When things go bad to worst!!

I always was proud to be an American, I believed in my country! I believed in democracy!! I remember when I was 4 years old; watching TV and watch my mother cry at the funeral procession of John F Kennedy. I guess that is when I became a democrat.

Right now, our country is in such turmoil, people are hating each other. I have a friend, who I met on Facebook, after my dog, Sassy passed away. She came to me in my time of need. Now we are on opposite sides, she voted for Trump! No matter what I publish, she has something to say that is the opposite of what I publish! I still don’t want to lose her, because I know she still has a kind heart.

I believe in the truth, good or bad!! To watch Trump tear our country apart; hurts my soul!! I have a daughter, who is a major in the army; who I am terrified will be killed because of Trump!! She has been in the army for 13 years, and I pray soon that she will retired before he sends them to a war, for oil!!

Our country is being run to the ground, by greedy politicians, who want to take our resources away! They want to pollute our rivers and wetlands; they want to rip apart our parks with fracking and gas lines. They want to pollute the air we breathe!! They want to take away the Judges, who will hold them accountable for any illegal plan! In fact they have passed a bill, to protect them from be prosecuted!

As for the democrats, I am appalled by their lack of actions, or collusion with these republican criminals! I have seen so many things that they have done! I look on both sides for truth!! I see people pointing finger at each other, blaming all for the problems, that they made! I don’t sleep anymore, mostly because I worry!

I spend a lot of time, looking at myself!! Who am I! What can I do to help!! I am not a protester, especially the ones who do damage to their cause by destroying property, blocking roadways, and ambulances! I seek the truth, but what do I see? I know I am not a racist! Yet, I worry about the Islam people coming to destroy American!! I do not believe in that wall! I don’t believe the immigrants are taking our jobs!

I care totally about our environment, because if you pollute our waterways, we damage the crops, we kill our animals, our people with the contaminated water! You may notice that I put the animal before the people; because the animals are not responsible for our environment!! I care that they are taking species off the endanger list!

We the people are destroying our world!! We the people our sprouting hatred among us!! We the people must resist, against our government, if they do not uphold the Constitution! We the people must protect our environment for our children, and their children!! And we the people have to hold people accountable for their actions!! Because this is our world and we must survive!
