American women must fight against forced to birth and strongly oppose 1864 draconian law

Echo opinion letter published in the Canton Repository newspaper, in Canton Ohio: Stand up against Donald Trump and his cohorts

How Arizona's 1864 abortion ban stayed on the books

Abortion rights demonstrators in Scottsdale on April 15, 2024
The ban was first enacted in 1864, as part of the Howell Code — the original set of laws that governed the Arizona territory.

Wake up, everybody❗ 
No more backward thinking (this ain't 1864❗). Time for thinking ahead (this is 2024). How long will we allow Donald Trump and his cohorts to think they are above the law? No one is. After everything he has done, now he's saying there will be a "bloodbath" if he's not re-elected. So what does he mean? Another "Civil War"? Or he's going to get in the tub and give us what we want? Violence is never the answer.

Whereas we should be judged by the content of our "character" and not the color of our skin, we are all created equal. America is and will always be great, sometimes greater than others, but still great. Americans, show the world are greatness, for they are truly watching. Stand up and do the right thing. "Don't hate − be great."

Donald Trump owns chaos he created and supported during his administration

Trump’s final year in office proves incompetence an echo opinion letter published in Florida's Orlando Sentinel

We don’t examine the effectiveness of the presidency of Abraham Lincoln by excluding the Civil War. We don’t look at George W. Bush’s effectiveness by excluding the financial market meltdown in 2008. Why do supporters of Donald Trump disregard his (chaotic!) fourth year in office?

Since George Washington’s time in office, we have judged a president’s effectiveness based on what shape they left the country in upon exiting the Oval office. Bottom line is, virtually no one was better off four years ago than they are today.

Whether you believe that Trump was a victim of circumstances or a poor administrator, he owns everything that occurred under his presidency. The tax cuts for the rich, the riots, the pandemic. He owns it all. That is what you sign up for when you choose to run for this country’s highest office.

In 1993 (after George H.W. Bush), 2009 (after George W. Bush), and in 2021 (after Trump) the elected presidents (Clinton, Obama and Biden) inherited a country in economic shambles and each of these Democratic presidents had to focus their first years of service restoring the economic wellbeing of this country.

Trump inherited a robust economy but couldn’t successfully drive the car for four short years.  #Vote Blue 2024  #VoteBidenHarris2024

Donald Trump is a traitor! He tried everything he could to overturn a legal election

Trump cult supporters are the problem, an echo opionion letter from Norm Hanson, in Vancover, BC, published in The Columbian newspaper:

In 2020, Donald Trump tried everything he could think of to deny the will of the voters and illegally attempted stay in power. (IOW "insurrection"!)

In a final act of desperation, former guy President Trump, on January 6th, sent a mob to murder our leaders and destroy our republic. This traitor tried to steal our country from us❗

But the problem with "Citizen Trump" is also his right wing cult supporters. 

In a country that prides itself on electing leaders, former guy Citizen Trump said, in 2016, “I will accept the results of the election if I win,” telling us that he alone will decide who our leader will be; 74 million Americans heard this un-American remark and (unbelievably❗)  still voted 😡for him.

On January 6, 2021, 147 congressional Republicans voted to throw out the votes of millions in two states, based on a transparent lie. 

Republican leaders have publicly advocated for disregarding court decisions and referendums with which they disagree; after Trump called for the execution ❗of the head of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, threatened to “terminate” the Constitution and labeled those who disagree with his politics “vermin” who should be “rooted out,” his supporters loved him all the more.

How thin is their professed love for America, that they would so easily jettison the freedoms that define our country? #VoteBlue2024
