Letter: Will the Bell of Liberty Still Ring?
 |
To the Editor:
In recent times we have seen an all out effort to diminish freedom in America. We have seen the democratic process erode into a dictatorial presidency in which honor, humanity and dignity are forgotten words.
America is under attack abroad and at home. We have a president, Senate president and United States attorney general, along with others, that have and will continue to erode the safety and well being of this nation and planet.
Unfortunately, there is a United States Senate comprised mostly of Republican lambs whose primary goal is to get re-elected at all cost, and have essentially turned their cowardly backs away from their sworn pledge to represent all the people of this great country. Money, power, lobbyists, along with special interest continue to drive these politicians in Washington. Courage and honor are empty words in Congress these days.
The question now is simple, what are you and I going to do to change the destructive direction that the drivers of this nation are on?
Today, the bell of freedom still rings but appears to be losing it's strength. We can ill afford to sit back and do nothing.
Let us use our feet, words and the ballot box to rescue America! If we don't, then who will?
Best wishes to all, and please share these and your thoughts with friends, neighbors, and others who will head the call to rescue our nation.
