Vote blue, it’s the thing to do

Getting your Trinity Audio player ready...

By Roger Schmidt

To the Editor:

Do you like Democracy?

Do you like clean air and water?

Do you think the will of the people should matter?

Do you think Social Security and Medicare are important?

Do you think acting on climate change is important?

Do you think stronger gun laws should be in place?

Do you think that women’s rights are important?

Do you think health care is needed for all?

Republicans consistently vote to defund and take away rights and vote to defund these programs and do not act for the majority of the population. That is not democracy; it is not the will of the people when the majority of us see these things as very very important.

Vote in the interest of yourself and the people. We will all need these programs. For ourselves or people we know and love.

Vote all blue it’s the thing to do.
