Letter: Re: the June 1. article “Local opinion: Stand up for a safer future, my wife, Laura Conover has”

Aubrey Conover makes good points about people needed to stand up for our country. (‘Local opinion: stand up for a safer future, my wife, Laura Conover has’ by Aubrey Conover, Arizona Daily Star, June 1, 2024) In addition to running for office, we can question candidates and follow up when they are elected. Using our voices to make sure they know what matters, like the bipartisan Tax Relief for American Families and Workers Act that would help millions of families currently struggling in poverty. Or what about asking President Biden for a bold pledge to Gave, the Vaccine Alliance, that has provided vaccine for a billion children so far, saving millions of lives. Perhaps the best way is to call on your Senators (202-224-3121) to pass this bill and call on the president for bold Gavi support. It will take all of us to empower our government to take the road to a better country and a better world, please do your part.
