Momentous Decision - Published in AJC



October 9th 2016

In November Americans face a momentous decision regarding the direction in which we take our country. On the one hand we can decide to follow a progressive agenda aimed at helping all Americans with inclusive policies that encourage growth with equality. On the other hand we can revert to isolationism that rewards the rich and marginalized the poor and minorities in our society. No matter what we think of the personal traits of the candidates, it is the policies, programs and actions they take that will directly impact us all. Our choice should be made on sound reasoning and clear thinking about how they will govern, not how loudly or bombastically they extol their own virtues or mock their opponents.  And in the final analysis we need to remember the position of military control that we will give one of these candidates that could determine the very future of our world. So regardless of what our biases, are we have to think very carefully before casting that vote. It is clearly a choice of going forward positively into the future with Hillary, or going backward negatively into the past with Trump.
