ben Shapiro's "The power of victory," I am left scratching my head. Is Shapiro so enamored of military force (and so steeped in Hollywood war movies) that he mistakes explosions and killing for victory? I am reminded of the false celebrations after the US took Iraq in 2003. But this ...

Letter: Gadiantons embedded to dismantle the Constitution

In the middle of the Nineteen hundreds I began to vote in the Presidential elections. Presidents Eisenhower and Kennedy, along with the Communist Menace were the hot topics of the day. Mr. Mellon’s opinion, published on Sept. 28-29, is correct, at least when he says that the Gadiantons are ...

Letter: Writer accused the wrong party of being infiltrated

Concerning Matthew Mellen’s opinion piece in the Daily Herald, the opinion was totally out in left field and exactly juxtaposed in reference to the Republican Party being infiltrated by the Deep State Gadiantion Robbers. It is the Democratic Party that has weaponized its current judicial ...

Letter: Attorney general candidate Quist committed to Utah

The Utah attorney general’s office has faced a couple of tumultuous decades, characterized by questionable judgment, partisan politics, and at times, scandal. We need to restore confidence in the office, and United Utah Party (UUP) candidate Michelle Quist is uniquely positioned to do that. ...

Letter: Setting the record straight on Amendment D

Amendment D would give the state legislature unlimited power to override any citizen initiative, and the reasons some legislators are giving for supporting it are flawed and misleading. One of the arguments used by supporters is it will “restore” the power the legislature had before the ...
