Wayne-- from an Ohioan, thanks so much for bringing light of truth to this disgusting, tragic and hateful story. Hoping beyond hope that Ohioans will reject all this and re elect Sherrod Brown and that our country will also reject those creating the chaos so we can move to an America free of our thing with race.
I’d like to make a comment on the Springfield situation and the flood of memes it has spawned. Some of them are downright disgusting and some are very clever and humorous.
However, laughing at the memes really bothers me, because the humor comes at the expense of a group of people who fled a failed country. These refugees are trying to make a living for their families, and contributing to the health and vitality and renewal of a town that welcomed them.
Why don’t we read more about the plights and dreams of these people? Why do we scroll by incessant memes and hear only one side of the story - how the town has been devastated by the publicity - put forth only for political reasons?
Hi Dolly and my sincere apologies for not responding way back when you commented. And you're absolutely right. Spot on. More often than I cared to admit, sometimes they can just not figure out how this country got to be the way it is. But, having said that, I think we still have good potential. Thanks for your note, and my apologies again for not responding.

Thanks much Lani. Sherrod is awesome and I sure hope he retains his seat. Thanks for the note.
