Time’s of the essence

If you’re concerned that two nuclear-armed adversaries are led by psychopathic narcissists engaged in a nuclear holocaust of words that is on a slippery slide toward reality, it’s time for you to give a damn.

If you’re troubled that our president apparently favors white supremacists, and lauds neo-Nazis for having “good people,” it’s time for you to give a damn.

If you’re apprehensive about following a president who is guided by alternative facts, has become a font of fake news and is obsessed that the media uses his words to articulate his disdain for the truth, it’s time for you to give a damn.

If you’re wary of a president who regularly applauds Vladimir Putin and dismisses the damage Russia is believed to have perpetrated on our democratic process in the 2016 presidential election and continues to perpetrate today, it’s time for you to give a damn.

If you’re fearful of supporting an administration that has surrounded itself with sycophants, billionaires and likely Russian-funded traitors, it’s time for you to give a damn.

If you’re dismayed that the stellar reputation of the Oval Office has been defiled by its current occupant, it’s time for you to give a damn.

If America’s ever-eroding standing in the world, due in large measure to a president who believes climate change is a hoax, causes you any pause, it’s time for you to give a damn.

If a president who deflects rather than confronts, destroys as opposed to builds, conceals instead of reveals (as in his problematic tax returns) strikes you as disingenuous, nigh fraudulent, it’s time for you to give a damn.

If you care about America, it’s time for you to give a damn. Time is running out. HARRY HERGET Little Rock
