Donald Trump plans to release the wrath of God upon us all in his desire to stay in power and stay out of prison if he is ever reelected. He has personally declared his desire to benefit through full use of retribution in his control of the U.S. governmental offices and the U.S. Supreme Court in his continued action in the pursuit of religious prosecution.

This is an all-out frontal attack on the rights of all American citizens. All of our rights.

What has he done so far: the loss of the Rowe v. Wade after 50 years of legal precedence, control of the press, the right to recognize and pursue your own personal interests and beliefs, gay and LGB rights, women’s rights, the right for everyone to vote in a free and open public elections, the right for free public schools and an education, anti-segregation and minority rights, elderly and disability rights and so on.

Trump’s religion is so strong that he doesn’t even know how to read a bible. Religious evangelical zealots, Trump’s greatest supporters, are working to foster their own personal political interests. They have taken a wrong turn in as much as this saying goes, “The highway to hell is paved with good intentions.”

Settlers came to this country to get away from religious prosecution. Once our democracy is gone, it is gone forever, along with the futures of ourselves, our children, their children’s children, and the rest of our country.

America is at stake. This is no exaggeration. Gone: The United States Constitution with the separation of church and state, the rule of law, and established legal precedence, the three separate branches of government. Already gone with any meaning of our democracy.

Please choose and vote very carefully in the next presidential election.

Sincerely,

LANCE A. HEITZ,
