To the Editor:
No matter our race, income or educational level, we cherish all the freedoms we enjoy in America. Every generation has not only freedoms to enjoy, but also responsibilities to keep our republic secure for future generations.
Unfortunately, many do not realize how endangered our democracy is right now. There are conspiracy theorists, propagandists, and some elected and would-be-elected officials who want to distract voters from focusing on safeguarding our freedom as they attack election results, the press, and independent judiciary. They disrespect our democracy, and spread disinformation. Republicans who refuse to accept the results of free and fair elections – the foundation of our democracy – are a significant threat to our democracy. One such Republican is U.S. Senate candidate J.D. Vance, who refuses to accept the outcome of the 2020 election.
Imagine how empowered we would be to have Congressional and Statehouse Senators and Representatives who respect election integrity, the rule of law, the Constitution, the press, the judiciary and give hard-working people a voice.
We can save our liberty if we vote for those Democratic candidates committed to safeguarding our democracy by accepting election results and respecting our government, those like Tim Ryan, Nan Whaley and Roger Munday.
