We in Staunton have a choice to make. It is up to us. Shall we choose solar energy ? Twenty one years ago, I was adopted into the Shenandoah family, Wolf Clan, Oneida Nation of the Haudenosaunee Confederacy (People of the Long House). White people call them Iroquois. We are taught to listen to our elders, learn to respect and act responsibly. Oren Lyons, 93, Wolf Clan, is an Onondaga Chief, and world leader of peace who teaches — The Earth is our Mother. She gives everything we need for life. Imagine a living pine tree clinging to a cliff; getting all it needs for life from the earth. We are like that pine tree. Our Mother Earth provides, but time is running out. We have little time to make changes in order to survive. The economy of nations will be broken by natural disasters. We see more disasters every year: hurricanes, snow melt, coastlines washing into the seas, wild fires, drought, flooding, on and on. The haze today brings this reality to Staunton, VA. We must fol
Dear Congressman Benjamin Cline,
Quote from you “Voting is one of the most important things you can do in life…..” I agree.
VOTING RIGHTS and DEMOCRACY are not protected when voter intimidation is active and permitted in the current election. Republicans did not support the latest Voter Protection Act and “Instead 19 stated enacted 34 laws restricting access to voting”. Quote from brennancenter.org
STANDARDS OF CARE for women are not being met after overturned of Roe vs Wade and the passage of “trigger laws” in Republican led states. There is real confusion about what care is legal and when that care is legal. When women are respected and equal, they have control of their own body instead of local politicians. A precedent right has been taken away from me. Do you support even more restrictions on women such as a National ban on abortions ? Mr Cline, the answer is simple…Yes or No!
VIOLENCE INCREASES because of the “BIG LIE”, while you and other election officials have lacked the courage to speak out against this behavior. Jan 6, insurrection, continuous threats on poll workers, and most recently attack on Paul Pelosi (with attacker using old chant from Capitol attack, “Where is Nancy?”) are several examples of the increased violence.
DEFUND THE POLICE ! If there was a bill in Congress to Defund the Police, please send me that information. Remember that your Republican colleagues shouted "Defund the FBI" after the lawful search of Mar-a-lago. President Biden explicitly says "Fund the Police" !
SOCIAL SECURITY AND MEDICARE are on the chopping block for elimination by the Republicans . I do not support this future action. DO YOU? The answer is simple…Yes or No!
I also grew up in Shenandoah Valley and learned my values from home, church, school, and community. I want QUICK ACTION to SUPPORT our DEMOCRACY. My vote will reflect my values without threatening your personal values. I will cast my vote for candidates who “walk the walk” and who do not just “talk the talk”.
HOPING FOR A BETTER FUTURE IN VIRGINIA !
Respectfully,
Ms. Carol Poulson
Staunton, Virginia
