Stop the flow of U.S. weapons to the Israel and its genocide of the Palestinian people.
Vote for Kamala. As President, she would be free to pursue her own policies and reject Biden’s policies. Will she cut off the arms flow as Reagan did in 1985? Indications are that she will support the Palestinians. She has stated that she supports a Palestinian right to “self-determination.” No other U.S. politician has done so.
She stood up the criminal prime minister of Israel when he addressed a joint session of the U.S. Congress. Rather than preside over the session, she had more important things to do. That move spoke volumes. Harris will respect the American people who, polls show, want a weapons ban. A protest movement will compel Harris to act. Support Palestine, vote for Kamala!

Those highly qualified persons who worked closest to Trump in his administration publicly say he is unfit and they had to often talk him down from bad decisions. That is all I need to know to disqualify Trump.
That wasn’t all I found out about Trump. I also learned that many mental health professionals feel it is their duty to warn the public about Trump’s apparent mental illness. I don’t take this as fact, but the constant lying, the way he talks and what he says tends to corroborate that view, IMO. There is also the fact of his two impeachments, his multiple convictions for fraud and false business records and his indictments for attempting a coup, subverting an election and stealing top secret documents. This week, Bob Woodward is reporting that he has been in frequent conversation with our adversary Putin. Trump does not appear to be a moral person that anyone should trust about anything.

We have a choice: Kamala Harris, devoted to protecting the rule of law, the Constitution, your rights and freedoms regardless of party or race, and supports legislation to promote American business, reduce inflation and medical costs, address climate change and preserve the Affordable Care Act.
Or Donald Trump, a convicted felon/assaulter of women/con man convicted of multiple frauds, who bankrupted himself multiple times, and tells lies fluently and frequently to cause division, fear, benefit himself (not you) and avoid jail.
He conspired to overturn the 2020 election, falsely claiming the election was stolen. He says he would be a dictator on Day 1, tear up the Constitution and use the Justice Department to go after his opponents and critics. His words.
He creates chaos everywhere. Why would this be your choice? Do you admire his character? His behavior? He scares me, and should you also.
Vote for democracy — for Kamala Harris.

Another four years of the same?
So you like war?
You enjoy funding immigration with tax dollars that even our American citizens don’t receive.
You like criminals that cross our borders and cause harm or death to our citizens.
You want to pay high dollar for your groceries, water and gas.
You want to fund wars we didn’t start with our tax dollars?
You want our open borders? You don’t care if anyone follows the rules to legally become a citizen?
You want a president who dodges questions with the same answers every time.
That’s really unfortunate, that you would vote for that.
Good Luck. I’ll vote for a republican until I get a good reason not to, and a good reason is not because “I don’t like him/her.
