President Trump has shown once again why he doesn’t deserve another term. His massive failure to protect our country, and now, even his family, closest advisors, and himself from the ravages of the pandemic, is just the latest example of his negligence and poor judgement. As in his business ventures, where he filed for bankruptcy no fewer than six times, Trump took risks with the health and well-being of all U S citizens by ignoring the advise of our top health experts and acting on his own unfounded notions such as saying the coronavirus will soon just disappear. His reckless guidance or total lack thereof, has resulted in our death toll surpassing any other country in the world! The U S now accounts for about a quarter of all the world’s covid cases, with just a little over 4% of the global population. Needless to say, the effects of this on our economy and employment situation is disheartening.

If you are fed up with this kind of leadership, now is your only big chance to change things. Electing Joe Biden president will bring us desperately needed healing through smart, competent leadership. Joe has demonstrated over a lifetime of public service his unwavering dedication to providing good paying jobs, a fairer justice system, and a better quality of life for all Americans. He will consult with our most knowledgeable scientists, not shun them, and he is sure to appoint people with proven expertise and experience to head the federal agencies – not personal business cronies and big campaign contributors. He knows how to conduct foreign policy in a way that earns us respect again, while working with, not against our allies to enhance our security and chances for peace. As Commander And Chief he is sure to give our troops the honor and respect they deserve.

Oh, and while you are at it, be sure to vote for Shawna Roberts for the U S House seat, and not for Bill Johnson who has enabled Trump and defended his wrong-headed policies every step of the way. Let’s give Joe Biden the congressional backing he needs to put his policies in place. Please vote!
