Dear Editor:

March 15, 1945, 447th Bomb Group.

A large number of B-17 Bombers were flying over Orienberg, Germany with its crew that needed only two more runs before completing their assignment. The air was so thick with cannon fire and flak, one survivor later said you could walk on it.

Jess, a confident First Lieutenant was piloting the plane, hopeful he’d return safely to England. A former Minnesota wrestler, farm boy and husband, he would not return. A direct hit in the bomb bay and unable to parachute out. Spinning to earth he called out his wife’s name. In the dark night of Minnesota, she sat up and knew even before the telegram came. My mother never forgot. I never forgot. His body rests at Ardennes Cemetery. I got his name listed in the registrar in St. Paul’s Cathedral in London where Americans who died for freedom in WWII are honored and revered.

Now, we have someone who disrespects him running for President. Trump couldn’t bother to stand in the rain at Aisne-Marne Cemetery. His own staff and military officers have heard him call the dead, “losers” and “suckers”. He said the election was “stolen” when over 60 state and federal judges (even Republican appointees) stated there was no fraud in the election. Ken Block of Simpatico Software Systems, hired by the Trump campaign, said there was no fraud. How can Michelle Fischbach, among many other Republicans who stood with Trump’s lies and disrespect of disabled people, women and his own staff support him? With facts from world researchers, he denies medicine and science from places like the Mayo Clinic. As someone who worked for a Republican Senator and House member from Minnesota, I can only say that his siphoning away the life from the Republican Party, financially for his legal defense and charging the Secret Service exorbitant rates to stay at his golf courses and properties is wrong, and morally, leave me in a state of despair.

Join me in voting for only those politicians who are against Trump this time. It’s time.

Dear Editor:

When the people founded this country, they risked everything, including their property, wealth, and their lives. They created the greatest country this world has known. It was created for the people with a limited government and a Constitution to control that government. How that has changed. We have a bloated government and its agencies that control just about every aspect of our lives. We have politicians who have made a career out of living off of the people and their taxes and gotten extremely wealthy.

There are politicians and a political party that want complete control over “we the people.” They mandate what we drive, that we get an unproven vaccine, what our children are taught, and that our children can decide to change their gender by having their bodies mutilated and if parents object, the children are taken from them. They want open borders that allow terrorists to come into this country, thousands of children that no one knows where they are. These children are probably being sex trafficked. Drugs that flow into this country, killing thousands of Americans every year. These politicians and party want to have abortions legal up until time of birth and call it pro choice and healthcare.

We have a Constitution that guarantees we the people free speech, but these politicians, democrat controlled news media, and social media control what we say and call it fact checking.

We have a justice system that goes after political opponents and groups it wants to silence, but does nothing to people that facts prove have broken laws.

There is so much more but I will stop at this, but their is an election in a few days that will determine what happens to this God blessed country and Constitution that many people have served in the military for and all those who gave their lives to protect.

You might not like Trump, but is that enough for you to want to destroy this country and Constitution. Say a prayer to our God that hate does not control us and then vote. Vote for stopping the lies, ???, more mandates and taxes so vote red.
