This is a piggyback off my last post about the Golden Rule in prison. Lately, I’ve gotten a lot of hateful comments on my stories. I don’t write about what the president has done that I like — I could, but that’d just be writing to half the country. I write about the things that matter to me: criminal justice reform, addiction and recovery, and mental health awareness — all from personal experience. The hate usually starts when someone flings wild, unproven accusations at the president. I try to moderate my comments. I push back on things that aren’t or can’t be proven. I’m not for shutting people up — that’s wrong. But when I do that, the same people turn on me. The truth is, the left is pushing away people like me — people who might have listened, people who just want real solutions for the issues that matter most. So before you hit send, think about what you’re doing. Are you writing for others in your echo chamber, or are you trying to reach everyone? Andrew Goltz writes straight from experience — 22 years in the federal system taught him a lot about justice, redemption, and what real change takes. Now free, he’s using his voice to bridge the divide between politics and people. --- Hashtags #RealTalk #FreeSpeech #SecondChances #PrisonReform #AddictionRecovery #MentalHealthAwareness #JusticeSystem #TruthTeller #NewsBreakCommunity #ThinkBeforeYouPost
