Locals Weigh In on Election Issues, Israel, and Snack Food

Local residents are weighing in on various issues and expressing their opinions through letters to the editor. Robert C. Nickisher, from Upper Macungie Township, hopes that Jefferson Park, the new home of the IronPigs, will offer Cracker Jack for sale, despite Pepsico being a competitor of Coca-Cola.

Frederick Bainhauer, from Lower Macungie Township, criticizes the US government for not holding Israel accountable for settler violence and human rights violations against Palestinians. He argues that the country should follow international institutions' lead in condemning Israeli actions and detain individuals involved in alleged war crimes.

Jeffry Gilbert, from Salisbury Township, agrees with President Trump's advice to vote as if he were on the ballot in November. Gilbert believes that a new Democratically controlled Congress is needed to restore checks and balances and reverse the country's slide towards authoritarian rule.
