Democracy is two wolves and a lamb

voting on what to have for lunch.

Liberty is a well-armed lamb contesting the vote!

~ Benjamin Franklin

To all Veterans

Thank you!

I grew up in the 1940's

and was taught and grew up believing

that America

was a country for all.

All beliefs and races were to be

respected

and America was a great country

because it was a

"melting pot."

The majority of Americans

did not vote for Trump.

He became president

because of the electoral collage.

I believe the majority of Americans

are afraid and appalled

at Trump's and the Republicans actions.

I too am afraid. What will happen?

Will Americans speak up

and see that our constitution is followed?

Should I be afraid because

I have expressed my opinion here?

Yes, I am afraid and that is very sad.
