The Republican Party has changed dramatically, leaving us voters who believe in truth, equality, and fairness behind. They cry “they’re trying to take away all our rights!” and air propaganda every day, cajoling you to despise a third of your fellow Americans. Listen carefully to their hateful message. Over the years we have elected many presidents, legislators and governors with principles, common decency, and a will to make the U.S.A. and the world a better place. What has happened?

I was a Republican for 50 years. No more.
