Let someone else try

Mon., Aug. 11, 2014

Rep. Cathy McMorris Rodgers is out of touch with most Americans. All of her political ads on TV, and there are many of them, say that we “must protect our freedom” from the Obama administration.

Most survey results that I have seen show that most people are mostly concerned about such things as: corporate control of our political system (Citizens United), border control and immigration, the nation’s deteriorating infrastructure, livable wages, quality education that is affordable, corporate welfare and inversion. That is just a few of our troubles that need fixing.

It is time to let someone else try to find solutions.
