As a mother and grandmother, I do not normally get too involved with politics. However, lately, I’ve become very concerned about the future of the United States of America. What kind of country will we be handing down to our children and their children’s children?
I was born after World War II and lived through an age of great prosperity. That is, until recently! I cringe at the thought that my heirs will not have the same comfort and security I have had during my lifetime. Although it may not seem fair to blame this administration for our economic woes, it seems to me that the downturn has intensified under the current regime. Prior to that, my retirement funds were earning interest; now they are losing money. And, my dollar is worth less than ever thanks to this administration and their eagerness to print more money. If this is what I’m experiencing, what will be in store for my grandchildren?
I believe it’s not too late to turn things around if we change the way our government is run. I believe that it’s extremely important that we elect a president and representatives who are fiscally responsible and who have shown themselves to be sound financial administrators. It is our responsibility to investigate thoroughly the background of those running for office and to be certain that we elect the right people, whether Republican or Democrat, male or female, an incumbent or a wannabe. And this
election is one of the most important ones in our lifetimes so we must vote and we must vote for those who represent our values and are concerned about our future. And most important of all, every one of us must vote!!!
