Stick to facts regarding GOP

I feel compelled to respond to Mr. Hause, who really needs to stick to the facts.

• Donald Trump, the leading GOP candidate for president, asserted that Mexicans crossing the border were "criminals" and "rapists" and wants to round up 11 million already here and send them back without conern for feasibility, cost or impact on families.

• The Republican controlled Congress and their candidates refuse to endorse equal pay for women and, instead, spend their efforts trying to defund Planned Parenthood over fraudulent and discredited photos doctored by an anti-abortion group.

• There's no debate among scientists regarding humans contributing to climate change. Only neanderthals in the GOP deny what's happening to our planet.

• Trump's tax plan, like all from Republicans, favor the wealthiest people who support them. A tax holiday for corporations hoarding trillions overseas, reducing the rate from the 39 to 25 percent while eliminating the inheritance tax sure doesn't favor the Middle-Class!

• Lastly, religious freedoms aren't being jeopardized by Obama or the Supreme Court. They continue to be a cornerstone to our Democracy even though Ben Carson has an issue with Muslims.
