Letters

“We the people of the United States.” That is the opening sentence of our common Constitution. Notice, it does not say, “We the citizens.”

Words matter. I imagine that the crafters of this vital document realized this vital difference. If this is the case then we must incorporate all who live here as equal under the law. Yes, I believe this to be true. Our founders are correct.

Sometimes it is necessary to speak up loudly. This is my protest. What is yours?

Reminding our elected officials and our relatives and neighbors of the right and wrong of things is not just our American right but our American duty.

We all need to get our collective heads on straight. All of us human beings are equal in law, like it or not. That is a truth, a fact. So deal with it. Please.

Animals, pets, have better rights in our country than some humans in America. This is wrong.

America asks very little of her citizens. Do this because we need to, because it is our duty to speak, take a stand and be proud of yourselves.

If you do not agree, well, fine, tell me why? I wish to learn from you your truth.
