LETTER: I’m voting for a set of policies I believe in

I don’t want to have to choose between the lesser of two evils.

A gentleman in Peninsula Voices in the Tuesday, August 16, paper suggested I vote for a candidate who will do the least harm.

This implies the person I vote for is going to do harm.

I prefer to vote for a candidate we don’t expect to harm our country.

Jill Stein, the nominee for the Green Party, wants to break up big banks, end predatory lending, forgive student debt, mobilize our country to deal with a failing environment (as well as the economic fixes I just mentioned), end senseless wars and proposes that we stop funding and feeding terrorism.

This set of policies is something I can vote for, and I won’t be voting for the lesser of two evils.

I suggest voting for the candidate who can repair our problems rather than sustain them.

Bill Dole,

Port Angeles
