Stand up and be heard – vote!

October 15, 2018 by Guest Post

By Diane Thomas-Rupert, Stevensville

 

Stand up and be heard. Vote!

Montana Women and Men – STAND UP and BE HEARD! Make sure you are letting law makers know we will not allow sexual harassment and sexual assault to continue! No women or men should be afraid to report.

What has happened to us? Are we no longer decent human beings? Where has our respect for others’ rights gone? Look at this headline: “GOP Lawmaker Rips Mic From Democratic Candidate’s Hands During Debate. When he was done talking, Rep. Duane Quam just tossed the mic in front of her.” There are hundreds more of these headlines. What have we become? We want to say about the younger generation, “they have no respect” but adults stand up behind the President of the United States and say “Lock Her Up” because she reported a sexual assault!

If you want this to change Vote Out or Don’t Vote For anyone who would represent Montana in local elections, the US Senate or House of Representatives who condones these kinds of behaviors. STAND UP and SPEAK OUT against anyone that thinks sexual assault is “no big deal.”

Please be sure you are registered to vote and exercise your right to vote on November 6th.  This election is very important.

    Donald Trump and those who share his brutish beliefs about women won’t like this. They are such slovenly bullies.
