This is a plea to vote in the upcoming primary and presidential elections. Regardless of which party you feel allegiance to, please vote for the candidate that puts the good of all people above him/herself; who will protect the Constitution and the rights of even the most lowly of citizens; who is ethical and shoes kindness and integrity in all forms of communication; who is knowledgeable of the global needs of all nations, and the earth; who will support the young people of our country and the world and will be an example to them of inclusiveness, respect, compassion and service to others; who can make sound fiscal decisions and appointments based on factual information.

No candidate will be perfect, and history has shown that many presidents grow into good leaders for not just our nation, but the world. That is when we are truly a great nation.
