Please vote!
Before we vote we need to do our homework. My husband and I will vote for the person we feel will do the best job, not “the party.” We have done our research first. We watched both conventions and debates, and commentaries. I have read the Clintons’ books, several of Trump’s, three by Ben Carson and have read newspaper articles. I have concluded that the commentators have been biased and turned from journalists that should be unbiased into gossip columnists. They have turned this nomination and election process into “a circus”!
I hope the voters are considering the following. I could write a book about lying and deception as well as truth. I have found most untruths have been stated by H. Clinton. Trump may be brash but “says it like he sees it.”
1. We are trillions of dollars in debt. We need a business person who knows how to get us out. Professional politicians have gotten us in trouble. It is time for change.
One of the candidates has a whole history of lies since she and her husband started their careers in politics: Whitewater, Bill’s sex scandals (if Hilary is elected Bill will be 1st spouse), destroyed e-mails or changed some of them. She could be impeached if she were in office now. While she was Secretary of State she was collecting money for the Clinton Foundation. The Clintons can avoid taxes by putting money into a foundation. Money has been donated by countries that rape and kill women. The Clintons have operated on “the end justifies the means.” Hillary never answered phone calls and did not act on requests for help from “the Ambassador.” Four very important people were killed. Some bad decisions have been made.
The other candidate’s language is not what I like but more forgivable than lying and deception. I can’t trust her and her poor decisions.
2. Vote for the person who will best solve our problems with immigration, debt, jobs, trade, health care, and safety, to name a few.
3. Vote for the best person for the job, not based on gender or race.
4. Vote for the person who will have the best vice president.
Let’s get out of a corrupt situation. We need to get rid of commentators who are biased, eliminate the Republican and Democratic parties, eliminate the Electoral College. We need to establish term limits for Congressmen and have term limits for the Supreme Court Justices.
Are you tired of the ongoing lies and deception? Are you tired of corruption at the federal level? Vote for change – take a chance. We need change, not a continuation of the status quo.

The website Politifact has done a nice job fact-checking statements made by both candidates during the campaign. They found that only 15% of the statements that Donald Trump has made during the campaign are “true” or “mostly true.” How exactly is that considered being a “straight shooter” or “telling it as he sees it”? If that’s how he sees it, than he has serious vision problems. By comparison, Politifact found Clinton’s statements to be 50% true or mostly true, but she is considered the liar. It doesn’t add up.
Dr. Stevenson can try to sugar coat it all she wants, but the bottom line is she is voting for a presidential candidate who brags about grabbing a woman’s genitals without her consent. No, that’s not locker room talk. A real man wouldn’t talk that way. Period.
