I can’t be so cynical as to suggest voters who practically worship trump should follow his advice & crowd their churches on Easter - a holiday trump says is very important to him (I doubt he knows its significance) 3/12

Ppl shouldn’t gather & stand close - increases risk of spread of COVID-19. Evangelicals are some of trump’s (few) stalwart supporters and, one may reasonably infer, are most likely to crowd those churches. 4/12

Given demographics both of trump’s “base” & evangelicals - older and white - it is far more likely those who would vote for trump will become sick and die if they follow his advice. I have to say - follow science, not trump. 5/12

Congress is to act as a check on, not a rubber stamp for, actions of POTUS. None of my opponents in June 2 GOP primary for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District (INCD5) has indicated she or he would be anything more than a rubber stamp 4 trump. 6/12

Far past time that American people say “enough”: we can’t surrender ½ of our 2-party system to ignorance, bigotry and hatred. And trump is a font from which ignorance, bigotry and hatred flows. 7/12

We face thousands of deaths > because of trump denied and delayed response to COVID-19, afraid his polling numbers would drop and impair his hold on the Oval Office. To vote for any of my opponents simply enables trump. 8/12

If you live in INCD5: 1) make sure you’re registered to vote! 2) either vote early or on June 2; 3) If you agree with me, please request a GOP ballot and vote for me; 4) If you disagree with me - vote for one of my opponents. 9/12

By June 2 it is quite probable that the only contested race for an office in Indiana’s primary will be for the GOP nomination for INCD5 in the U.S. House. If you agree with the ineptitude and prejudice of all that is trump: I DO NOT WANT YOUR VOTE. 10/12

If asked significance of Easter trump probably would say: celebrates when Jesus rose fr dead, rolled away stone from his tomb, walked outside, saw his shadow and went back inside for 6 more weeks. 11/12
