WHH - Letters to the Editor

Presidential Politicians

Presidential Politicians,

After reading and listening to numerous talking heads, political analysts', and viewing various polls, I'm with the majority of voters who conclude that our Nation is on the wrong path. About 80% of those polled believe we are on the wrong path, and about 60% believe we will be leaving our children a worse place to live than our parents were able to leave us. This is really a sad situation, but for sure I support that conclusion.
