Feeling unsafe at the Park-n-Ride | Federal Way letter to the editor

Myself and several of my co-workers from the airport have a major concern at the Federal Way Park-n-Ride on 320th. We take the 574 from the Park-n-Ride to the airport on the early morning times. The amount of homeless people and crime is increasing. We are starting to feel unsafe when we are trying to commute to work. Most recently, there was an assault on one of the bus drivers.

Maybe The Journal should be renamed 'The Obama Weekly'

The article of letters to President Obama from the children of Stillpoint School was very sweet (“Dear Mr. President ...”, page B1, Feb. 25 Journal). However, in the eight years President Bush was in office, I don’t believe you ever printed “Dear President Bush.”

Feedback Dish from the Commish on target I noticed Commissioner Josh Brown’s ferry column (Ferry long-range plan needs an overhaul, Feb. 20, 2009) and I would like to comment.

Bremerton Patriot Letters to the Editor | Feb. 26

Feedback Let the truth be known I was just a boot Marine in Kilo 3/8 and this is my account of what happened and what did not happen in Afghanistan in 2002. I found an article on the Internet titled “Mission Accomplished” dated April 18, 2003, published by the Bremerton Patriot. I found this article to be very disturbing and very disrespectful to me and to all the other Marines, sailors and soldiers who have served this great nation. We all joined for one reason or another, but the real heroes are the ones who are not with us today.

Same-sex marriage bills violate Freedom of Religion

This letter is in reference to the bills SB-5688 and HB-1727, which would legalize gay marriage in Washington state, which was brought to my attention by Larry Stickney, of Washington Values Alliance, in his (Feb. 20) Guest Opinion in the Port Orchard Independent ("Same-sex marriage backers wage stealth campaign in Washington").

Same-sex marriage foes just fear-mongering

Sadly, the Washington Values Alliance has only baseless fear to peddle to the citizens of Washington ("Same-sex marriage backers wage stealth campaign in Washington").

Rep. Miloscia responds to Mirror editorial on porn tax | Federal Way letter, Feb. 19

I’ve proposed a law (HB 2103) to save lives as well as retain medical care and minimal help for truly needy people by taxing the adult entertainment business. A Federal Way Mirror editorial ("Porn tax: Pure political fluff," Feb. 14) calls my proposal a deliberate attempt to “stoke the culture war” and argues that “promoting a bill that may kill businesses is not ideal.”
