No-brainer choice

The upcoming election is, plain and simple, a rescue mission to save America from the most radical, far far left candidate to ever run for high office. While a Senator, Harris was the closest thing to a communist in the entire Senate. Currently she’s on a campaign of massive deception to convince people otherwise, with full support from big media.

As RFK Jr. recently stated just before endorsing Trump, “VP Harris’s Democratic Party would be unrecognizable to my father (RFK) and uncle (JFK) and I cannot reconcile it with my values.” (x.com)

Biden/Harris have carried out unprecedented lawfare to lock up and bankrupt their opponents, just like they do in Third World dictatorships. This is not done in a free and just country.

Trump was recently endorsed by one of the largest police organizations, the Fraternal Order of Police. They see rampant crime, Democrat efforts to defund and hamstring them, and permit a lawless invasion across our borders.

We have a Democrat-allowed wide open border with criminals, gangs and enemies from around the globe pouring in. The open border allows fentanyl easy entry, a drug that is killing 100,000 plus Americans every year. What kind of leadership would encourage and allow such an atrocity? Yes, Democrats!

Trump has a record of peace and prosperity. Harris has a record of no beneficial accomplishments, crazy ideas and won’t even do a serious interview.

A vote for Trump is a vote for a free Constitutional Republic, prosperity, and world stability. A vote for Harris is a vote for Marxist socialism, big brother “1984” government, declining prosperity and global chaos.

This is a no-brainer easy choice for anyone who is accurately informed.

Support fundamental freedoms

Democracy is freedom. I am supporting and voting this election for our fundamental freedoms, including reproductive rights.

I believe Democracy helps to solve our common problems and I believe we are all in this together. I will be voting for the Democratic Party candidates and my guidelines are joy, hope and opportunity.

And, I will be voting no on all four initiatives. I do not want to decrease funding for education, decrease funding for investments in transportation, clean air, renewable energy, conservation, decrease funding for Washington’s public insurance for long term care, nor do I favor repeal of regulations concerning natural gas.

I hope we all wake up and do our part and vote for democracy and vote for freedoms. We have committed and qualified candidates on the ballot this year.

Together we can do this. By voting Democrat I believe we can all prosper and I hope you will join me.

Check out ‘Almost Maine’

I attended the opening night production of “Almost Maine” at the Port Angeles Community Players. It was such a good and well crafted production with outstanding acting, characters who were believable.

There were tender moments, funny ones too. The core of the story was about love and relationships, both young and old, set against the backdrop of Maine’s Northern Lights used to great effect as a projected backdrop, the many colored lights representing departed souls reaching to the skies to find their way into heaven.

Do not miss this show, unique among theatres on the Peninsula.

Rights, responsibilities

Recently I saw a T-shirt on someone, in public, that made this statement: “Reproductive Rights are Human Rights.”

Of course, in the current social/political environment, when I hear “reproductive rights” I assume the primary reference is to abortion availability and legality, since our rights to contraceptives and their availability, safety and effectiveness have for the most part been assured for some time now, along with pregnancy and pre-natal care.

Therefore, I would have my T-shirt say this: “Reproductive Planning is a Human Responsibility.”
