Kamala Harris will serve all Americans with dignity & honor
I am worried for my country. I also have deep faith in the ability of a free people to choose right, when the pressure is on.
This year’s election could set the nation on course for sanity, liberty, and sustainable shared prosperity, or it could destabilize the instruments of self-government and unleash climate chaos, autocratic political violence, and pervasive corruption. Future generations will look on our choice with deep gratitude or shock and disdain.
The democratic republic known as the United States of America needs a head of government who recognizes service as a high ethical calling, who understands the personal sacrifices needed to serve with honor and dignity, and who is willing to put the good of others over personal pecuniary interest. The President must be a person of character, wisdom, grace, and no-nonsense problem-solving. There is only one candidate on the ballot this November that meets those standards.
Kamala Harris is the President for this crucial time in American history. Not only has she served skillfully and honorably throughout her career in public service; she has done so with a conscious and explicit devotion to the infinite worth of all human beings. That, more than anything, is what is needed now, as the American people find themselves facing complex, compounding, and pervasive challenges.
Human rights and personal freedom
Kamala Harris believes all people are of infinite, incalculable worth, and are entitled to have their humanity, their dignity, and their rights protected. She has prosecuted predators and fraudsters and held criminals to account, in defense of the rights and freedom of everyone else. She also understands that when public officials take away the rights of 170 million women and girls, they are signaling the end of all human rights and personal freedom.
She will make sure women and girls have open, fair, unfettered access to the best quality of medical care, and that doctors do not fear for their freedom or their lives for providing life-saving care. This is why an unprecedented alliance of pro-choice and pro-life women are joining to support Vice President Harris, because the Trump abortion ban plot will be devastating to the health, freedom, and opportunity of all women and to future generations.
It is not coincidence that the same deeply flawed human being who wants to use the Presidency to reduce women’s access to healthcare also wants to emulate dictators, sell official actions, and jail and murder his critics. Your access to the freedoms guaranteed by the Bill of Rights depends on making sure a candidate like Trump, who wants to take away freedoms to rule over others with impunity, loses the vote resoundingly.
We must not go back
Whether the issue is inflation, trade, climate risk and resilience, security, or education and health, a vote for Trump is a vote to make life worse for Americans and for people around the world. A second Trump presidency would weaken the United States even more than the first one did.
Remember, Trump has been found liable for sexual assault and convicted of 34 felonies. He says he will use the powers of public office to wage actual combat against Americans he disagrees with and has called for critics to be put before firing squads. His own former top aides describe him as “dangerous” and “fascist to the core”. His obscenity is a national shame, and he has himself said he would “terminate the Constitution” if it gets in his way.
A vote for Kamala Harris and Tim Walz is more than an anti-Trump vote; it is a vote to return to the complex, necessary, humanizing work of self-government, where people of differing views and priorities can work together to solve problems that affect us all.
