Letter from the Publisher LeRoy Chatfield

Election Day ~ November 8, 2022

My Dear Syndic Audience:

Tuesday’s Midterm election promises to be yet another election to   preserve – or not –  our American Democracy. 

Your vote is critically needed to stop our country’s drift to Fascism and restore our commitment to our Declaration of Independence  July 4, 1776.

“We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain  unalienable Rights, that among them are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of happiness – that to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed.” 

To mark this Midterm Election Day 2022, I am republishing Syndic’s Election Day 2020 ~ with only one change. I have updated the number of Americans who have died from Covid from 230,000 to 1,068,667.

 

Syndic Special Issue

 

~ Election  Day 2022

A 24/7 Living Memorial to remember, to grieve, and to honor, the more than 1,068,667 Americans who have died from Covid-19. May they rest in peace and may we learn the lesson about how to preserve and protect our democracy.
