Dear Fellow Bernie Sanders Supporters, I am writing you as my last act as Jefferson County Bernie delegation lead to ask that you join me in voting for Hillary Clinton and avert the horrific possibility of a Trump presidency. Let me immediately acknowledge that Hillary is no Bernie Sanders and that many of the things Bernie stands for are not likely to gain much traction with Ms. Clinton as president. That said, on the single most important issue facing America and the world, Climate Change, Ms. Clinton's policies are far closer to Bernie's than to those of Climate Change denying “I love coal” Trump. According to many of the world’s leading climate scientists, some 80% of already discovered fossil fuel reserves must never be burned if we are to avert widespread Climate Change disaster. (Even as I write, Cedar Rapids is bracing for its second 100-year flood in just eight years.) Eight years of Trump’s “drill baby, drill,” pro-coal, anti-regulation policies would mean “game over” for Climate Change and irreversibly threaten life on our planet as we know it. This must not happen. Bottom line? Either Hillary Clinton or Donald Trump is going to be our next president. We owe it to our children and all future generations to make sure that we elect a president who will not sacrifice their well-being at the altar of the fossil fuel industry. Please join me in voting for Hillary to make sure that sacrifice does not happen. With love and respect, Jonas Magram P.S. Of course, there are MANY significant reasons a Trump presidency would be a disaster for America; Climate Change is simply and by far the most significant among these. Thank God someone in Iowa has some sense. From my FB feed of some FF'ers I have come to see they live in a fantasy world of 'revolution' and third party presidents. Some are even so deluded to believe Putin a wise and generous leader whose purported banning of GMO's is testimony to his enlightened governing. Snort. What bullocks. Hopefully some of these deluded citizens will listen to this Jonas Magram and come to whatever senses they might possess.
