As I was growing up in Clark Fork, Idaho, I knew you should avoid some parties. The worst were the Nazi Party and the Communist Party, they put party above people and exterminated those they felt did not belong.

Now we have the Republican Party. The Republicans, led by Donald Trump have put party above God and country. Money and power above democracy and fair dealing. Give the wealthy everything but if you give anything to the masses, it’s evil socialism.

Donald Trump and his Republican Party want to silence the free press, take away Social Security and Medicare, labeling them entitlement programs, instead of programs paid for by honest, hardworking citizens.

Donald Trump and his family are manipulating the U.S. government to pay for their extended golf trips to properties he owns, while taking away public access and protection to public lands.

Donald Trump is owned by Russia and is trying to put the United States in the same situation. Wake up, responsible Republicans, take back your party, throw Donald Trump and his followers out, before hatred of anyone different from you is the law of the land.

Big money and power, will control our sources of information, our country and our freedom.

You can’t be so afraid of social programs, like public schools, health care for veterans, Social Security, Medicare for all, that you will let this egotistical fool destroy our country.
