Letter: We must have a balance of power. If you love your country, vote Democrat

Related Topics: Country, Voting, White House

To all voters, young and old: If you haven’t submitted your voting ballot, I urge you to do so today. I believe that in my lifetime (83 years) never before has an election been so important!

Our Founding Fathers determined that there be checks and balances in our government, yet today none are in place because of Republican control of all three branches: Congress, the White House and the Supreme Court. At present, Republicans, for whatever reason, endorse everything that the current president says or does, with absolutely no regard of the consequences.

Alarmingly, Mr.Trump promotes so much hatred, fear and suspicion, and tells so many lies on a daily basis, that we are becoming desensitized to their effect on our country.
