You absolutely HAVE TO VOTE IN NOVEMBER!!

Haven't posted for a long time but desperately need to share what's on my mind.

It hasn't been that long ago but I can remember when, driving up to Cleveland, you couldn't see the top of the buildings for the smog and the horrible smell as you entered the city that made your eyes water. I remember when the Cuyahoga River caught fire because of all the pollutants in the water. I remember when they warned against eating the fish in Lake Erie because of the pollution. Some may remember the lime fields near Barberton that looked like an alien planet.

All of these terrible things improved with the long-range visionary work of people who realized the importance of taking care of the only world we will ever have.  The air and the water got cleaner.

But don't get excited that Scott Pruitt resigned, thinking we're going to be okay now. Turns out his replacement is even more dangerous. Now we have a coal lobbyist and climate denier who clearly has an agenda to help big business, regardless of damage done to the planet and environment. This is yet another person in the current administration who cares nothing for the future of this planet, and nothing for the future of our children and the world in which they will be living.

Climate deniers will quote from scientists who have no background in environmental issues. Virtually every scientist in the field and every other advanced country agrees we are killing our world. And the most frightening thing is, it may be too late to stop it.

I don't buy it that the Trump administration doesn't believe in climate change; I believe they refuse to acknowledge it because it cuts into their profits. And what do they care? They won't be around to deal with the damage.

This is only one dangerous issue of the Trump regime. The hurtful and inhumane immigration policies, the unleashing of white supremacy, the total disregard for elderly and impoverished and the dangerous national security policies are just a partial list of what this administration sells. And believe me, he's selling it hard and unfortunately, too many are buying it.  And what saddens me most is, when I talk with a Trump supporter, the only thing they care about is how they believe he is going to help them without regard to anyone else. Sadly, they believe every promise and every lie.

Which brings me to the point of this post. WE ALL NEED TO MAKE SURE WE'RE REGISTERED AND THEN WE ALL NEED TO GET TO THE POLLS IN NOVEMBER AND VOTE. We are truly the only thing that stands in the way of Trump's total control. We have to change the numbers in Congress and in the House. WE HAVE TO.
