A Statement of Values
I speak not from outrage, but from conscience.
I believe leadership should widen the circle of dignity, not narrow it. It should protect the vulnerable, honor truth, and respect the humanity of every person, regardless of origin, belief, or identity.
In recent years, I have felt deep concern about the direction of our national leadership. The tone, the division, and the normalization of misinformation and cruelty do not reflect the America I love or the future I wish to help build.
My disagreement is not personal. It is about values.
I believe democracy requires humility, accountability, and respect for institutions meant to serve all people, not just a few. I believe in compassion, environmental stewardship, and policies grounded in care rather than fear.
We deserve leadership that heals rather than divides, that invites cooperation rather than conflict.
My response is participation ~ voting, speaking, building community, and choosing responsibility over cynicism.
Because this country belongs to all of us, and its future is shaped not only by presidents, but by citizens willing to stand for decency, truth, and humanity.
And that is what I choose.
