When it comes time to vote again, I am going to do a lot more thinking than I have ever done before about anything I can think of about a candidate.
When I heard about the problems with the death benefit program for veterans’ survivors, it was like a nightmare — that U.S. officials could even think of doing such a thing to the nation’s sons and daughters who die for this country. It is not only insulting to those sons and daughters, but also to their families.
“We, the people, in order to form a more perfect union, etc., …” — did some people forget that? The rights granted by this country should be treasured and followed.
We elect people who we feel will represent us and do what is best for us and the country. But I am ashamed of the top elected officials, as well as the legislators and senators who are not, I believe, standing for the good of all. Perhaps some of them are. But do they really think about the good of all the people?
They need to get back to basics and do what is best for everyone. I have heard of the bargaining going on between Congress and the White House. There should be no bargaining; what is right is right.
Don’t people know that?
