As a citizen committed to the moral, spiritual, and constitutional values that sustain a free and just nation, I hereby publicly declare the reasons why I support and voted for Donald J. Trump for President of the United States of America.
My decision is not based on idolizing a man, but rather on a firm commitment to principles that I consider essential for the preservation of Western civilization.
1. Defense of Biological Truth and Natural Identity
I believe that God created human beings as male and female — and this biological reality is immutable. I firmly reject the ideologies that seek to confuse children, deconstruct human sexuality, and impose unnatural concepts in schools and throughout culture.
2. Opposition to the Woke Agenda and Ideological Censorship
I reject cancel culture, the imposition of ideological narratives, and the criminalization of conservative opinions. Freedom of speech is a non-negotiable right and must be preserved, even when such speech challenges political correctness.
3. Defense of Life and Opposition to Abortion
I am absolutely opposed to abortion, especially its unrestricted legalization and public funding. Life begins at conception — and every child, without exception, has the right to be born.
4. Valuing the Family, Rejection of Gay Marriage, and Anti-Biblical Principles
According to God’s principles, the family is composed of a man, a woman, and their children. I vehemently reject any attempt to redefine marriage based on ideological standards. So-called “gay marriage” is not recognized in the Scriptures as a legitimate union, and its legalization constitutes a direct affront to the divine principles that govern life and morality.
I support public policies that uphold natural marriage, promote responsible fatherhood, and strengthen the moral and spiritual education of future generations.
5. Individual Liberties and Religious Freedom
I firmly defend every citizen’s right to freely practice their faith without interference or repression from the State. I reject attempts to restrict worship, preaching, or Christian values under the guise of “tolerance” or “inclusion” — which in practice aim to silence those who believe in biblical truth.
6. Legal Immigration, Justice, and Dignity
I recognize that every sovereign nation has the duty to protect its borders. I support the fight against illegal immigration, especially in confronting criminals and abusers of the system. However, I do not support the persecution of honest workers who live in the country without legal immigration status.
Furthermore, it is urgent to regulate legal immigration by creating fair and accessible pathways for those who wish to live lawfully in the United States. Currently, there is no viable provision that allows for legal entry, even while the country selectively and contradictorily admits thousands.
These undocumented men and women support families, work with dignity, and actively contribute to American society. The general population — and many authorities — already recognize this reality, approaching those who live honestly and peacefully with more prudence and compassion.
Yes, authorities must identify and deport criminals who pose a threat to public order. But it is also the responsibility of Congress to exercise its sovereignty and pass legislation to legalize those who live with integrity, obey the law, and contribute to the common good.
7. Rejection of Immorality and the Perversion Promoted by the Left
It is deeply alarming to see the explicit support by many Democratic leaders for the sexualization of children, the normalization of pedophilia, the destruction of masculinity, the degradation of women, and the mockery of the Christian faith. These are perverse practices that must be exposed and denounced with courage and responsibility.
CONCLUSION
My vote is an act of conscience and fidelity to the values that govern my faith and citizenship. I do not seek perfection in any leader, but I take a clear stand with those who, despite their human limitations, demonstrate a real willingness to defend liberty, truth, faith, and life.
Therefore, I declare that I will continue to fight for a just, free nation founded upon the eternal principles of God.
