As we look here in town and elsewhere for jobs the possibility of going to a new country crops up. Temp or permanent? What do we do with our stuff? Our dog has been quarantined for EU countries for over four years – will anyone allow her to come with us?

What language do we need to learn? Is it safe to live there? Do I need to cover my face and hair and be banned from buying groceries without my husband present? There will be no brothers or uncles present to guarantee my safety.

Americans are considering going overseas for employment. Think about that Mr. President and Congress. All our Senator can provide is to require anyone with a home computer to keep everyone’s data on it for two years to give to law enforcement officials. That means anyone who emails, or talks to us on the phone, in order to keep children safe.

I think Mr. Cornyn has bigger fish to fry. His people are out of work and other countries don’t want to let US citizens in on a work visa. Yes, US citizens are considering going to other countries to find work.

Please let the market fix this. Giving money to these weasels doesn’t help anyone but the top 10%, The guys who broke it aren’t about to fix it. They’ll just take the money and go. Or not go, which is worse?

As a US citizen for fifty years I plead for you to not pressure us to go to another country for work. You, our elected representatives, can do better than that. Fitfully, Dee

Today, a new world is upon us. The Lincoln Bible lent by the Library of Congress stirred my heart, especially as President Obama was the first President to use it since President Lincoln in 1861. People in Europe think we have no history, yes we have history.

It’s interesting that President Obama’s speech was not for the ages, but for us. It is up to us to fulfill these promises and hold our government, President Obama at the helm, accountable.

My favorite segment today was Malia taking photos, with her camera, and sharing them with VP Biden. Yeah, I’m a sucker for the photo-op, but this was a reverse.

When it comes to Bibles, I noticed that the First Lady carried the Lincoln Bible. The Biden Bible was handed to his wife pre-oath and it’s no wonder. I read that this Bible has been in his family for many years but it was somewhat humorous to see it in its entirety.

Today, I believe that all of us should be proud. Also, I believe that Martin Luther King, Jr., Abraham Lincoln, Rosa Parks, Robert Kennedy, Jesse Jackson, Andrew Young, Coretta Scott King, Aretha, Muhammed Ali, George Washington Carver, Shirley Chisholm, Paul Robeson, Sojourner Truth, Harriet Tubman and so many others paved the way for this historic day.

Aretha made me cry for my country, The President made me hope for the future, and Rev. Lowery put things in place. God Bless America, the land I love. Cheers and let’s hope the economy strengthens, Dee
