I can't believe I am complaining about a tax cut. However, when anyone, particularly a president who makes deals to benefit only himself, messes with my finances, I get nervous.

We seem to have lost the feeling of being a united nation. I plan to send a postcard each day to our new President sharing what drives me through my days, what I want for this country, and what I want our nation to stand for. You are free to comment. I hope you will comment with generosity and civility. Please respect the intent of this effort. Thank you, Dianne

National security experts oppose "the wall"...
This is a credible group of national security experts who are opposing Trump's wall. Their efforts should be taken seriously.

A step away from disaster...
If anything needs to be fixed, it is the massive profits that are made off of Americans' injuries, illness, and accidents. Bankruptcy because of health care is a crime against humanity and all of us are only a step away from financial disaster.

Repay what is owed....
Social Security is a promise made to American workers. We contributed to the Social Security fund and do not want anyone to mess with it. Repay what is owed and there will be enough for everyone.

Cooperation for the benefit of the people...
All I ask for is cooperation in the best interests of the people. Our constitution is "of the people, for the people, by the people" and that takes cooperation. Power hunger and greed will never lead to cooperation for the benefit of the people.

This is a scary development...
The record is clear, many of the "emergencies" that have been declared have financial benefit for someone. And, many of the "emergencies" are renewed on a regular basis with the goal to amass more presidential power. This is a scary development.

We need efficient border crossings for families...
If any drugs are coming across desert and river crossing, it is "coyotes" who require families who are unable to use the the dedicated entries to carry backpacks with drugs in them. If these families could use the entries in a timely and efficient manner, they would be coming without the backpacks.

Good advice...
I remember telling my children to pick their friends carefully for obvious reasons, not the least of which is what rubs off your friends onto you. I still think it is good advice.

How is it that bulldozers can show up on private property with no notice, wiping out all vegetation, and installing a razor wire fence?

Preserve our public lands... Please!
Our first National Park was Yellowstone, signed into law in 1872. Every park since then has been a hard fought battle between preservation and exploitation. Even today, we are fighting a battle to save our treasured lands from extraction industries who only see dollar signs.

If one is not okay, neither is the other...
All these interventions were made to exercise power over and financial gain from countries in South America, not for the benefit of the people. This is exactly what happened in our last presidential election.

You can't have it all "your" way....
Those who are elected by the American people have a responsibility to the voters of our country. We know we don't get everything we want the way we want it. But we do expect that those elected will work together to find a middle place that serves the needs of the people. Expecting to have it all "your" way, is infantile.

It would be wise for any president to look at the numbers. If American voters are ignored, then I predict that they will not make the same mistake twice. Working to enrich the rich is not what Americans on either side of the aisle are looking for. You have been forewarned.
