To The Editor:

Do you remember when we used to get pleasant gentle rains instead of brutal storms that flood our homes and roads? Do you remember when parents could send their children to school, and we could go shopping and to concerts, without worrying about safety? Do you remember when we expected our leaders to tell the truth? And do you remember when everyone, including super duper wealthy people and corporations, paid their share so everyone had a chance to achieve the American Dream? I remember, and I care. That’s why I’m voting for Democrats.

If you care about keeping Newtown green and beautiful, and having clean water and air, you should vote for Democrats.

If you care about keeping yourself and your children safe, you should vote for Democrats.

If you care about freedom to make your own decisions about your body, and to read and learn what you want, you should vote for Democrats.

If you care about educating our children without political interference, you should vote for Democrats.

If you care about the American Dream of giving everyone a chance to get ahead, you should vote for Democrats.

If you care about affordable healthcare and affordable health insurance, you should vote for Democrats.

If you care about making sure the wealthy and the big corporations pay their fair share, so the rest of us don’t have to pay more to make up for what they aren’t paying, you should vote for Democrats.

If you care about honesty and integrity in our leaders, you should vote for Democrats.

If you want entertainment, you should watch TV. But if you want honest strong leaders who will help us and who will govern based on what we need, you should vote Row A.

If You Care, Vote for Democrats!
