Letters to the Editor

Rural hospitals and small businesses face critical funding gaps during the shutdown as Congress fails to pass a continuing resolution, impacting healthcare and local economies.

  • This past week, rural America is hit as the federal government grinds to a halt, putting Medicaid, REAP, rural hospitals, farmers, and small businesses under strain.
  • Congressional deadlock has left funding unresolved, and lawmakers' brinkmanship treats rural communities as collateral, the letter highlights, with neither side having enough votes to pass the continuing resolution.
  • Legislative choices favored corporate farms while local services were cut, handing new `pilot program` benefits to large corporate agricultural operations, with Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene urging health care access over foreign interests.
  • On immigration enforcement, the letter argues undocumented immigrants face a civil violation, not a crime, and raises due process concerns when ICE agents act without rights protections.
  • Calls to action urge citizens to rise and raise their voices against authoritarianism and to defend democracy through local engagement in Washington, D.C.
