"Patriot"

United we Stand- Divided we Fall

~Motto of July, 1942 Flag; U.S.A.

I have been watching the news and reading articles, regarding the government shut-down, this early Sunday morning. I can not say I totally understand, or agree, with what I have read and am seeing in the media.

What I do understand is that this is a great country, that is seriously going astray, and the tide needs to turn.

I am not a politician- I am a patriot. As such, so much of what is being said, on all sides, has little meaning to me.  Simply, it is easier for me to evaluate action and outcome-not inaction, with harmful consequences.

What does have meaning: Our government has taken a position of intellectual and patriotic vagrancy-especially in the House and the Senate.

  

It is time to put ego-centered politics aside, and re-open our government and do what is right, for the American people-the people you are obliged to serve and represent. It is time to make the necessary compromises, that will benefit the people,  prosper our country,  and get us back on course.

For this, you certainly have my support, and prayers.
