Our Opinion – Voters Face Clear Choices this Election

U.S. President: Kamala Harris

The 2024 race for president of the United States has been one of “firsts” highlighted by the surprise passing of the torch by President Joe Biden to a younger generation of leadership embodied by his Vice President Kamala Harris and her running mate Tim Walz. On the other hand, former president and twice impeached Donald Trump is seeking to return to the office he did everything he could, legally and illegally, to keep despite losing the 2020 election.

In our view, Kamala Harris represents a fresh start to tackling America’s problems, from the economy which is still holding back many Americans, to offering freedom of opportunity and protections of the law that have been stripped away by the radical conservatives appointed by Trump to the U.S. Supreme Court.

ADVERTISEMENT

Harris has put forth plans to hold down consumer prices by going after corporations that take advantage of consumers by price gouging. She will offer $25,000 downpayment assistance to first time homebuyers – a plan modeled after the one successfully implemented by the City of Detroit. She will offer a $6,000 tax credit to families with children to help defray expenses in their first year, and she will boost the tax deduction for start up businesses from $5,000 to a more realistic and helpful $50,000.

These are real proposals put forth by the Harris-Walz campaign that will make a real difference in the lives of all Americans.

Donald Trump, for his part, offers no real solutions but would rather denigrate Americans who do not support him. He has gone as far as to kill the bipartisan legislation that would have had a measurable impact on addressing the crisis at the southern border. Trump paints immigrants with one broad brush as being rapists, thieves and murderers – something we in our community know is untrue and slanderous. And, lest we overlook the latest insults, he came to Detroit to trash our reputation in our own community! And, just this week, a speaker at Trump’s rally in Madison Square Garden in New York City referred to Puerto Rico as “an island of floating garbage.” Neither Trump nor any speaker who came after denounced that statement. Enough is enough.

Trump’s supporters forget or choose to overlook the way he completely mishandled the pandemic saying that “it will go away on its own” and suggesting that we should inject bleach into our veins to kill the virus. His response to the pandemic was inept from the beginning and it tanked our economy and resulted in more than a million American deaths.

Trump takes his lead from his allies on the far right who have mapped out their plan for a second Trump administration in a 920 page document called Project 2025. The plan calls for “mass deportation” of immigrants which will result in inhumane family separations once again and elimination of the Department of Education and the Environmental Protection Agency. Trump could not care less about protecting women’s reproductive rights, voting rights or our environment. EL CENTRAL has covered the threats represented by Project 2025 through an analysis of the League of United Latin American Citizens (LULAC) and we encourage our readers to learn more about it at https://lulac.org/project_2025/.

 The choice is clear: A vote for Kamala Harris is a vote for a renewed America, one where all people have an equal opportunity to buy a home, feed their families, afford quality health care and a good education, and all the things they need to get ahead. We at EL CENTRAL agree, we won’t go back!

U.S. Senate: Elissa Slotkin

Three-term U.S. Representative Elissa Slotkin has earned a reputation as a fair-minded, Democrat who advocates fiercely for her constituents in Michigan’s 8th Congressional District. As a CIA and Pentagon official, she has the experience to weigh in on national security and foreign policy issues. She has fought the pharmaceutical industry to control medication costs like $35 insulin and $2,000 annual spending caps for seniors and will fight to make those reforms universal. We have no confidence that her rival for the Senate seat, Mike Rogers, would side with consumers over big pharma.

We urge a vote for Elissa Slotkin to keep a consumer advocate and foreign policy expert in the Senate representing Michigan.

Michigan Supreme Court: Kyra Harris Bolden and Kimberly Ann Thomas

Two positions on the Michigan Supreme Court are on the Non-Partisan portion of the ballot in Michigan. The candidates are nominated by their political parties, but that affiliation is not noted beneath their names. We encourage Michigan voters to educate themselves on the backgrounds of the candidates and choose the individuals who they feel will represent their values and priorities.

We believe that the cases to be decided by the Michigan Supreme Court in the near future will require justices to have demonstrated a strong commitment to protecting reproductive rights of women and voting rights for all.

EL CENTRAL supports Justice Kyra Harris Bolden and Kimberly Ann Thomas for Michigan Supreme Court.   

Opinión: los votantes tienen las opciones claras para las próximas elecciones

Presidenta de los Estados Unidos: Kamala Harris

La candidatura a la presidencia 2024 de los Estados Unidos, ha sido una de las “primeras” que se ha destacado por el sorpresivo traspaso de la antorcha del presidente Joe Biden a una generación más joven de líderes, encarnada por su vicepresidenta Kamala Harris y su compañero de fórmula Tim Walz. Por otro lado, el expresidente y dos veces destituido Donald Trump busca regresar al cargo por el que ha hecho todo lo posible, legal e ilegalmente, y en el que ha buscado quedarse, a pesar de haber perdido las elecciones de 2020.

En nuestra opinión, Kamala Harris representa un nuevo comienzo para abordar las problemáticas de Estados Unidos, desde la economía que todavía frena a muchos estadounidenses, hasta mayor libertad de oportunidades y protecciones de la ley, que han sido eliminadas por los conservadores radicales nombrados por Trump para la Corte Suprema de los Estados Unidos.

Harris ha presentado planes para mantener bajos los precios al consumidor, persiguiendo a las corporaciones que se aprovechen de los consumidores mediante la especulación con los precios. Ofrecerá una ayuda de 25.000 dólares para el pago inicial a quienes compren su primera vivienda, un plan que sigue el modelo del que se aplicó con éxito en la ciudad de Detroit. Ofrecerá un crédito fiscal de 6.000 dólares a las familias con niños para ayudar a sufragar los gastos en su primer año, y aumentará la deducción fiscal para las empresas emergentes de 5.000 dólares a una cifra más realista y útil de 50.000 dólares.

Se trata de propuestas reales presentadas por la campaña de Harris-Walz, que marcarán una diferencia real en la vida de todos los estadounidenses.

Donald Trump, por su parte, no ofrece soluciones reales, sino que prefiere denigrar a los estadounidenses que no lo apoyan. Ha llegado al extremo de acabar con la legislación bipartidista que habría tenido un impacto mensurable en la solución de la crisis en la frontera sur. Trump pinta a todos los inmigrantes como violadores, ladrones y asesinos, algo que nosotros en nuestra comunidad sabemos que es falso y una calumnia. Y, para que no pasemos por alto los últimos insultos, ¡vino a Detroit a destruir nuestra reputación en nuestra propia comunidad! Y, justo esta semana, un conferencista en el mitin de Trump, en el Madison Square Garden de la ciudad de Nueva York se refirió a Puerto Rico como “una isla de basura flotante” y ni Trump ni ningún orador de los que continuaron, denunció esa declaración. Ya es suficiente.

Los partidarios de Trump olvidan o eligen pasar por alto la forma en que manejó completamente mal la pandemia diciendo que “desaparecería por sí sola” y sugiriendo que deberíamos inyectarnos cloro en las venas para matar el virus. Su respuesta a la pandemia fue inepta desde el principio y hundió nuestra economía y resultó en más de un millón de muertes estadounidenses.

Trump sigue el ejemplo de sus aliados de la extrema derecha, que han trazado su plan para una segunda administración Trump en un documento de 920 páginas llamado Proyecto 2025. El plan exige la “deportación masiva” de inmigrantes que resultará en separaciones familiares inhumanas una vez más y la eliminación del Departamento de Educación y la Agencia de Protección Ambiental, pues no le importa en lo más mínimo proteger los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres, los derechos al voto o nuestro medio ambiente. EL CENTRAL ha cubierto las amenazas que representa el Proyecto 2025 a través de un análisis de la Liga de Ciudadanos Latinoamericanos Unidos (LULAC) y alentamos a nuestros lectores a conocer más sobre el tema en https://lulac.org/project_2025/.

La elección es clara: un voto por Kamala Harris es un voto por un renovado Estados Unidos, uno donde todas las personas tengan la misma oportunidad de comprar casa, alimentar a su familia, pagar atención médica de calidad y una buena educación, y todo lo que necesitan para salir adelante. En EL CENTRAL estamos de acuerdo, ¡no vamos a dar marcha atrás!

Senado de EE. UU.: Elissa Slotkin

La representante de EE. UU. durante tres períodos, Elissa Slotkin, se ha ganado la reputación de ser una demócrata imparcial, que aboga ferozmente por sus electores en el octavo distrito del Congreso de Michigan. Como funcionaria de la CIA y del Pentágono, tiene la experiencia para opinar sobre cuestiones de seguridad nacional y política exterior. Ella ha luchado contra la industria farmacéutica para controlar el costo de los medicamentos, como la insulina de 35 dólares y los topes de gasto anual de 2.000 dólares para los adultos mayores, y luchará para que esas reformas sean universales. No tenemos confianza en que su rival por el puesto en el Senado, Mike Rogers, se ponga del lado de los consumidores en lugar de las grandes farmacéuticas.

Instamos a votar por Elissa Slotkin para mantener a una defensora del consumidor y experta en política exterior en el Senado representando a Michigan.

Corte Suprema de Michigan: Kyra Harris Bolden y Kimberly Ann Thomas

Dos puestos en la Corte Suprema de Michigan están en la parte no partidista de la boleta electoral en Michigan. Los candidatos son nominados por sus partidos políticos, pero esa afiliación no se indica debajo de sus nombres. Alentamos a los votantes de Michigan a que se informen sobre los antecedentes de los candidatos y elijan a las personas que consideren que representarán sus valores y prioridades.

Creemos que los casos que decidirá la Corte Suprema de Michigan en el futuro cercano requerirán que los jueces hayan demostrado un fuerte compromiso con la justicia para proteger los derechos reproductivos de las mujeres y el derecho al voto de todos.

EL CENTRAL apoya a la jueza Kyra Harris Bolden y a Kimberly Ann Thomas, para la Corte Suprema de Michigan.
