Conservatives "come home" to Hillary, because "...I'm famous, so I'm entitled to grab you, your wife, or your daughter by the crotch..." -DT

Open Letter to Center-Right Republican and Independent Voters

PRINCIPLES BEFORE PARTY

We trust her 100%. Why is this, when all we hear from her opponent is "crooked Hillary, blah, blah, blah"?

To Hillary supporters, this election is a no-brainer, but for you, voting for Hillary may be a major leap of faith. 

I understand conservatism, but I also know you don't really want to support.....

  • overt racism. 
  • respecting women based on their physical rating between 1-10. 
  • "..if I'm famous, I'm entitled to grab you or your daughter by the crotch".  
  • religious interrogation at our airports for all passengers.  
  • a billionaire, who's personal wealth has increased more than tenfold in the last 18 years to NOT PAY A SINGLE DIME IN TAXES, leaving you and I holding the debt. 
  • insulting POW's, handicapped folks, 
  • a narcissist, someone who has done more to damage the world view of the United States in a mere year than anyone has ever done in a lifetime.  
  • a white nationalist who believes you're inferior if you're not white and of European descent, fully supported and endorsed by the KKK.
  • concentration camps set up to deport American Hispanics.
  • destroying the First Amendment by shutting down opposing journalistic views.
  • xenophobia, fear of those who not born in the United States.
  • increased oil production, more leaky pipelines, less clean energy.
  • wars waged in the name of oil and weapons profits.
  • threatening to kill opposing political foes.

This Trump story has already played itself out in history
"Made Germany Great Again"
In 1928, a xenophobic leader in Germany declared that he would "Make Germany Great Again". Convincing his people that his FASCIST MANIFESTO was in the best interest of Germany following WWI.  He used the war machine to rebuild his economy, ejected "undesirable" Jews, took over media in order to push his propaganda, and essentially convinced his population that his solutions, while vague, were in their best interest.

How in God's name can you reject the lessons of history to help this man rise to power? It's not like it all happened in the middle ages; it happened between 1928 and 1945. In a mere 17 years, over 60 million people perished in a war that would have been avoided, if only the people had refused to be seduced and intoxicated by Hitler's propaganda. 

So, taking Trump off the table, you'll be voting for clean energy, protection from Wall Street wrecking the economy again, for middle class workers, women's rights, for children, animal rights, common sense background checks for gun purchases, while protecting and strengthening the 2nd Amendment.  

You'll be voting for a strong world leader at a time in history when we really need a good one. We need an intelligent and well informed Commander-in-Chief. One that won't shoot first and ask questions later. One that does not condone small nations to acquire nuclear weapons. One who will choose negotiation over war. One that the world trusts. One that will bring nations together to solve the problems of the world. One that will elevate humanity and not pander to the darker side of human nature. 

DAVID BROCK
Investigative Journalist David Brock
David Brock was known as the “right-wing hit man” in the mid and late 1990’s. His articles were designed to discredit Bill Clinton and de-legitimize his Presidency as well as destroy any future political advancement by Hillary Clinton. He later recanted his own articles, is now a Hillary Clinton supporter and an attack dog for progressives. He is also the founder of Media Matters. 

 In his atonement, he admits that he was part of a right-wing conspiracy to smear and derail Bill’s presidency and Hillary Clinton’s future. In his book “Killing the Messenger,” Brock talks of the Republican conspiracy of what he describes as “a steady infiltration of mainstream by the right-wing factories of disinformation”.   

You have heard for years, decades in fact, that Hillary is corrupt. From Whitewater to Benghazi to Emails, she has been painted by the conservative pundits as someone guilty of crimes, guaranteed to be indicted and sent to prison. I sometimes listen to right-wing radio, just to see what new attack they're going to come up with. They define the email scandal like this; "Hillary broke the law, she's under criminal investigation, and she's going to prison". The reality is that no law was broken, she is not under criminal investigation, and after congressional inquiries and investigations, there is absolutely nothing there to suggest that she deleted any classified emails, or shared emails with anyone inappropriately. Her server was never hacked, and every single email sent from her server pertaining to State Department business was sent to a government server, and therefore stored on the (.gov) server. Her email address had her personal domain on the extension, and so everybody was aware, and no laws were broken. The practice of using her personal server had been used by every Secretary of State before her, including Colin Powell, Dick Cheney, Madeline Albright, etc. It is non-starter from the beginning, but claims of corruption continue to be sold by right-wing journalists as fact with a guarantee of prosecution. She's as clean as a whistle here, but the attacks continue, causing many who have been influenced by this propaganda machine to be convinced that she is corrupt. 

"...THAT WHICH REMAINS ... MUST BE THE TRUTH..."
Thinking logically, if she were guilty of anything, all she would have to do in order to make it go away would be to drop out of politics, make a lot of money doing speeches, and live happily ever after. Hillary has always fought for what is right, and has the experience, brains, and has a network of people that she trusts in order to get things done. Her Senate track record is stellar for the middle class, both men and women, children, environment, economy and global issues. A simple web search "Hillary Clinton Senate Voting Record" reveals the hard work and accomplishments of this woman. 

 TOO BIG A GAMBLE
Trump is too big of a gamble. Hillary's ability to take the punches and not cower to bullies, her intelligence, her inspiration to women and girls world-wide, combined with the good work she has done as first lady, Senator, and Secretary of State show her passion and guts. She's still standing strong, because she knows she has the moral high ground. The work that her family has done world-wide with the Clinton Foundation is something that nobody else could or would do, and has benefited mankind greatly so far, and there's much left to be done. I encourage you to read the article on the Clinton Foundation. She has always stood up for children and her voting record is stellar. She stands up for the working class, supporting unions and collective bargaining, safe working conditions and equal pay for women. We really need to wean ourselves off of oil now. Her position on clean energy and creating perhaps a million or more good paying jobs through solar incentives added to the tens of thousands of jobs created by improving our crumbling infrastructure. There is no down side to having this woman run the show. We just know this to be true. 

 BIG GOVERNMENT
Bigger government under Hillary:. There is no evidence to suggest that Hillary would create a bigger government. Under Bill Clinton, government shrunk, and we ran a budget surplus for the first time in a long time. We were making progress cutting our national debt after Reagan and Bush1 tripled the debt with mass military buildup. After eight years under Clinton, we were running a budget surplus. Under G.W.Bush, reckless wars blasted the budget back into the stratosphere, followed by the 2008 crash, which exacerbated the problem with runaway unemployment reducing revenues further. Gas prices blasted all the way up to over $5 per gallon under GWBush, costing Americans another few thousand dollars per year. The truth of the matter is that government spending always soars under a Republican President, and is reduced under a Democratic President. Look at the charts.  As we know, oil companies, weapons manufacturers, the pharmaceutical industry and the NRA have a huge influence on regulations (or lack thereof). Lack of regulations allowed banks to act irresponsibly in the early 2000's, leading to the economic crash of 2008. Lack of regulations is the reason so many children were poisoned in Flint, Michigan. Lack of regulations is the reason the Orlando killer was able to obtain an assault weapon. Yes, it was about terrorism, but it was also about lack of common sense background checks and the ability of the FBI to track the movements of a known ISIS sympathizer. The gun lobby has far too much influence in our Congress. Regulations are absolutely necessary, for our own protection, and for the future of this planet.

So, in the absence of any actual proof that Hillary is crooked, in spite of the dozens of fake scandals thrown into our faces, we choose NOT to listen to them. 

We DO NOT question the honesty and integrity of Hillary Clinton, but we DO question honesty and integrity of those who throw fake scandal after fake scandal at the wall, hoping that wave after wave of negative reports will cause a perceived plausibility within the electorate. Their objective, while they know their claims are lies, is to cause enough question in your mind that you would never vote for someone who might be that corrupt. It's not easy defending these things, since we're fighting three decades of accumulated misinformation. 

Help us make the much needed improvements in Washington, the Nation, and around the world. Take a leap of faith. You'll be glad you did.
VOTE TRUE ..... VOTE BLUE
