Thread: My Political Statement of the week

Debra, good work. Now that you have time sending items to your representatives and senators (federal, state, and local) to express your ideas help. Those that don't believe we should fly the American flag or speak English have groups that send out they opinions. They are receiving funding from places other than from Americans, so they are not really speaking for Americans. We need more and more Americans to speak out.

Thank you very much!

Deb..so well put. Thanks!

Use you great writing skills to start writing and emailing government. We need more people here to push lawmakers to do what is right for America.
