America is a beautiful country, full of hopes and dreams; built on honest work, courage, faith and a strong desire to cooperate with one another. I believe that is how it really came about.

The November election is very important and all I am seeing and hearing is politicians, in general, doing all they can to degrade one another in order to win … at any cost. Are those the kind of people we need governing this country?

To me, that is pure fear and ignorance.

Imagine how it would be like if all parties campaigning would do all they could to improve the methods of governing and simply present those ideas to the public, without controversy. How refreshing that would be to the voting public.

I know that I am not the only one who feels that way but others need to speak up. We still have that right. Remember, “united we stand; divided we fall.”

I pray that people will once again remember that a spirit of faith, trust, courage and cooperation are what is really needed in representatives today, to recreate a better America for all people.
