Trump's dream

When Martin Luther King, Jr. gave his famous “I have a dream” speech, his message was one of inclusion and equality. It was about coming together to build a stronger nation. It’s an ideal that I’m proud to say my state of Massachusetts has always fought for. Unfortunately, Republican Party leader Donald Trump also has a dream. He has a dream that one day America will be isolated by a wall, to shut out those who would come here for a better life. He has a dream that one day America will judge people by color, creed, and country of origin. He has a dream that one day America will have no more Muslims or mosques, Planned Parenthood, or Social Security. In a time when our nation should come together, Donald Trump and his Republican Party seek to rip us apart. He renewed his call to ban all Muslims from entering the country. He even suggested President Obama was somehow involved in the tragedy in Orlando. It’s unbelievable. Trump is a bully, but more than that, he’s dangerous. If he were running for “Bully in Chief,” he’d win in a landslide. Unfortunately, he’s running for president. And if he wins, we all lose. If we don’t act together to defeat Trump, it will be a disaster. Show you’re committed to defeating Donald Trump. Sign on >> Donald Trump wants to see Mr. King’s dream crushed. He’s proven time and again, with his racist and misogynistic remarks, that he has no understanding of the principle of inclusion at the heart of our great nation. He’s called climate change -- one of our biggest challenges -- a “hoax.” He accused a respected federal judge from Indiana of bias because of his Mexican heritage. He’s even said that women should be punished for exercising their reproductive rights. Trump and his Republican allies are not going to back down from their fight to destroy the values that made the United States of America the great country it already is. We cannot back down in our fight to stop them. We must come together to defeat Donald Trump. Show you’re committed by adding your name to mine. This won’t be easy. But we have a proud tradition in this nation -- we come together to face our greatest challenges and overcome them. This is our chance to renew that tradition once again. Thank you.
