Open letter to JD Vance

J.D. Vance,

I saw your press conference accusing corporations of supporting abortion to keep their cheap labor and America for not supporting families. Implied here is the assumption that women are cheap labor.

J.D., Here are some fixes for you:

1) pay equity

2) increase minimum wage

3) affordable childcare

4) prenatal care

5) nutrition programs for infants and children (Gov Walz offers free school lunches)

6) pre K and after school programs

7) Universal healthcare to keep whole family healthy

8) tax cuts for poor and middle class balanced by tax hikes for billionaires

9) support Unions and workers right to negotiate conditions. They might get a company day care facility.

10) parental leave

11) Support the certifying of the ERA. Help raise women rather than denegrating them. They are half the family in your limited defination of family.

You probably want to write these ideas off right away because they are supported by the Democratic Party and generally opposed by Republicans. Be a rebel and give America’s families more than lip service and dictates on how they should form families.

Sincerely,

Lori C. Gardner, Groton
