A clear choice for November

To the Editor:

The choice at the ballot box in November is an easy one.

You can vote for a 78-year-old man who dodged the Vietnam War claiming bone spurs. When he was president he called our American war dead in a cemetery in France “suckers” and “losers,” a comment witnessed by two U.S. military officials. He called Navy pilot and future President George H.W. Bush a “loser” for being shot down by the Japanese during WWII. As the sitting president, on Jan. 6, 2021 he gleefully sat in the White House, watching Fox News coverage of the riot at the U.S. Capitol where 140 police officers were beaten and sprayed with bear spray. He did nothing for three hours to stop the violence. He never acknowledged the sacrifice of these police officers and now denies the riot even happened.

Or you can vote for Kamala Harris. During the debate she was prepared, professional and clearly answered the questions. Trump became agitated, claiming that immigrants were eating cats in Ohio. Imagine how easily Vladimir Putin or Elon Musk or Steve Bannon can manipulate him. 

My dad was a World War II Army veteran who served in the Philippines. Maybe you or your ancestors served our country as well. They didn’t sacrifice their lives so a spoiled, ignorant, unhinged man can destroy our country.

Kamala Harris has shown she is tough, smart and reasonable and deserves our vote on November 5th.
