"I love my country,
sometimes even more than it loves me."
Dear Mr. President Elect,
I am just a small town country
girl that you have never heard of and whose voice you will
never hear. You will probably never see this. It probably
won't be shared enough or even at all. It may as well be
gone as soon as I hit publish.
All of that said, I am going to
use my small voice to tell you what I think and feel, what I
hope comes of this.
I hope you prove me wrong. I
hope you do make America great again as you say you will.
America needs saving.
I hope you close the great
divide that we have suffered due to the hatred and
r.ácism,
that you yourself are
guilty of portraying to this once great nation.
I am terrified, because you
placed a man who legalized discrimination in his state a
heartbeat from the office you just won. I pray for our LGBT
community who's rights are being endangered because of
who they love. They deserve to love as fiercely as anyone.
Please help them in through this battle they so deserve to
win.
I want you to prove to me that
you are not the man you appear to be. You are the man that is
the leader of all things hate in this country. The
r.ácists,
the bigots, and the bullies.
I fear for my rights as a(n
African American) woman. You have so clearly shown nothing
but blatant disregard and disrespect while promoting
rápe
culture in this Nation. I am an asset to this country, as are
all of our strong willed women.
You are not the type of person
that I would have ever imagined becoming a
president.
Frankly you are a far cry from
the role model I thought I would call a president when
explaining to my children who to look up to. I'm begging
for you to prove me wrong.
I fear what you can do in just
four minutes. I fear for our military families. They never
know what wars they may be thrown into because a world leader
baits you in a tweet.
I fear for our recovering
economy, that was doing well under a great man.
In short, you have some big
shoes to fill Mr. President Elect. I have mounds of fears and
concerns where you are involved in America's
well-being.
I honestly think America made a
mistake by choosing you.
I will pray for you, like every
good American should. I pray you show me that you can be a
man that we as Americans can be proud of. Mostly I pray you
prove me wrong.
Sincerely,
A small town country
girl.
