I wrote this letter to my local paper, The Vero Beach Press Journal a few months back. Needless to say, they never printed it ... as with countless others I have written over the years. The few times they did print one, they were angry, looney-lefty examples, letters I wrote while I was angry and possibly never should have sent in the first place. I wonder who all has had this type of experience, I have read some posts regarding papers in Ohio and elsewhere that lead me to believe that these papers must, somehow, be put in their place. The recycle bin. Now.
I believe this was in response to all the portable buildings, and overcrowding, and ineptness of the School Board that plague our students and teachers, or a letter about religion saying abortion, or contraception, should be forbidden by the government, but it could have been anything. I sent it back in May, I believe. Here goes:
Democrats care deeply about our infants and children that have already been born. That they all have adequate healthcare and attend quality schools, NOT overcrowded, underfunded portable buildings. Progressive, Liberal democrats want to end the "welfare state" by encouraging people to plan for the families they can afford to support, and end the need for virtually all surgical abortions by making contraceptives and medical options such as the morning-after pill available to everyone who wants it through federal funding of Planned Parenthood. We also support embryonic stem-call research, which will produce life-saving achievements, as an alternative to throwing these embryos away in fertility clinics.
Democrats seek to fight the scourges of hunger and disease that plague Africa by distributing condoms and literature that explain the truth about options to avoid contracting the HIV Virus, instead of just the abstinence only policy, and also to give women in third-world countries the democratic right to make choices regarding family planning.
Liberal, Progressive Democrats would intervene in the Sudan and other war-torn regionsto save the lives of innocent men, women, and children being raped, mutilated, and murdered by a genocidal government.
Howver, as democrats we Are Not willing to fight malaria by spreading poisonous DDT, which would sacrifice the lives of all the birds, and who knows what else. This includes our own Bald Eagle, who has made an amazing comeback, hasn't he?! A moral position would be one of protecting all forms of life, Mother Earth, and the atmosphere that was created to sustain each and every one of us and future generations.
Democrats want to live in a free and open democracy not prone to imperialist foreign policy that undermines our security and safety, and/or domestic policy that ignores our Laws, and Constitution, as well as our true obligations and priorities. We want our soldiers and veterans cared for and their lives and incredible sacrifice honored and respected. America, please start working together for a strong, smart, successful, UNITED States.
