April 26, 2020 – To all of our elected officials: We will continue to give you the benefit of the doubt as long as what you are doing makes sense to us, but if you force our businesses and livelihood into ruin because of ego or politics, then you will have betrayed us.

Love, a concerned citizen.

April 15, 2020 – During the Holocaust, of the six million Jews that were separated from their families and put into camps, only 200,000 survived. Think about them, and what they endured, when you are feeling like you can’t make it under these circumstances. Change and grow people; we will all prevail if we are smart.
