> Bill Young discusses his full support for President Donald Trump, emphasizing the critical importance of the U.S. Constitution and the sanctity of unborn life.

## Support for President Trump

I have supported President Trump since 2016, and I continue to support him 100%. If he is re-elected, I believe he will go down in history as one of the greatest presidents of the United States, alongside figures like George Washington and Abraham Lincoln. While Reagan dealt with communism, President Trump is facing the challenges of the coronavirus and far-left anarchists who wish to change our Constitution.

## The Sanctity of Life

The science of abortion is a primary issue. A baby is a real human being with its own DNA. I remember when my wife was pregnant with my son; I would read bedtime stories to him. When he was born, he stopped crying the moment he heard my voice. In the early 70s, some claimed abortion was like removing a liver, but today we have DNA, heartbeats, and sonogram images. The science proves it is a human being, and taking that life is murder. It is heartbreaking to see efforts to provide more funding for Planned Parenthood through coronavirus relief bills.

## Defending the Constitution

While abortion is a critical issue, my number one priority is the Constitution of the United States—specifically the First Amendment's guarantee of freedom of speech and religion, and the right to bear arms. I worry that if Joe Biden is elected, the far left will push the country toward the kind of control seen in Cuba, Venezuela, Russia, or Communist China, where secret ballots disappear and the law is ignored. We cannot give an inch to those who want to overthrow the government and eliminate our religious freedoms.

## Reflections on National Security

Drawing from my experience as a financial analyst for the FBI from 1996 to 2010, I saw how critical it is to connect the dots. Leading up to 9/11, I noticed that certain electronic communications and Suspicious Activity Reports (SARs) were not being properly utilized by counterterrorism analysts. I recall a conference in Quantico in May 2001 where it became apparent that the CIA had very few analysts assigned to key threats. We could have caught these individuals if the banks had been encouraged to report smaller, unusual cash transactions—around $2,000—rather than waiting for larger thresholds. I hope to one day write a book about this process of connecting the dots.

## A Call for Faith and Vigilance

I believe many people are afraid to speak their truth in polls for fear of retaliation, but I trust that the secret ballot will reveal the truth. We must continue to pray the Rosary and stand firm. I am willing to sacrifice everything for our country and for our Lord and God, because I fear that without vigilance, our churches will be taken away. We must support the Republican Party and the leadership of the President and Vice President to ensure our children grow up in a free land.

*The preservation of the U.S. Constitution and the protection of the unborn are the most critical battles for the future of the country.*
