The last time I wrote the bulletin and added a story with this name I ruffled the feathers of some of our members. I thought that was good because it showed that some people actually read the bulletin. If every one felt the same about my story I would have been surprised and disappointed. It is good when people are moved to think about issues that are taking place in our Country. The United States is a great country and I am sure it will survive and prosper once again. Our country has gone through other rough times and has come back even stronger every time. That’s because our country has an open election system that allows it citizens to make changes thru the electoral process. As long as the election system remains in tact and each citizen is allowed only one vote, the problems of our country will heal itself. It may not always work as fast as some may like, but it has proven itself to be quite effective. I can think of no other country that offers the promise to the average citizen that is willing to work. I believe the United States is still the land of promise for those people willing to strive for a better life.
