I don't usually write letters to the editor, but the cartoon
you published in last week's paper compelled me to speak up. It showed a
caricature of Hillary Clinton that read "Insults Our Intelligence". I want it to be known that she doesn't insult
my intelligence. As an intelligent,
well-educated, and well-read woman, I find her amazing, I admire her, and I
support her bid as the first woman President of the United States of
America. I have long admired her, but in
2003 when I read her book, Living History (which is in the Harney County
Library), I became a devoted supporter even sending money to her campaign for
senator in New York, and I didn't live in New York. I find her work as a public servant inspiring.
I find her grit, determination, and forthrightness to be applauded. There is a whole generation of women who look
up to her for guidance and inspiration. Without women like her, women today
would not enjoy the hard won rights they have. I realize that not everyone
shares my opinion of her. In polling numbers from the New York Times in July,
she polls worst with white males with no college degree. This demographic group is not the majority
they used to be. They now seem to feel threatened. Powerful women threaten
certain types of men. Maybe these white males are coming to understand the
discrimination that women, African Americans, Native Americans, the LGBTQ
community, Hispanics, Asian Americans, and other minority groups have suffered
for hundreds of years in this country. I
appeal to disaffected voters to look again at what Hillary Clinton and the
Democratic Party stand for. The platform is on her web site:
HillaryClinton.com/issues. Learn who she is and what she wants for this country
instead of listening to media pundits. Hillary Clinton has all the
qualifications it takes to step into the White House on day one and lead us for
the next four years. I trust her with my life, and I trust her to lead this
country. Deal me in!
