Dear Editor, Many voters are disappointed with Trump’s handling of the COVID crisis, tired of the routine spin and lies, and no longer fooled by claims that tax cuts and other GOP initiatives really benefit the middle class. Most Americans want real structural change in their government, with leaders who will stand for ethical principles […]
