To the Editor:

I am dismayed that Congressional District 21 will continue to be “represented” by a far right Republican. People who voted for Constantino voted against their own interests. Why do you still want the most expensive health care system and pharmaceuticals in the developed world?

Many people cannot afford medical care and/or are in debt for medical care. Why do you want to continue to live in a little run down house with no hope of improvement given the current real estate prices? Why do you want to pay almost five dollars a gallon for gasoline and almost seven dollars a gallon for diesel fuel? Not to mention the astronomical prices of groceries that get worse every day. Communities are threatened with ICE raids. They could come for anyone. Democratic principles and laws no longer apply. Why do you want to continue to fight a totally unnecessary war with Iran, which is destroying economies all over the world? Why do you want an insane deficit that is causing severe inflation? What is “Nobody’s Man But Yours” going to do for you? I don’t get it. 

Please explain to me why you supported Constantino and answer the above questions. I have lost all faith in humanity. I just don’t understand it. Why choose chaos and animosity over peace and tranquility? Please explain. Thank you.
