American workers are depending on us
For decades, the American people have been distracted from the real issues that have been facing America and its future. As the candidates for all levels of public office debate various subjects, it is vitally important for them to direct their focus on the main issues facing America. Some of these issues include the need for more jobs and job training programs so Americans have every opportunity to support themselves and add to the well-being of America’s economy and its future.
Americans also want to know that the officials they elect and pay to do a job have the ability to urge private sector businesses to restore jobs in the districts they are elected to represent, and are able to create and document realistic plans to make the changes needed to move forward in the United States.
As we prepare for the general election in November, every eligible American is asked to be registered and to vote. Change can only happen when we are united for the well-being of the United States of America, which is the greatest nation on earth.
Thanks for spreading the word to your family and friends.

Eichen a guitar hero
As a retired teacher who grew up loving string instruments and taught myself how to play both the ukulele and the acoustic guitar, I was fascinated by Chuck Darrow’s article about a guitar enthusiast (“From hobby to global guitar brand,” Sept. 16).
Darrow described how a retired oral surgeon, Matt Eichen, turned a hobby into an international business. Even while practicing his career in dental surgery, Eichen managed to design and manufacture his own brand of electric guitar that he labeled Musicvox.
I was just so impressed how an inexperienced businessman managed to create both a new guitar design and a way to manufacture and market it. Of course he had help from professional musicians who used his invention in some of their shows, including movies.
I found this story inspiring since I stopped playing my guitar after breaking my left elbow in a fall a few years ago. It has healed, and I have better arm movement. All I need to do now is get new strings for my acoustic guitar, start practicing and rebuild my fingertip calluses.
So, congratulations to Matt Eichen on creating a second career out of a wonderful musical talent. I wish him and his family a thriving future making Musicvox. Bravo!
