President Donald Trump said, "I make great deals for our country"(*) when he was asked about his reaction to his impeachment trial. Perhaps our president is not aware that many voters came here from other countries to escape tyrants who ruled without law. Many people came to America for the opportunity to gain education, freedom of religion, and an economic class-less environment. They came here and found that environment, not because of one individual or political party, but because people trusted each other and valued truth, honesty and respect for law and a free press.
This country has committed wrongs and injustices in the past. Changes were made rapidly, and sometimes we lacked the fortitude, wisdom and patience necessary to move on to new responsibilities as citizens. Today our legal recourse is in the power of the voters in local, state and congressional representation as well as national elections. As citizens, we need to take on the responsibility of learning why the outcome of the impeachment process of Donald Trump could imperil all we hold dear, here and around the world.
See you at the polls!
