James Veverka: Vote Karishma Mansur for US Senate on Tuesday, Sept. 8

To The Daily Sun,

The U.S. support for crimes against humanity committed in Gaza changed me.

I saw our history going back 75 years in a stark new reality. Most of our "wins" since World War II were not what I thought they were. Bullying, we are hellbent on destabilization and domination, not coexistence. I left the Democratic Party due to Joe Biden's crimes against humanity and have vowed never to vote for anyone complicit in Israeli atrocities. If they voted to send weapons, or denied the illegality and inhumanity of the occupations and blockades, or denied the crimes committed by the Zionist state, they're complicit. Chris Pappas is one of those warmongering Zionist Democrats I will never vote for. The Democratic Party needs to be purged of all Zionists and neoconservatives, or they will lose as Kamala Harris did. Thankfully, Pappas has a truly progressive opponent. She is Karishma Manzur, a true antiwar, environment friendly, universal healthcare supporting progressive. She is not a GOP-Lite Democrat like most of NH's elected Democrats in D.C.

A highly educated scientist with PhDs in molecular biology and biochemistry, Karishma doesn't accept corporate donations, including the Israeli lobbies like AIPAC. Pappas has taken $989,510 in campaign donations from Israeli lobbies and megadonors. Citizens United destroyed our representative democracy as it was laid out in the Constitution. Who owns our politicians? Who determines the winners? Pro-Israel lobbies. Oil and gas lobbies. Weapons manufacturers. Bigp pharma. Big agro. Pro-gun lobbies. Hospitals, insurance providers, nursing homes, HMOs, Realtors, tech companies, security and investments, the U.S. Chamber of Commerce, utilities, etc. They all pay our representatives to shape laws for their profits. Let's cleanse the Democratic party of its inhumanity. It lacks moral clarity, just as the GOP does. It's GOP-Lite. It's bought and paid for. Vote Karishma Manzur on Sept. 8.
