It’s time for this country to move forward. The conservative right has finally gotten their long awaited majority in the Supreme Court. Now they can push forward their agenda of family values and stopping abortion rights. The conservative minority has overlooked the lies and deceit in the Republican party for too long now in order to get this Court in their favor.

I believe most conservatives do not agree with the deplorable behavior that has been seen by many Republicans, and really do want to heal the divide in this country. I hope they look long and hard at voting for Democratic candidates. The only way for the old white Republican guard to bow out is to be voted out. Diversity will be the future America.

Republicans, please come back to the middle and vote for character in a candidate instead of party.
