I was wondering if Pottstown could possibly resurface Queen Street by Moser Road. It needs to be resurfaced. It’s really like a roller coaster.

What’s going to happen when policemen get fed up with their jobs and quit and we have no one to call when we think we are being robbed or in an accident or need to go to the hospital or being beaten by someone and so forth? This thought goes for the protesters too. I hate to think that this could happen. One Who Thinks Ahead

Is it just me or does Carson Wentz, the new quarterbac­k for the Eagles, look like Prince Harry from England?

This is to the person who says he will never vote Democrat again and the killings must stop. Donald Trump is talking about nuclear weapons. N I hate to tell you but we won’t have to worry about killings. We’ll all be annihilate­d if we start using nuclear weapons. Unfit for office Donald Trump is. I hope it scares you.

I think instead of helping the drug users you need to stop the drug dealers and that would really help the drug users.

Why do football players only dance around the field when good things happen? Just once I’d like to see a quarterbac­k do a sad interpreti­ve dance after throwing an intercepti­on. Jim Fitch

My comment goes out to all those in our Republican Congress. When do you think it would be a good time to sit down and have a serious conversati­on about gun control and restrictio­ns on the gun show loophole? Most police department­s support a change in the way guns are so easily accessible to the people who are on a mission to create chaos in our country. What do you have to lose other than huge campaign contributi­ons from the NRA?

This is to all those millionair­e football players who are not honoring our great flag. You’re paid to play football, not to protest. Remember that. A Veteran

This is to our policemen, all of you in blue. There’s a program started, the first one aired on Sunday on Fox News radio at 3 p.m., and it’s retired police officers talking to their fellow policemen. It’s called “Cop and Cross” and they have a website too. It’s a good program and it is to help. This man is telling you what God wants you to know to keep your faith and keep strong. They’re retired police officers trying to help the other police officers through these hard times. Stay Safe Out There

I’m 97 percent sure you don’t like me but I’m 100 percent sure I don’t care. Fight When You’re Right

I am so sick of politics. Why aren’t the nominees made to tell what they’re going to do, honestly tell what they’re going to do for this country, instead of running down constantly their opponent? Barbie

In response to the caller who mentioned the quote “Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall” from President Reagan, bless your heart my friend that was not a quote that defined any internatio­nal border like the one we have down south. That was in reference to the Berlin wall in the city of Berlin in the country of Germany which was the separation point between East and West Berlin which was the symbol of the cold war. That’s what President Reagan was talking about.

To the person in the minivan that dumped their green love seat in Washington Hill Alley between Hale and Warren streets, shame on you. Why don’t you disgrace your own neighborho­od instead of coming into ours and dumping your furniture? Not only did I see you but more importantl­y God saw you. The Queen Of The Hill

Mark Furlong, I cannot figure out where you heard that President Obama used the word “racist” during his speech in Laos. He did not. Also when using the word “lazy,” he said we’ve been lazy when it comes to finding creative solutions when environmen­tal destructio­n occurs. It’s obvious you don’t like president Obama but please don’t make things up.

I noticed several comments in Sound Off about donating cell phones that work or do not work, and suitcases. I collect for Berks Women in Crisis in Reading regularly. Please call 1-610-792-2527 for pick up or drop off in Spring City. Full list is available for donations of all types of clothing and toys for children and women.

Hey protesters, the cops aren’t the bad guys. The people with the guns who are not supposed to have guns are the bad guys. That’s why cops shoot them.

I get those kind of calls too that when you call back the number is no longer in service. Somebody told me that those telephone calls are made from a pay phone.
