The Reason I’m Voting

To The Editor:

I will vote.
Whatever it takes, I will get to the polls and vote.

I don’t like the way Washington treats me.
I’m not a tax to be reduced.
I’m not an expense to be cut.
I am not property to be downsized.

I respect the needs and values of others,
and I expect my needs and values to be respected.

I believe in the Constitution,
of a Government built on negotiation and compromise,
not a few rich leaders imposing “my rule or nothing”.

I know what is best for me.
I know what’s best for my family.
I demand control of my own life.
I will be respected.

That is why I will vote.
And I will vote Democrat.

Even though neither party is perfect, human decency, human respect, the need to break the gridlock in Washington wins my vote for the Democrats.

That is why I will vote Democrat, Row “A” All The Way.

Thank you.

Dennis Merlino
