Vote Your Conscience

I did not vote for Cornel West. My vote was “wasted” no matter for whom I voted. The electoral vote in Arkansas will go to Trump.

I voted Libertarian, just to make my small statement. Get out of our bank accounts. Get out of our bedrooms.

But Dr. Cornell West preaches something fierce. I am a Jew. My ancestors two generations before me were slaughtered in the USSR (now Ukraine). I am a Christian. My Lord loves all His children infinity plus two. That includes Palestinians, Mexicans, Chinese and fill in the blank. Genocide is genocide. It must stop.

Dr. West makes a great point about Kamala Harris being afraid of the big money people who run the party. Again, fill in the blank. Democratic. Republican.

It is obvious our courts are bought and paid for. Our police in Arkansas refuse to investigate the major employers or court employees who brazenly violate basic rights of the common citizen.

Grandma Clara watched as her brothers and sisters and mother were killed. She miraculously escaped and ran – on her legs – across the Ukraine to Poland. She made it to Germany and one step ahead of Hitler, crossed the Atlantic in steerage to Ellis Island. For what?

Vote your conscience. Live your conscience. A holocaust survivor once told me, “our minds are the only things they can’t take from us.” Use yours.
