In our country’s recent history, many people have become disengaged with our political system. Voting down the party line is a common practice aimed at keeping the “lesser of two evils” from coming into power. I am writing to you today to let you know that I stand solidly for human rights, and I will vote accordingly. Whether that means voting Democrat, Republican, Third Party, Uncommitted, writing in a candidate, or submitting a blank ballot, I will confidently dedicate my vote ONLY to those who oppose Israel’s genocidal assault on Gaza. And while this is certainly not the only issue that I am concerned with, it IS a hard, red line. Consider this simple fact every time you have the opportunity to vote on legislation that supports the destruction of a people, in whole or in part. Or, for that matter, fostering economic or law enforcement partnerships with a country such as Israel, who is currently committing genocide and crimes against humanity against the Palestinian people. Remember, the lesser of two evils is still decidedly evil. Take a stand for human rights and you can count on my vote at the ballot.
