America, we are better than these last eight years. We are a better country than this.
This country is more decent than one where a woman in Ohio, on the brink of retirement, finds herself one illness away from disaster after a lifetime of hard work.
We’re a better country than one where a man in Indiana has to pack up the equipment that he’s worked on for 20 years and watch as it’s shipped off to China, and then chokes up as he explains how he felt like a failure when he went home to tell his family the news.
We are more compassionate than a government that lets veterans sleep on our streets and families slide into poverty…
… that sits on its hands while a major American city drowns before our eyes.
It’s déjà vu all over again.
My spouse and I have already been contacted to deploy to Shreveport for the animal rescue operation.
Let’s hope the bullet gets dodged this time
