Not just law and order

Hey, Republicans out there. Listen up; what are we doing? A main party campaign issue President Trump and Rep. McMorris Rogers are running on in this election is “law and order.” We are being shown scenes of protests, looting, and rioting in cities as proof for our concern.

If Trump and CMR want law and order they can move to Russia, Turkey or the Philippines, where governments strive for law and order. That’s wrong, and not what we need, or want. If Trump and CMR are re-elected, are the Floyd, BLM, and Taylor protests, with the Proud Boys and Antifa causing havoc, going to stop? Of course not. Trump’s and CMR’s only solution is to lock them all up. Will that stop the protesters? Of course not.

What we need is not law and order, but instead … law, justice and order. We will not achieve any semblance of order in this country without a justice component. Equal justice is the only way the less fortunate, minority, and female gender of our nation can achieve success. With their success, reasons for protests will diminish and end. What’s the chance Trump and CMR will do anything about equal justice if re-elected? Our best chance for obtaining equal justice in this country are Democrats Joe Biden and Dave Wilson. I know that it’s hard for us to contemplate, but if you think hard, you’ll know it’s true.

Please join me in voting for the law, justice, and order candidates Joe Biden and Dave Wilson.
