We Can Make a Difference

A massive malaise is sweeping across the land
People are saying they can’t make a difference
Our so-called leaders have gotten out of hand
Sadly, many voters will certify rank ignorance.
That significant numbers still support Trump
Amazes me. I can’t grasp this conman’s appeal,
For he tried to overthrow the U.S. government
A free and fair national election, he tried to steal.
He’s still going about the country spreading lies
Always tearing down, a serial criminal, I feel.

Folks, we CAN make a difference, I do believe
We can vote for leaders who prize integrity,
We can do everything we can, tensions to relieve
And vote out the scumbags who have no dignity,
Who speak out of both sides of their mouth,
Who say one thing today and another tomorrow
It doesn’t take a lot of homework, just listen…
Make genuine love for our country quid pro quo.
Yes, we can do it! We can do it come November
Let’s make this election one we’ll long remember.

Caren Krutsinger Date: 10/17/2022 12:32:00 AM Why is he not yet wearing his orange jumpsuit? " I can’t grasp this conman’s appeal, For he tried to overthrow the U.S. government" This is unbelievable! And treasonous! Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 10/17/2022 8:03:00 AM It is, indeed, Caren. Something needs to be done about this man. I don't give a rat's behind that he is a former president. He isn't above the law...or is he???

John Lawless Date: 10/16/2022 5:34:00 AM There is an old adage that states: "POLITICIANS ARE LIKE DIAPERS. THEY SHOULD BE CHANGED OFTEN AND FOR THE SAME REASON" Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 10/16/2022 8:08:00 AM Oh, I do like that old adage. First time I ever heard it, but I plan to use it often!!!

Tom Cunningham Date: 10/15/2022 11:37:00 PM It's up to each individual to cast their vote, if they're not happy then vote for someone that will make a difference. Tom Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 10/16/2022 8:09:00 AM Oh, yes, I wholeheartedly agree, Tom. November voting is an opportunity to make a real difference in our country. We need to show them we will not put up with Trump and his minions!

Michael Tor Date: 10/15/2022 4:41:00 PM Milton your passion is heard and felt. I put more trust in the American people like yourself then I do with the Politicians that are destroying this great Country of ours. Runfor office Milton. I think you would be a great candidate, really. The only person in power you can trust is yourself. Just a thought my friend... Login to Reply L Milton Hankins Date: 10/15/2022 7:59:00 PM Oh, my, that's very complimentary, Michael. But I'm much much too old for the stamina required to run for office. I do appreciate your confidence, but I'll have to do what I can do from where I am. That'll have to suffice at this point in my life.
