10/13/2020 - Party Platforms reflect the heart and motivation of the candidates

It can be very difficult to get information "straight from the horse's mouth" these days.  However, it is very important that we read and understand what the candidates and the parties they represent actually stand for - in their own words. 

This email will give you some helpful links to source information (not pre-digested media information) so that you can make informed decisions before the November election.  Please take time to be informed and to share with others.
