Marxism charge is outrageous

I am 69 years old with seven children, 20 grandchildren and three great-grandsons, mixed races, who are members of the human race on this planet. I am outraged that Don Graham (Oct. 11) would call the president of the United States a Marxist.

I am and will be independent in all my actions and thinking.

Our current president stepped into a cesspool on the day he took office. The opposing party vowed that day to do and say anything to make him a one-term president. Congress has blocked at every turn any suggestion he has presented.

My spiritual life is precious to me, as I have given up living in the past and only live and enjoy each day I have my health. I belong to no organized religion and never will.

I feel the same about politics.

I will never vote for a president or vice president that lets their misguided religious beliefs interfere with state affairs. No male human will make decisions concerning my five daughters’ or 14 granddaughters’ decisions.

I will never vote for a president who has the nerve to have offshore accounts or a $100 million IRA account. It’s incredible to me that anyone would vote for that legal tax dodger.
