To the editor:

We need to stop watching the smoke-and-mirror tricks of our national administration on all its foreign and domestic policies.

We Americans are highly educated and smart enough to look up history and see who our leaders were when times were good and jobs were plentiful, when we were highly respected around the world, had a right to public education, health care, housing, retirement, and the American Dream was attainable.

We have less than one year to get the voter message out and to get people registered to vote.

If we do not vote to make some major funding changes, our children will never even have the proper education to understand how the world became the way it is today.

Grant Stewart,
