To The Daily Sun,
On Nov. 3, Election Day, before the votes were counted, the New York Times published an essay entitled, “Ken Burns: We Face Our Nation’s Fourth Great Crisis.” The essay spoke of this country’s political history since 2020. Mr. Burn’s essay is easily discoverable on Google.
I read the essay before I voted. The essay is not the reason I voted, but it did inspire me as I voted. Looking back now, just days later, it is obvious that tens of millions of citizens, each for their own reasons, were also inspired to vote and to vote in a particular way.
Thanks to those citizens — Democrats, Republicans and independents — of Laconia and across the nation who, on Election Day, spoke with their votes and did something few believed could be done. God bless our nation and the American people.
