Humble letter: Party platforms

Unhappy with presidential choices? Quit looking at the candidates, look at the platforms. Explore what works for your vote. For those that like to go beyond what the platform is saying ... look at how the party’s historical policies work for what you believe can make a difference. Ask yourself, has the party done what serves the public interest? Has the party been self-serving? Are they meeting the country’s needs? Meeting your needs?

Whatever choice you make, your vote counts. Please vote.

Jill Humble, Boise
