I find it curious that Republicans take such an interest in the unborn and demonstrate so little interest in those children who are already born. Gun violence has become the leading cause of death for our nation’s children. Something could be done about it. A large number of children live in poverty. Something could be done about that. A huge number of parents working two jobs to make ends meet are ill equipped to provide all the emotional support children need. Something could be done about that, too. Thoughts and prayers are not enough.
Donald Trump said quite clearly that if we vote for him this one time, we’ll never need to vote again. Some will say, “that’s just Trump, he says a lot of crazy stuff!” but I’ve learned to avoid folks who say crazy stuff. They do crazy stuff, also.
Personally, I like voting and look forward to it each election. It allows me to have a voice in our future.
There are many in our local community who will vote for Trump, and while Arkansas is currently counted amongst the red states, that was not always the case. Let the all the MAGA Republicans know that we value the electoral process and will not allow our American democracy to be threatened by tyrants. Let them know also that Democrats are the ones who care about kids.
I urge all to vote Democrat this election cycle, straight ticket, top to bottom. Our children’s lives depend upon it.
