As reported in an merchandise in The Seattle Occasions [July 28, Newsline], former President Donald Trump lately promised his evangelical Christian base that if he’s reelected in 2024, issues will probably be “mounted” so that they “received’t must vote anymore.”
I attempt to not let such inconsiderate remarks get beneath my pores and skin, however this one is especially worrying. On this nation, voting is each citizen’s proper, a treasured privilege paid for by our predecessors with wrestle, blood and grief.

I hope to train this basic proper for the remainder of my life as a result of I can, not as a result of I’ve to — particularly this November.
