Republicans need reality check about Trump's crimes. Trump is guilty!

Echo opinion letter published in the Missoulian a Montana newspaper.
Several sources quote people who say they will vote for Trump, but if he is found guilty of the charges pending against him, they will reconsider. 

Hello❓ I have some information they need to hear. Trump has already been found guilty of sexual assault. His bogus “charity” has been found guilty of fraud. His bogus “university” has been found guilty. The Trump Organization has already been found guilty of tax evasion and fraud. By the time you read this, his business empire will most likely have been ordered to pay a huge fine and possibly lose its license to operate in New York. And need I mention all the times he has declared bankruptcy?

The bankruptcies are not criminal, but they do point to just how bad a businessman Trump is. So there are numerous instances of Trump’s guilt. I just hope those fence-sitters realize just how often he has been on the wrong side of the law. And with trials upcoming for insurrection and stolen classified documents his exposure is almost limitless.

We have never had such a leader as a corrupt immoral president.
We have never had such a corrupt and immoral candidate for the highest office in the country! Please think long and hard before casting that vote this November!  Vote BidenHarris2024  VoteBlueToSaveDemocracy

Republicans are voting for greed over democracy

Since I began voting in Montana for over 40 years, I have always had trust in our voting system. 

Echo opinion letter published in the Missoulian, a Montana newspaper.


Along with being a political wizard and an inventor, was Benjamin Franklin a prophet? “When the people find that they can vote themselves money, that will herald the end of the republic.” ― Benjamin Franklin


But, for the recent mayoral election (in Missoula)... I hand-carried my vote to the Russell Street voting center because I lack trust that the Republican state legislature will protect our vote. Rather, the Republicans will suppress the votes of Native Americans and college students (and others) who don't believe the 2020, election was stolen and don't believe voter suppression is needed to stop fraud.

The post office in Montana is now degraded because Republican-appointed U.S. Postmaster General Louis DeJoy has systematically suppressed mail service. It is also wrong to disable same-day registration/voting. 

College IDs are sufficient to identify college voters. These laws just suppress democratic federation free voting and push the big lie of 2020 voter fraud.

It is bad that I now have to hand-carry my vote to the center rather than mail it because Republicans have made us untrusting in our democracy's voting procedures — all because they require total government power.

From Mike O'Lear in Missoula Montana

Maine Writer:  In my opinion, Republicans have a nefarious goal to support their greed agenda, rather than to protect democracy.
