It’s time for America to help itself

jblackmon@thesunnews.com

How many countries sent aid to the United States during our recent floods to help the victims? Name one? How many countries received billions of our tax dollars to help them in time of need? All of them.

How many of our sons and daughters sacrificed their lives and are continuing to do so for these people? And for what? Wake up America, for God’s sake. We must elect somebody who can stop this.
