If you find yourself questioning former President Trump’s approach or feel that he may not be the best candidate to lead us forward, you’re not alone. A steady succession of ex-administration advisers – including some of his highest-ranking Cabinet officials who spoke or met with him regularly – have spoken out against his leadership and character, a remarkable break in precedent.  It’s perfectly acceptable  for you to reevaluate your options. 

Here in New Hampshire we like to emphasize the values of democracy, respect for diverse viewpoints, and the importance of engaging in the political process. While Kamala Harris may not align with all your ideals, it’s essential to consider the broader implications of our votes and the future of our country.

If you believe that certain policies or her leadership style could positively impact our nation, then exercising your right to vote for Kamala Harris is not only your prerogative but also a reflection of your commitment to informed decision-making.

Voting against Trump—or for Kamal Harris—is not a betrayal to your party or beliefs; it’s an exercise of your right to choose what you believe is best for our country. In doing so, you are fulfilling your duty as an informed citizen and prioritizing the principles that matter most to you and your community.

Embrace the courage to make a choice based on your convictions, and remember that the strength of our democracy lies in the ability to speak up, question, and vote according to our beliefs. True patriotism is about participating in the democratic process and making choices based on the betterment of society. So, if you feel that supporting Harris would be a step towards achieving shared goals or addressing pressing issues, then it’s within your rights and responsibilities as an American citizen to cast your vote accordingly. Your vote is your voice—make it a powerful one.
