Michelle Obama’s speech at the Democratic National Convention suggested that if you have a strong concern about something, then “DO SOMETHING.”

As a retired teacher, I will propose this situation: If you were responsible for hiring a teacher or a group leader — 4-H, scouts, Sunday school, etc. — and the application included:

— Convicted felon for fraud;

— Found liable for sexual abuse;

— Disrespects people by name-calling;

— Known for lies and cheating.

Would you hire a person with a resume that reflect these values and behavior? Will your children say, “If the leader can do it, why can’t I?” Or do you just overlook the kind of behavior?

If you would not hire this person to teach/lead children, why would you elect him to lead our nation?

P.S. I’ll paraphrase Edmund Burke — “All that is necessary for evil to triumph is that good people do nothing.” Please vote.
