82 years and counting

By Staff | Feb 3, 2016

To the editor:

I am 82 years old and have lived under 13 U.S. presidents: all 13 were men. I believe it is time the 53 percent of the population that are woman should have a choice that represents them, their concerns and their values.

Look at the state of Florida, the state of the United States and the state of the World. We face endless wars and the cost of wars in lives and money. We now face internal attacks inside our homeland. The U.S. is trillions of dollars in debt.

As citizens, we no longer want to sacrifice lives or dollars. Therefore, we need to elect someone who is prepared to lead on the first day in office. We need someone who can work with Congress. They, more than ever, need foreign policy experience.

On March 15 – Florida’s day to elect delegates to conventions -?woman, most especially, must vote for this outcome to become a reality …

– Vote by mail: Ballot request from election office (239) 533-8683

– Vote at your regular polling place

If as many vote on March 15 as those numbers that did in 2012 – if seniors vote in numbers, if women vote in numbers – Democrats will win on Nov. 8, 2016.
