Don’t count on Trump reinstating American dream

Last week the American people voted and Donald Trump was elected president, primarily because he achieved a record-high turnout amongst white “working class” voters in the heartland of America. These Americans from states like Wisconsin, Iowa and Michigan turned out in droves, in response to Trump’s campaign promises of a better America through the recognition of their plight, the loss of manufacturing jobs, the widening inequity between the heartland and the rest of the country, in essence, the resurrection of their dignity. 

Have you thanked a school employee?

Thanksgiving is coming soon. Have you thanked the school staff, teachers, assistants, janitors, secretaries, etc. in the Livingston schools? We have a super school system. Believe me, I have been involved in schools throughout the USA for over 55 years. If you have time, have you offered to help the schools? The teachers have tried to walk a balancing act during this election season.

Electoral College is a joke

It looks as if Clinton will have won the general election popular vote by about 2 million votes. This is now twice in the last five elections that the winner of the popular vote did not become president.

The Electoral College is an antiquated joke, serves democracy poorly and must be done away with.

It was a vigil, not a protest

I appreciate the coverage of our candlelight vigil Wednesday evening, but I object to the headline that called it a protest. It was a vigil, not a protest. We accept the outcome of the election, but we needed to show support for all the people who fear for their safety because of the divisive, hateful rhetoric that was unleashed by the Trump campaign.

Come and express your feelings about the growth policy

Nov. 17 at 4 p.m. at the Park County courthouse meeting room is the review of the new “growth policy” for the county. It has not been widely advertised in advance, and meetings are held during the day so working folks are not available easily to attend. I would like to see as many county people who can attend and please show their feelings by coming, and share what they think about the heavily leaning toward zoning proposed document as it is being shared. There, state your feelings.

Event aimed at healing, not protest

While I am thankful that Liz Kearney came, and gave friendly coverage to our vigil, I am a stickler for accuracy, so although they are perhaps minor issues to some readers, I have corrections and additions to The Enterprise story. The vigil most definitely was not organized as a protest. It was aimed squarely at both red and blue, as a plea for healing and attention to affirming the worth of Americans who have felt the bruising, fearful words of divisive political rhetoric. 

Trump makes mockery of the office

It seems the only way the Republicans can move their agenda forward is to have a sociopath as the president of the United States.

If any other Republican candidate had made it to the presidency, there would not be such widespread protests across the country. The Office of the President has been made a mockery by this election.
