Dear Editor,
One of the activities at last week’s No Kings Vote Early Event in Dodgeville was a “Future Box”. You were invited to describe in a few words what you would like our future to be. The activity was popular. And what struck me about the responses was how many common comments there were. So many people wanted peace. Many comments had to do with meeting people’s needs in housing, health care, education, the economy and wealth equality. There were hopes around environmental protections and to preserve our natural resources.
There were hopeful comments on treating each other with dignity, kindness, respect and fairness. There were comments about a time when money is out of politics, there is separation between church and state, and the branches of government are balanced. And comments about the hope we have in our youth to bring us to a better place. Who can’t get behind these ideas? Seems like we have a lot more in common than we do differences. You have a REAL opportunity to vote for your future November 3.
