To the editor:

The important issue in this election is abortion.

Pregnancy is not a disease; it is rather God’s gift of creation. If we do not protect “LIFE” in this world, nothing else matters. The 14th amendment of the constitution protects life for “all” American citizens. I urge you all to read it. Life begins at the moment of conception. If it is not a living life, then why would anyone be so anxious to dispel it from the mother’s womb?

Because of the Biden/Harris administration’s failed withdrawal from Afghanistan, it showed weakness to our neighboring countries. Kamala met with (Volodymyr) Zelenskyy and days later, the Ukraine/Russia war broke out, followed by Hamas attacking Israel. If Trump were President, these wars would not have happened.

We need to vote for strength. Former President Trump stands strong and is capable of leading our country back to peace and prosperity once again.

When Trump was President, we had:

Energy Independence

Pro-Life

Lower Taxes

Strong Foreign Relations

High Employment

Common Sense Industry returned to the U.S. No climate change fallacies

No wars

Trump has chosen an intelligent younger man, JD Vance, for his vice president to carry on his great policies for years to come. JD Vance served in the Marines and is a real patriot. He is conservative and knowledgeable about foreign affairs. He is pro-life and demonstrates his belief in carrying out the U.S. Constitution. We desperately need strong capable leaders to save our country from communism.

We need to ask ourselves, “Are you better off than you were four years ago?” We owe it to our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren to vote for Donald Trump and JD Vance on Nov. 5.

May God protect the United States of America and its people.
