We have to put our Country over Party.

It doesn't matter if we are Democrats or Republicans. We are all Americans.

Our Country is presently very divided.

There are those who say, "This is not who we are!"

Others have said, "That is who we are."

We have met the enemy and it is us.

Only the people have the power to change it. Their votes for the House and Senate are very powerful. They determine who sits in power in Washington.

It is up to the People to decide if they want to change the direction our country is going? How far will division get us?

If they do wish to change the direction in the House and Senate, then they will need to change the Senators and Congressmen that are heeding progress.

I'm not joking, the things you're saying are reasonable and patriotic. The Republican Party used to stand for something, and patriotism was one of those things.

Here's the problem: the Republican Party has gone to hell. There's no saving it, or the people who still identify with it. But there are a lot of Americans who don't consider themselves Republicans or Democrats, and those are the ones we need to try to reach. I hope we can do it. I hope our Democratic nominee can inspire those Americans who want to save our country.
