To the Editor:
The election is upon us. We are about to witness the historical choice our country has made regarding the future of this great experiment in a democratic republic operating under our constitution. Plenty of words will be said about the result but, for now, thank you to all of our citizens who voted. Those who studied the issues and, to the extent possible, turned from their own issues to consider those facing our city, state and country. Let us find out that there was no interference by any political party, by any foreign nation, by anyone trying to change the representative character of our government, in the election vote. There are a lot of issues still out there, some of them are: climate crisis, wealth disparity, criminal justice, our standards of civility, our political standing in the world, how our economics will be focused, and how we characterize our nation with regard to other countries. There are many causes that still require our attention and they're not going anywhere without us.
