America will be destroyed unless we get out and vote

Dear Editor, As I write this, our beloved America is in the throes of a revolution. This revolution resembles almost none of the scenarios that have been seen in Hollywood’s blood and guts or political intrigue presentations.

Do they hate the support system taking care of the truly poor people who have to…

Go to work and grow your financial security

Dear Editor, Working a job that pays you money is your best assurance for financial security.
