Put them out ... put them all out.
This is going to be an interesting post-presidential election. Two years have dragged by and our nation's woes have increased partially to to the lack of a presiding president and a senate that has projected senility.
Fractious bickering, fearful party players and a willingness to do nothing that would hint of resolve, we are a nation that has pushed its citizens down into a cave of debt and have nearly sealed it shut.
I am the first generation of my family not to to make a living death out of going into the coal mines as a way of life.
I did listen to many miners' hacks and coughs from rock and coal dust and have performed more than my share of funerals for miners and their family members.
The rattle I sense now is the echoing sigh among people whose lives have been rocked by the lack of courage by our so-called national leaders.
I am very non-political. So very little is ever accomplished by any committee and the lack of commitment to the national good in Washington may finally choke our country all for the worse.
What the House and Senate has proven is that a charismatic leader (Remember The Obama Inauguration? Good. There might not be another.) can quickly become an empty suit.
I have yet to see many dem-O-crats invite the sitting president to speak on their behalf in their home states.
There is no room for rePUBlicans to gloat. Many years of do nothing or doing badly have helped dig the current fiscal mess.
People are sad, people are worried and many people are energized to higher levels of self-help.
We remain AmeriCANs! We are not defeatest and things will be made better.
A Washington, Lincoln or an Eisenhower may be hiding at some college or university.
They may be too smart to volunteer for public service, but maybe heart will win out.
In the meantime ... it is time to change all the stationery in every elected office up for election in DC. The colors, paper and envelopes are fine. All the names need to be changed to help protect the people of this great land.
