To the Journal editor:
Republicans on our local midterm ballot have all failed to represent our best interests as constituents. Most of the people in the Copper County want excellent affordable healthcare, a robust sustainable economy, high quality education for our children, a strong elite military for defense of our country, the freedom of speech and practice of religion, and an effective government that represents the will of the people.
Republicans have delivered on none of these pertinent issues. Instead, they have chosen to blindly give allegiance to a convicted felon (president) who violates the Constitution and only cares about generously benefiting the very wealthy.
Thus, we are engaged in a senseless war that is rapidly degrading our military, alienating our longtime allies, coddling authoritarian regimes, super-inflating our national debt and destroying the economy for working class families.
Since none of the ballot Republicans have spoken out against these erosions, it is safe to assume that they fully endorse these failing detrimental policies. Because of their moral cowardice and silence, this super majority of Republican "leadership" (Executive, Legislative, Judicial) "owns" this current environment. "They broke it, but we have to buy it."
The only reasonably power concerned citizens have is to vote! Seek truth, work together and elect qualified leadership to represent the people.
