Reduced me to a puddle of tears. Gorgeous rendition by the Queen of Soul.
Dear God protect this nation from those with cruelty and no heart who would destroy it.

My letter to the MDNews: Write-in Candidate Maria Robinson, Democrat for State Representative 6th Middlesex District
I would like to
personally endorse a write-in candidate, Maria Robinson, Democrat for
State Representative of the 6th Middlesex District. As stated in the
MetroWest Daily News "voters will write-in candidates during the
September primary. The
candidate with the most votes will then be on the ballot in November."
Here is why I strongly support Maria Robinson. As
Maria has said she has a decade of experience working with state
governments including legislatures, agencies and commissions. She was
also a Town Meeting Member. Most impressively to me she is an MIT
graduate with a degree in chemical engineering and a Master's Degree in
law. Moreover, her platforms encompass diversity. She entertains
progressive policy on education, health care, paid family leave, a
living wage as well as fair and inclusive voting rights, affordable
housing, and senior living. She is supportive of LGBTQ rights, clean energy, consumer protection, immigration and cybersecurity.
She will be a strong, ethical, honest and effective voice of the people giving
the position of Representative 100% of her time and attention. If I am
supporting a candidate one can be assured that dishonesty will not be
a part of her repertoire. It is refreshing to me to have a candidate who believes in humane and
progressive answers to the problems of our time. As an example and as
stated on her web page "she supports the Safe Communities Act which will
allow law enforcement to focus on local crimes instead of acting as an
agent of federal immigration policy.
This law will keep Framingham safer, as it will allow for our citizens to feel comfortable reporting local crimes." Most importantly to me, she supports a pathway to citizenship for DREAMers.
If
voters want to know more about Maria Robinson and more about where she
stands on the issues they can go to www.votemariarobinson.com to take a
look.
I am sure they will be as impressed as I am in her qualifications
for the job. I have no doubt that she will excel in the position of
Representative for the Middlesex 6th District and will give us the kind
of leadership that reflects the better angels of our nature!
Aretha Franklin, The ‘Queen Of Soul,’ Dies At 76
A
giant among musicians. This is when one sees the importance of character. She
lived her Christian faith and all the humanitarian precepts that go with
it putting her voice and her soul in it.

If only those in leadership would take a page from her book of life!
