To the editor:
Some people are having a hard time deciding between Clinton and Trump which is puzzling when the differences between their policies are so radically different. If the crass comments by Trump and the unprecedented chronic corruption of Hillary Clinton can be put aside, consider their stated positions on important issues:
VOTE TRUMP if you want conservative supreme court judges who use the constitution to guide their decisions; if you want to protect the second amendment to bear arms; or repeal taxes on family inheritances; protect religious freedoms; reduce the overreaching EPA regulations on coal and oil; abolish the “Affordable” healthcare system (Obamacare) and replace with a more efficient and cost reduced system; aggressive plan to eliminate the national debt; enforce immigration laws already in place; lower taxes for individuals and corporations so they will invest in American jobs; stop government waste at all levels; reverse all Obama’s executive orders made specifically to bypass congress.
VOTE CLINTON if you want liberal judges who make laws to fit the progressive (liberal) world view; change the second amendment gun rights; family inheritance taxed at an even higher level; more EPA regulations on coal and oil forcing companies to move offshore; a more aggressive federally-mandated healthcare system that is already failing; or Hillary’s dream of “completely open borders” and citizenship for all who come here illegally; continue to obtain our energy from countries who are our enemies; continue policies that have degraded religious liberties; more intrusion of government in our lives and increasing taxes to pay for it; comfortable with the national debt of over $20 TRILLION which is perilously close to causing complete financial collapse.
Hillary says she will continue Barack Obama’s liberal agenda and follow his example by using Executive Orders to get things done if congress and he senate won’t approve her agenda.
Trump on the other hand recognizes that we are a land of laws and we cannot pick and choose which we will follow, or we can choose to change them legally. He has committed to working within our government system which means working with congress and the senate which is how our system of government was designed to work.
This election should be about principles and trustworthiness and for policies that work for the overall good of the American people. So why is the decision hard to make?
