Editorial cartoonist Steve Meyers’ attempt to vilify U.S. Rep. Bruce Poliquin (April 29) was deplorable, vicious and divisive.

I am amazed at the wasted energy expended by your news organization to demonize Mr. Poliquin. Do you not understand that not only is he not in your readership’s district, but also that 99 percent of his constituents do not read your newspapers? Next time, focus on things in southern Maine.
