Vote Female (Or You Are Insecure)

Vote Female (Or You Are Insecure)

To the Editor

On the ballot Nov. 8th throughout Delaware county, five females are running for State Representative, a female is running for President, a female is running for US Senate and one is running for Congress. That’s incredible ! What progress, right ? Maybe progress in Pennsylvania but we are still way behind. There is a higher percentage of female lawmakers in Afghanistan than there are in Pennsylvania. There are more than 75 countries that have a higher percentage of female lawmakers than the US. Why is that ? Is it because many American men fear voting for strong females ? When I hear all the comments or read all the e/mails from men about females running for public office, I realize how insecure these guys are with females who are strong and assertive. I personally believe we need more women in government. After all females compromise of more than 50% of our population. Most females can multi-task, get things done and still be great wives and mothers. I reject all the male-chauvinistic statements and e/mail chain-letters about how weak females will be if elected to public office. So to my male friends, if you ever loved a mom, a wife, a sister or a daughter, try to be patient and don’t be afraid to support females that are running for office. I strongly believe if we had more women in government, maybe we would have political harmony in our Country and less wars throughout the world. Relax guys, its their time now.

Declare Trump Support GOP — Letter To Editor

Declare Trump Support GOP — Letter To Editor

Dear Editor,

The voters in Delaware County need to know where do all of the local Republican candidates stand with their Presidential nominee, Donald Trump. With all of the publicity coming out of the Trump campaign, the voters and the Press should know if the local Republican politicians support their presidential candidate.

Recently about 100 key national republican leaders from Congress, to Governors, to former Bush national security advisers have withdrew their support of Donald Trump. So I am asking the Press and all of the good Republican voters of Delaware County to demand from your candidates now, whether they will support Trump or not. The voters need to ask Congressman Pat Meehan, all of the state office candidates and even their county, township and borough’s republican elected representatives, if they will support Trump for President in November.

I challenge all of the Republican elected candidates and the current office-holders, whether they are running for office this year or not, to take a stand, be honest with everyone and tell the people of Delaware County if they believe in Donald Trump.
