My family fled the Bolsheviks/Communism in 1917. My Maternal Grandfather was MURDERED by them for being a priest in Soviet occupied E. Germany! My Mom was only 4... (1)

My Grandmother & her 3 children & her mother went to the Holy Land afterwards because the Soviets threatened to arrest her for looking for what happened to her husband & father of her children!( 2)

They lived there & my Grandmother worked for the US Gov’t tracing service because she spoke 7 languages! They waited there 5 years for their US Visas...

They came to the USA for FREEDOM!! And they got it! My Mom got a job on her 2nd day here!! She was 18 & worked until she was 65! In between she married my Dad, who@ she met at church (also a war refugee) & they gave us a really great upbringing! (4)

I’m a Russian girl. It’s my ethnicity! It’s my church & my soul. The USA gave my family & friends the freedom to worship freely!!! It gave us the FREEDOM to live a good life! They became GRATEFUL AMERICANS & passed that on to me & my siblings! (5)

So with that being said, I will DIE before EVER accepting, voting for, or allowing my beautiful country to become a Socialist or Communist country. And I know I’m not the only one... (6). God Bless America!!! #Trump2020
