To the editor,
I am 88 years of age and still of sound mind and body. At least, I think so! Since the election of Trump and the MAGA team, I stopped reading political news. I was angry, frightened and depressed. I felt helpless. I still harbor some of these feelings, but now realize I must do what I can to fight the dangers and regressions being perpetrated by Trump. His mantra is destroy, demean and destruct.
I am a member of the following organizations, which reflect my values and political persuasion. I support them financially and sign various petitions they file with appropriate politicians and organizations. This is done online.
Moveon.org, Commoncause.org and Environmental Defense Fund (edf.org). I do this from the comfort of my home. Easy, convenient and hopefully effective. I must and will try to help my country, my freedoms and our democracy. My message is not just for us older folks. Any and all of us who value our freedoms are encouraged to follow this example.
Very truly yours,
Walter Haug
