I'll offer it here word for word without comment, except to say someone should check angry grandpa's letters before he mails it in.
It's time to switch to Republican
I would like to remind all senior voters that under Obama's eight years, we never received a cost of living raise in our Social Security of any amount or that was substantial. Under President Trump in just his second year, we are receiving an increase of some 2.5%! I was a Democrat all my life, but this is not the Democratic Party I grew up with! So for these two reasons we are voting just about a straight Republican ticket! We have to help save the house or we may never see an increase in the next six years plus! Congress will be at a stale mate and get nothing done for the next six years. Wake up America and vote Republican on Tuesday!
