Editor,

When I was in my 20s, I worked for social justice and followed my heart when voting for candidates who most represented my values. Hence, I voted for candidates of the Democratic Party.

In my 40s, at the height of my business career, I used my brain and voted for the candidates whose policies were best for the economic health of the nation. I found I voted for candidates of the Democratic Party.

In my 60s, as I reflect on my political and business life; I am reminded of why I have voted the way I have all these years. So I will continue to vote for candidates of the Democratic party. I have found this to be true at every level of government.

So, I guess one could describe those who don’t support Democrats in the following ways:

n If in your 20s, you do not vote for candidates of the Democratic party, you have no heart.

n If, in your 40s, you do not vote for candidates of the Democratic party, you have no brain.

n If, in your 60s, you do not vote for candidates of the Democratic party, you have no memory.
