Where has democracy gone? Of the people, by the people, for the people,…. Only words. …. When a foreign country air mails DEATH to the USA, I was under the misconception that our government would help us, inform us of the dangers, STOP the source foreign country from continuing with the crime,…. History will show that President Obama will be remembered as the President responsible for more deaths on home soil than any other leader … EVER! And where are the voices of the candidates to replace President Obama? Conspicuously absent. Not one word about the worst accident in History. We all know that there is NO solution at the present time to this problem. But please let us know when releases are planned or even happening. Give us a chance to know the truth and exercise the democracy we tell the world we have. HELP!
