Opposes Iran deal

Not only do Republicans oppose President Obama's Iranian nuclear deal, but some Democrats are speaking out against the dangers of it, too.

New Jersey Sen. Robert Menendez and New York Sen. Chuck Schumer, both Democrats, have openly stated that they will not vote for it.

Menendez said, "It is not an issue of supporting or opposing the president. This is much greater and graver than that." He has also laid out a lengthy point-by-point argument to explain why the deal is a bad one.

If you, too, oppose the Iran nuclear deal, please be willing to take a stand and let your voice be heard by contacting your representative to express concern. The telephone number to the United States Capitol is (202) 224-3121.

Simply tell the operator why you are calling and you will be connected to the office of your representative.

Regarding free lunches: When did it not become the responsibility of parents to feed their children?

Deck's filled with jokers

James Foley, your remarks in the Opinion section state that Robert Dean is a racist.

You claim you support gay marriage. You do sound to me like you're one of them.

You state Ben Carson, Donald Trump and Ted Cruz are straight out of wacko town. Look in the mirror, guy.

Trump must be smart because he is not a bit like you. You think you know about abortions and everything else.

I give you credit for one thing, Mr. Foley. You are playing with a full deck, but the problem is they are all jokers. That does sum up your mentality.

Gay people are sick, sick, sick.

Editor's note: Editing introduced an error into Dean's previous letter. The correct version reads: "In Seattle, a black person gunned down two police officers who were white."
