Dear Editor:
We were pleased to see the paid advertisement of Ukrainian Americans for Biden (UAB) published in the July 26 issue of The Ukrainian Weekly and would like to express our gratitude to the UAB Steering Committee for the great work they are doing to elect Joe Biden as president.
We once were staunch Republicans. That was when Republicans were American patriots and anti-Communists. Sadly, today we see Republicans only as enablers of the worst policies for America and its people. In a few short years, America has lost its prestige and worldwide respect, and Vladimir Putin could not be happier.
For children of a people who lived through the horrors of Communism and Nazism, let us not be swayed by false utterances about “law and order,” “fake news” and other disinformation disseminated by demagogues. The freedom we have been enjoying in this country is not a given, and we all need to do all in our power to preserve it.
Today, we see only one choice to save America: the election of Joe Biden. Most of us have known Mr. Biden for his long years of service for our country. He will do what is good for our county and for all of its people. Not only is he honest, but most importantly, he is a man of intelligence and experience in governing as well as a good friend to Ukraine. He is our only hope for helping America live up, once again, to the principles of our Founding Fathers.
Wictoria and Marianna Wakulowska
