Dear Editor:                                
I am a free thinking conservative, constitutionalist veteran. I, like all veterans, took an oath to protect and defend this country and our constitution from all enemies, foreign and domestic. I was never relieved of that duty!
Our President seems determined to destroy our Constitution and rights while the majority of citizens sit watching this happen, and do nothing. He has shown us that he is incompetent, dishonest and has proven to be untrustworthy.
I don’t care if you are white, black, brown, red, yellow, purple or pink.
I don’t care if you are greeted on stage like a rock star, or are handsome with an  amazing public speaking ability.
Those are not reasons to vote for someone for any position of leadership within our Government.
I’ll be voting on your ideas and their adherence to our Constitution.
