Care for America and its people first
“We cannot continue to deny the demands of our own people while we spend hundreds of billions in the name of freedom or in the name of security elsewhere around the globe,” said Robert F. Kennedy.
No nation can exert its power in the world when its own people cry for justice. We are so tired of working for such little income. We are so tired of endless military adventures. We are so tired of losing our young men and our national treasure for nothing.
Yet, if the Republicans have their way, we are poised to do battle once again in some far off land in the name of security and revenge.
Their crazy notions were applauded in the last Republican debate. I want to emphasize that candidates were applauded – not booed. It’s pure insanity.
I’m not a Muslim. I’m not a drug dealer from Mexico. I am just an American who wants a normal life.
If ever there was a time to vote for Hillary Clinton. This is the time. I’m tired of the insanity.
