I very much hope that one day soon we can return to the values and civility you represent. I was active politically just prior to and during your administration, and have fond memories of the integrity and civility of that era. In recent years I have tried to encourage my grown children to become active and bring back that integrity and civility. Unfortunately the local GOP has apparently lost it's way and I am finding it difficult to convince my kids that it is worth their time to work to change that. Please keep up your comments and help me to encourage them to understand how important it is.

I DO NOT KNOW HOW TO DO THAT--otherwise i surely would. "We" are--with all sincerity, effort, aching urgency--signing petitions, making calls, studying up on issues....apparently to very little avail. This has a juggernaut feel to it--beyond negotiation, traditional good manners or logic, and fueled by overweeing religious fervor and possibly even more overweening personal greed. Guidance????!!!!

It is scary to a President lie, manipulate and present a facade that other countries see as bluster and phony/ USA has lost its stature and that is because of our bellicose President who clearly has personality disorder issues.
