Respect our nation’s foundations

As usual we have two “politico parties” to choose from in the coming election, which continue to fail to serve “we the people!”

What I am seeing tells me that the Democratic Party couldn’t care less about Hillary’s disregard of her oath of office and stance on control of illegal immigration. Would you leave the doors to your house open so anybody could come in and help themselves to everything in your house? Yes, there is a difference between “legal and illegal.”

Real Republicans out there can see that the Republican Party has been filled with “RINOS” (Republicans in Name Only), who along with the Democrat politicos, have disregarded their oaths of office to serve we the people and that’s why Trump – not a part of the establishment in Washington – has gained more confidence from we the people.

Look at our paper and coin money. They all say “In God We Trust.” Shouldn’t that call us all back to respect our nation’s foundations?
