Disturbed and discouraged

I am a senior, and I am so troubled about what our elected officials are allowing to prosper in our America.

There are a few that speak up. Thank the Lord for those in the House and in the Senate. But it seems to me that most tread on their tip toes, and We the People have little voice these days.

This president just keeps getting away with whatever he wants. We hear that he's trampled our Constitution, and then that goes by the wayside and we are diverted by another development or scandal that never seems to end. Why hasn't our Congress called for impeachment, if this president has broken our laws? How is it that these Benghazi hearings can go on for months and months without having a single person being held accountable, much less fired? Not Hillary, not the president, not even those who gave the stand-down order. I am very disturbed.

I'm one of those that feel quite helpless about what is happening in our America. I grew up in best of times – the '40s and '50s. Yes, I am a senior. I wish I didn't feel so helpless about what is happening, in plain sight.

Thank you for all you do. Please keep up your fine work.
