Thank you, Jack Wayda, for an outstanding letter concerning the lawyers’ sophisticated TV ambulance chasing.

Letter: Advice to government: Get out of the way
When a person is a member of the Chicago “family,” the way to get out of trouble is to buy your way out.

Letter: Obama tries to dig U.S. out of Bush's ditch
Many Press Journal letter writers like Martin Fee have been ranting and raving about how President Barack Obama blames much of our nation’s troubles on former President George W. Bush. These writers must have selective perception when it comes to Bush.

Letter: Avoid political labels and start thinking
It is unfortunate that a lot of the information we receive from the privately owned media outlets is so biased and manipulative nowadays. It seems that the freedoms offered by our Constitution are abused by so many special interests.

Letter: Politicians vs. statesmen: Guess who afflict us
I do not profess to have all of the answers, but I do feel confident that I do know what the biggest problem is in Washington. I used my Webster’s dictionary and, sure enough, there was the answer. Webster states the following:

Letter: Political correctness is the real suicide bomb
“Political correctness” may have its place in some arenas, but not when someone is trying to kill you.

I read with dismay in the Opinion section Jan. 30 that the Obama administration apparently was subsidizing Brazilian oil drilling, according to a letter by Louis Ripa.

Letter: Adult should have voluntarily surrendered swing to children
After reading Jennifer Fisher’s letter, “Mother teaching child to be selfish” (Feb. 3), I was surprised the Stuart News would even print something so utterly ridiculous. I also suspect the News will have to run an entire page of responses.

Letter: Framers of Constitution would be appalled by Supreme Court's decision on corporate contributions
The argument that corporations are “people” is a legal fiction that has spawned hideous results in law, commerce and society.

Letter: How many more decades will pass before Baker Act is amended?
In February 2000, the Florida Fairness Commission published an article in the Florida Bar News that said the Baker Act was in need of an overhaul, including statutory reforms, and that the involuntary commitment effects the state’s elderly in detrimental ways.

Letter: Supreme Court upholds First Amendment
The recent decision of the Supreme Court got a rather negative response by our president during his State of the Union Address. He often has said that he is not an ideologue, but his speeches say something rather different.

Letter: Invest money in reconstruction jobs
President Barack Obama started off with throwing $100 million at Haiti after the earthquake, which is now up to $300 million.

Letter: Obama symptom of greater ailment
The danger to America is not Barack Obama, but a citizenry capable of entrusting a man like him with the presidency.

Letter: Beware deceptive governing of Obama administration
I am a retired educator and receive a nominal pension. I recently received my monthly retirement check and I noticed that the income tax withheld had almost doubled.

Letter: St. Lucie stands up for elephants
The way animals are treated in our county matters. That’s why I am so thankful for the County Commission’s decision to ban bullhooks at the forthcoming National Elephant Center and for setting conditions that help protect these animals and keep the center accountable.

Letter: Obama administration has its priorities skewed
Recent news revealed how our pro-active U.S. government is going “all out” to protect American citizens. Two of the most startling and disgusting examples were:
