How Do I Change My Vote?

29^th November 2024

 

Dear Madam Vice President,

 

In the wake of you loss in becoming the president proper many an American is feeling the pain. It was reported that Google searches for “How do I change my vote” surged on Election Day implying that many Americans voted against you in protest but really wanted you to win.

 

I can tell you that even a man who voted for Trump in his first election came to me and asked “what happened” stating that he had been on your side. I wish you could be our president but the world spoke and the law listened. We can only brace for what is to come hoping we can survive.

 

As the party, and the country as a whole, staggers bag and prepares for the time to come what happened is still the question on everyone’s lips by my own. After all, I know what happened. America didn’t feel that the current party could see to their economic needs and the world, not just America, shifted its leadership.

 

The pain at the bank and the pain at the grocery store out shine the moral compos of the world. The sad truth here is that the Democrats are for the people but they all too often fail to understand the people. Changing that is what should happen in the next four years.

 

Find a way to save the struggling people of this nation, because in four years you can try again and more of us will be struggling. We need good leaders now more than ever before. We need people like you.

 

Best,

Coal in 2016

4th September 2024

Dear Madam Vice President,

A point that should be made in regards to the 2016 election is that Trump told the mining community that they will have jobs and Clinton told the world that coal mining companies needed to close. It gave a large part of the voting public the idea that Trump meant jobs and Clinton meant unemployment.

Trump lied but Clinton’s point was just as wrong. Companies need to evolve to live in the future not die. A company that made typewriters can make other things. Royal was a big typewriter company back in the day, and it was founded in 1904 but it still makes things today even as it was founded to make typewriters.

The point is that we need a plan for Coal Country America. We need a plan for hope in the small towns who view Donald Trump as the man who will save their way of life. The economic engine of the coal mine is at its end and we need to find a new engine to fuel small town America.

Much as the coal furnaces that once powered our turbines have given way to solar panels so must the mines give way to a new form of power. What that may be I couldn’t say. I would encourage a green future, but I don’t know what would work in this situation.

What I do know is that innovation often brings humanity into the cities and away from the small towns which breeds poverty and homelessness. The loss of the steam engine in trains left many a small rail stop as a ghost town.

The important thing is that small town America needs to know that you’re on their side. The people need to know that you are here to make the transition away from coal as painless and beneficial as possible.

God Bless America,


Richard Leland Neal
