Democrats deserve our support

In this last letter before America’s Nov. 3 midterm elections, we would like to stress two main points, as strongly as we can.

First, we want to impress how important it may be to vote early. New York State offers the opportunity for early, in-person voting from Oct. 24 through Nov. 1. President Donald J. Trump has already made it quite clear that he intends to interfere with free and fair voting on Election Day, by any means necessary. Voting early may reduce his chances of succeeding in this most un-American, Putin-like threat.

Our second point is to strongly encourage people to vote for Democratic candidates. Republicans have made it quite clear that they will only enact laws that benefit the wealthiest people and corporations, such as their only legislative achievement this term…their so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill”, which slashed many needy Americans’ health care benefits to offset more tax cuts to the wealthy. They have shown absolutely zero concern for the needs of most Americans, including health care, affordability, gun safety, or education. Republican candidates act in slavish lockstep with Trump. Their political goal is solely to enrich themselves and they would actually have us believe that the key to America’s success is to let ICE round up all non-white people and deport them.

Democrats like Kathy Hochul, Adrienne Adams, Tom DiNapoli and John Mannion believe in the power, justice and the wisdom of the US Constitution. They also believe in fair taxation for everyone and in using America’s resources to help those who most need help. These Democrats deserve our support and our votes. Let’s put them into power on November 3!

Our second point is to encourage people to vote for Democratic candidates. Republicans have shown that they will only enact laws that benefit the wealthiest people and corporations, as evidenced by their only legislative achievement this term…their so-called “Big, Beautiful Bill”. This law slashes many needy Americans’ health and food benefits in order to offset more tax cuts to the wealthy. They didn’t care. Republicans have acted in slavish lockstep with Trump, as their political goal is solely personal enrichment. Instead of spending our resources on our basic needs, they would have us believe that the key to America’s success is to let ICE round up all non-white people and deport them.

In contrast, Democrats like Kathy Hochul, Adrienne Adams, Tom DiNapoli, Cait Conley and Letitia James believe in the justice and wisdom of our US Constitution. They stand up for the rule of law and for using America’s resources to help those who most need help. These Democrats are in politics for the right reasons and they deserve our support. Let’s give them our votes on November 3!
