Alice and Dale Pollard: Don’t let party loyalty blind you to this budding autocrat

We cannot allow the sacred democratic foundation of the United States of America to be destroyed by one man who thumbs his nose at our country’s system of checks and balances and who attacks individuals and institutions who attempt to stand in his way of becoming an autocrat. Regardless if you are a Republican or Democrat, liberal or conservative, it is imperative that honor and loyalty to our country and our Constitution come before party.

We the undersigned are a Democrat and a Republican who love our country above all else.

Alice and Dale Pollard, Turlock
