‘Cancerous machine’ must be stopped

Many of our politicians who live the lives of crave and compromise, are snatching every shabby opportunity to feather their own nests.

Quick to call for safety and security, it is not those in Washington, D.C., but the common man who secures that security. From battlefield soldier to the police officer who secures our safety for country and our towns and neighborhoods we depend on them.

Yet we have a president and his candidate who demean those who keep this peace and freedom, by promoting agitation and stirring violence. It is time for Americans to come to their senses and stand together against political corruption.

End this administration, which has taken our freedoms in the name of security while inviting those into our country unchecked, who wish to undo our ways and endanger every citizen with violence.

This is a president who, by every means possible, has divided the people. Only a few now in D.C. will ever retire with their honor untarnished from graft or corruption. This cancerous machine, which has perpetrated lie after lie to maintain power, must be stopped.

In November, we must remember it is “we the people” and no one else.
