Kristine sent a message to Sheldon Adelson Chairman and CEO, Las Vegas Sands Corp. – email address that said:
Mr. Adelson,
Please forgive this unorthodox method of contacting you on your business email, but I was unable to locate any other email address for you.
I am Mom, wife and small business owner with grave concerns over the direction our country is moving. I recently read that you are not supporting the RNC in the race for President.
I believe I understand some of your concerns: Mr. Trump is not a "polished" individual and tends, as I do, to speak quite bluntly. However, as someone who has experienced the inequities/failure of our healthcare system, (raising two children with chronic and terminal comorbidities with expenses in excess of 70-80 thousand dollars a month); the small- business owner concerns (when politicians support big pharma and we independents continue to loose business); when I fear travel to Germany to say my good-byes to a beloved relative as she lay dying as I do not feel safe; when the elderly and poor/middle class come in and cannot afford their $1 or $2 co-pays, or don't have Part D coverage and I supply their meds for free thereby jeopardizing my business and maintaining employment of my staff; I find I must determine who, knowing all come with baggage, will best protect my family, my country. When I look around the world and see our allies needs ignored by a President and a party that quite frankly doesn't give a damn, it makes my fear to travel to Germany pale in comparison.
To this end I ask that you consider maintaining your support of the RNC. That you show Mr. Trump and the rest of the world that the games played by the opposing party must and will stop. You have power, the power of a voice that folks will listen to. Use that power not to turn our country over to the democratic party leaders, but to assist in guiding Mr. Trump and Mr. Pence and their advisors to making our country, our world, a safer, more competitive and prosperous place in which I may say I am proud of.
Thank you for taking the time to read this. Won't you please help me, in ensuring that we start the march toward a better world united.
Kris
