Our most powerful weapons: voices, votes

For every day the Trump Administration remains in office, we are falling behind by two to five days, in my opinion, in the advancement of manufacturing technology, developments in medicines, advancements in renewable energy and the initiatives needed to save our planet.

Advancing the development and manufacture of weapons of war will not save our planet nor will it prepare our children for the challenges that lie ahead. While the current administration plays their war games, our most capable adversaries are taking advantage of this distraction.

As citizens of this country, our most powerful weapons can be our voice and our vote: if we use them.
