Oakland ought to make investments
in conserving metropolis clear
My husband and I went to a marriage in Oakland final weekend and stayed on the Moxy resort downtown, which we loved. Nonetheless, we have been dismayed in any respect the trash within the gutters up and down the streets, particularly the day after Frist Friday.
I used to be questioning why the town of Oakland doesn’t pay it’s staff to wash the gutters of the streets, particularly within the enterprise areas.
When you see how good that appears, maybe you may assist the homeless clear their areas up by supplying trash cans and outside bathrooms and servicing them continuously.

Might Alameda grow to be
Venice by the bay?
International warming is upon us. Mom Earth is indignant.
July’s Supermoon tide got here inside toes of Harbor Bay houses. Close by roads flooded. But the evening was calm. With typical 35 mph bay gusts and uneven seas, the result alongside the waterfront path may have been ugly. Assume muck, particles – flooded foundations. Failure to arrange now may properly imply a whole lot of houses and streets finally flooded. Think about Alameda – Venice by the Bay in San Francisco – touted worldwide. We’d both be a mockery or a world-renowned vacationer vacation spot.

Malice in GOP speech
appears to be limitless
Every time I learn phrases or concepts spoken by Donald Trump, Ron DeSantis, Ted Cruz, Greg Abbott, Mitch McConnell, the NRA, their supporters (the record goes on advert nauseam), and each time I see the malevolent actions of Trump’s BFF Vladimir Putin and different dictators whom Trump likes, I bear in mind an previous radio program I heard rising up. The crime stopper in this system stated: “Who is aware of what evil lurks within the hearts of males? The Shadow is aware of!” This was accompanied by an ominous snigger.
In all of the years that I’ve been on this planet, I’ve by no means seen nor heard such evil, mean-spirited rhetoric from so many who need to maintain on to energy, or who’ve a yellow streak for a backbone, or who’re spitefully in opposition to the whole lot good the Democrats are attempting to do for all Individuals.
One wonders when it is going to all finish. I suppose solely Almighty God and The Shadow know.

Demand that Congress
defend abortion rights
Abortion rights are being stripped away from girls, and it must be thought-about a nationwide emergency.
One in three girls get sexually assaulted inside their lifetime, and one in each six is predicted to be a sufferer of rape. Roughly 25% of ladies could have an abortion of their lifetime. As a lady myself, I’ve grown up anticipating there to be a chance of getting an undesirable being pregnant due to these realities. I’m scared for myself and each single person who shall be affected by state-aide abortion bans.
So I’m asking that you just name your senators and urge them to help laws that might defend abortion entry, just like the Girls’s Well being Safety Act & the Making certain Girls’s Proper to Reproductive Freedom Act, as a result of this combat is for all of us.

give refugees help
Whereas I perceive the author’s concern for her good friend (“Immigrant parolee deserves Biden’s assist”, Web page A6, Aug. 9), it’s inaccurate to say that the U.S. authorities doesn’t present help to refugees.
A cursory Google search will reveal that beneath the auspices of the federal government’s Workplace of Refugee Resettlement (ORR), a number of businesses, together with state ones, are proven as sources for refugees to entry money and different companies to help of their resettlement in the USA.
Please help in stemming misinformation from being unfold.
