Election 2016
Open letter to everyone in the United States of America reading this,
I know you don’t know me. I am just another voice in the crowd. I did not want to write about this election, but it is coming and I feel I can not remain silent. Not when so much is on the line.
Please, all who read this, please if you are considering Trump to be the leader of our currently free democracy, I implore you to reconsider.
As a conservationist, who has read the all of his proposals concerning the environment, I implore you to please reconsider.
As a loving mother of two daughters and a son, who has seen Trumps behavior, past and present and read his policies concerning civil rights and the literal future of our country; I implore you please reconsider.
As a woman who has seen his behavior and listened to his words towards women and read his policies concerning womens rights; I implore you to reconsider.
As an honest and kind human being, who has seen his treatment of others less fortunate; whether physically or economically, and read his policies concerning these people, I implore you to reconsider.
As the granddaughter of European immigrants who has read his policies concerning immigration, I implore you to reconsider.
As an outspoken person who cares deeply for my causes and has seen his behavior towards those who speak (or draw, or write) ill of him, please I implore you to reconsider.
As a concerned American citizen who cares about our place in the world and the character of the person representing our nation, I implore you to reconsider.
Trump is not going to make America great again. His policies will in fact send us spiraling backwards. The damage he could do as President of OUR UNITED states could take decades to undo. He is like the barker at a carnival sideshow, he is telling you what you want to hear but when you pay to enter you will get nothing but disappointment. He is not “telling it like it is” he is spinning it like he thinks you want to hear, and some of you are letting him fool you.
I implore you, please, read his policies and look at his true self; not the character he plays for you. Please understand the damage he could do and help stop it before it is too late.
I believe in us America, I know if we could come together as a people and say “No, we deserve better” we could do it. Look at all we have accomplished so far! Do not let our country slip backwards by choosing hate and fear and bigotry and ignorance. We ARE better than that.
Please do not forget to register to make sure that on Tuesday, November 8th, 2016 we can stop this ludicrous sideshow now before we all end up living in a nightmare.
Thank you for reading. Good night!
