Choice for our future

The coming November presidential election offers a stark choice for voters: (a) keep the existing president, or (b) switch to someone new. Often when faced with such decisions, I consider which choice would be best not only for me, but for my kids and the future of our country and the world.

When I look at the path America traveled for the last three to four years and whether I want to stay on it for my kids and the young ones of our country, the answer is clearly no; I’m ready for someone that can be a positive leader going into tomorrow, defeat the beatable coronavirus, improve everyone’s health care and then grow the economy for us all. I want a good person to be my president, who will make the best decisions and work to unite our sharply divided country. Someone with a big heart for others, not big money.

Additionally, the world has another tremendous threat, climate change, that our current president will fail to prepare for, but like the coronavirus, it will continue its march into our lives and the lives of our kids and grandkids with more impact each year. Like the coronavirus, it’s a worldwide issue that needs a worldwide solution that starts now, before it’s too late. Doing nothing should not be the choice. I urge my brothers and sisters in Arkansas to please vote for Biden and give our country and the world a chance to shift the impact of climate change before the opportunity is gone.

And if you are going to vote by mail, request your ballot soon and then return it as soon as possible; it must go only to your county clerk’s election office. And stay safe. CLIFF SCOGIN
