in all the news items we're inundated with right now, this one focuses on key aspects that might be overlooked as we get sidetracked by the red herrings and distracted by the circus. it's nice to hear people who are still looking at reality, still believes in the country and upholding democracy. I appreciate you hat they have people from different political backgrounds but all who believe in our country and serving the country.

Taking a stand for democracy.
