    Other Voices: Do more for US citizens

    Hmm … with the upcoming election in 2024 it’s hard for anyone to have faith in a fair election. Another article appeared in this paper about voting machines in Northampton County in Pennsylvania flipping votes.

    This next election for president is going to be a very critical one for we the people, our country and the world.

    As a “elderly” person myself on fixed income, it is so hard to make ends meet. Like so many Americans we are finding it harder to buy food and other necessities to survive, as inflation is out of this world.

    I do not know how people can afford to buy new cars or even afford to keep them up. It’s not just vehicles, but everything a working class person has their sights on but just can’t reach.

    It’s sad that we who worked or are working have these problems while the U.S. is being flooded with illegals who are then given everything.

    We Americans are supposed to WORK all our lives — and some until they drop — just to pay for what we need every day.

    We need new leadership, someone who really gives a damn about we the people and our country.

    Use our tax dollars for the U.S., not everyone else who just wants a free ride. Help our veterans more and make sure they are properly taken care of. Quit spending OUR money to aid in wars for long periods of time. Our military is being depeleted. Just plain help we the people.

    God bless our country. We are more divided than ever under this administration. I am glad my father, a World War II veteran, does not have to witness this disaster now. God rest his soul — he did his part.
