I am hearing every day whine, whine, whine, ad nauseam — why don’t they do something about the price of gas, the rising food prices, the border crossings?

Just because our elected officials are rooted to their seats in the big house does not mean they have all the answers or solutions to our urgent problems.

Instead of blaming, shaming and whining, I encourage all of us to call or write to our congressman and woman and offer solutions and suggestions, and even ask what we can do to help get our country back on track. We are responsible for electing this bunch of inefficient do-nothing squabblers.

Let’s do better next time around. Vote blue, let’s get back to electing responsible adults who are not intimidated by name-calling and threats.
