It’s sad and worrisome how quickly our nation has broken out into anger and unkindness.
On social media, former friends are tearing each other apart. In politics, mean-spiritedness is becoming the norm. Is this really the best we can do?
It’s difficult to wade through all the lies and distortions of political attack ads. But those who want our votes next month have track records showing exactly how they have governed. The man who wants to be governor again has a consistent record of berating and fighting with those who don’t agree with him. Our present governor has guided our state through some very challenging times, with no mudslinging, no insults, no fights.
We can make a difference by electing people who can work together for the benefit of all Maine citizens. Please, let’s vote for civility for the benefit of our children and grandchildren.
