Letter
Unite
All the
living ex-Presidents can’t be wrong. In fact, they are, absolutely
right. We should, can and will unite to help all the United States
citizens affected by all the recent natural disasters. This is
what Americans do.
Americans, also, must unite to show the world that we do care about
the needs of all our citizens including the disabled, the
chronically ill, the elderly, the socially and economically
disadvantaged and immigrants.
Americans do not admire, respect and support leaders who are
hateful, spiteful, vindictive, derisive, insensitive, intolerant and
irresponsible.
Stand
up for the America we know and believe in. Be an active participant
in our great democracy. Be an informed voter and tell our
leaders what you think it means to be an American.
Thank
you for your consideration,
Sandy
