Are civility and common sense dying in our country? If you read current news articles, the answer may be “yes.” An infection of bigotry, lies and lack of empathy seems to be spreading. In the upcoming election, we have the opportunity to reverse our course and elect people who will fight this and the current threat of reductions in civil rights, health care, Social Security, Medicare, Medicaid, food programs, education, even democracy.
The majority of this Congress have been unwilling (although this is their job) to fight for the basic American values of decency, inclusion, and religious freedom. Vote for those with the courage to stand up for us all, who will govern with compassion (not greed), who are unafraid to put a stop to the increasing corruption of this administration, unafraid to put country before party, and unafraid to meet with us in town halls and take our voices to Congress.
As has been said, “The care of human life and happiness, and not their destruction, is the first and only object of good government.”
