Open letter to Mike Pence and Paul Ryan,Supposedly the two most power men in Washington soon to be under the most powerful man in Washington, Donald J Trump. I am 60 years old, I remember the presidencies of John F Kennedy and Lyndon B Johnson. I also remember Martin Luther King and Robert J Kennedy all great men who wanted to make such great change in our Great Nation. These men were true believers in God. They loved the oppressed and fought hard for the civil rights of all Americans. They understood that people sometimes require a hand up but never a hand out. Great men that history records as some of the most beloved by Americans. These great men reigned before the decision of Roe V Wade. A time when the majority of Americans were Democrat …show more content…
I myself am Irish Catholic my people, although poor, were hard working and loved nothing more in the world then Jesus Christ and America. My father, although disgusted by the ruling, understood that just as many republicans supported the bill as did democrats.

Many of those poor suffered greatly by the jobs lost under the Regan presidency when he claimed a war, not on abortion but, on unions jobs.

This week I watched you and Mike Pence take the beginning stages to kill healthcare for over 20 million Americans. I watched you lies and viewed your smiles as you told the American People Affordable Healthcare is failing and it must be repealed. I knew immediately you were lying and that this was nothing other than a political move that would allow you to make bigger tax cuts for Americas rich, because that is who wants it dead. Shame on you PAUL RYAN, shame on you for selling out the poor Irish and Scotch Irish. Shame on you for using Jesus as a hidden reason to kill healthcare, because I’m a catholic like you, I know Jesus would never harm anyone and use abortion or anything else as a ploy to bring harm on others. You are not a good Catholic Irishmen; you are a hateful greedy human being who cares for nothing other than yourself. Please don’t use your faith as an
