PROTECT LIFE AT ALL LEVELS; the UNBORN, murders from GUN VIOLENCE, the DEATH PENALTY and NUCLEAR WAR.
A LETTER TO THE WHITE HOUSE TODAY, 2-24-17

Dear President Trump, VP Pence and First Lady Melania Trump, I agree with you that we mus protect human life, but I have to say that the Republican Party hasn't done enough to safeguard all human life. I am disappointed and saddened by your party's unwillingness to do more to protect; the unborn, and those who are already born! 33,000 of our fellow Americans get slaughtered every year by bullets- by gun violence. And many more are killed with the death penalty! That's not defending life but taking it! Only God has the right to give it and take it away, not the US government!

I regret to say that the Republican Party has refused to enact/support common sense laws, that control and prevent guns from reaching the wrong people, like criminals, the mentally unstable, immature/irresponsible people and terrorists. It saddens me that your party hasn't done anything to pass laws that protect human life against gun violence. In fact, the Republican Party supports the NRA. 

Another thing that the Republican Party hasn't done- abolish the death penalty. This is a horrible way to administer justice- the US is one of the few countries in the world that uses this atrocious method. The people who are executed are usually poor, minorities, and sometimes some of them are also innocent!

The republican party wants to repeal/abolish the Obama Care, but yet it has no better plan to replace it! How can you support life if you get rid of this health care plan? People will be without protection and many will die! That's not supporting life.

Yesterday, President Trump announced that he wants to increase our nuclear arsenal. How will this protect human life? The US has almost 7,000nuclear warheads and Russia 7,000. These are enough to destroy our planet many times over! Why waste more billions to get more weapons? When we know that will not make us any more secure? Even former Soviet Union president, Mikhail Gorbachev, said recently (2-13-17 NY Times Magazine), and I quote:

"I think that the initiative to adopt such a resolution should come from Donald Trump and Vladimir Putin- the presidents of two nations that hold over 90% of the world’s nuclear arsenals and therefore bear a special responsibility.”

Mr. President, VP Pence, and First Lady; as a Christian, a husband, father of two, and retired veteran I beg you to work for peace, prosperity for all people, and to protection all human life- not just the unborn, and the destruction of the environment, but also work to abolish the death penalty and prevent a nuclear war.
