Never have the stakes been so high in an election – so divisive, so black and white, so potentially life altering. Please vote, though when you read this, you may either be voting or already have voted. Thank you.
While I usually question the appropriateness of taking a political stand, I realize everything I stand for is at stake, so I am going out on a limb. If you disagree, so be it.
The editorial board of the New York Times made this comment, it spoke volumes to me in one simple paragraph, posted on 11-3-2024. I can’t put it more succinctly.
“You already know Donald Trump. He is unfit to lead. Watch him. Listen to those who know him best. He tried to subvert an election and remains a threat to democracy. He helped overturn Roe, with terrible consequences. Mr. Trump’s corruption and lawlessness go beyond elections: It’s his whole ethos. He lies without limit. If he’s re-elected, the G.O.P. won’t restrain him. Mr. Trump will use the government to go after opponents. He will pursue a cruel policy of mass deportations. He will wreak havoc on the poor, the middle class and employers. Another Trump term will damage the climate, shatter alliances and strengthen autocrats. Americans should demand better. Vote.”
The choice is clear – It’s time to elect a woman who is uniquely qualified to lead – support Harris/Walz.
Depending on the outcome on this election, I will write about how we go forward. I know that either way, it is more important than ever to shine your light, do what serves you and the greater good, and to put your best foot forward at all times. The US and the world need your activism, your compassion and concern for the welfare of others`.
Reach out if you’d like to talk about this. I know many people are extremely anxious. Let’s support one another!
