The government needs to quit meddling in the individual lives of our citizens. The 10 th Amendment is very clear: "The rights not given to the Federal Government are reserved to the states" Our Democracy is as strong as its citizens; I have not lost faith in our country, but the members of Congress must be retired; they are the root of the problem.
We have not had an Immigration plan in 37 years. We must look back to the plans considered over the years and expand on those and complete one that will allow Seasonal workers, and those that can be sponsored by citizens and who can contribute to the growth of this country.

We are the greatest country on earth and to those that much is given, much is expected. Protecting and encouraging democracy as the best form of government should be the central feature of our foreign policy.
