It’s Presidents Day

Celebrating Presidents Day is for thinking about all of our Presidents, to me anyway. I would not celebrate several Presidents, especially these days. I take great pride in being American but would love to return to the time when the people mattered.

On this day, my mind goes to our Founding Fathers who laid the groundwork for a civil society. I can imagine how hard that must have been, some love and others hate and the story continues.

I believe in the Constitution, it’s America’s framework, and wish people in office would read and follow the laws. I read a copy of the original Constitution and it’s straightforward. It’s clear who can run for office and who can’t. Those rules are being overlooked today or we would have one less on the campaign trail. The same rules apply to anyone in Congress but they left the book at home.

Sorry, this post isn’t upbeat. We vote for President next year and we have no viable candidates. I see a future with more division, hatred, racism, lying, mass shootings, and losing more personal rights.

That doesn’t make me feel hopeful.
