We need better, younger leaders

Oh how sad it is when our elected officials, both on the state and federal level, cannot exercise the duties they were sent to do. They argue about such petty things. We need men and women who will do what they were elected to do.

Also, there should be limits on how long they can serve. We have people like Madigan who have been in office forever -- 33 years is too long for anybody to be in office. Some of our federal legislators are in their 80s. We need to start having younger people in office, on both sides of the fence, Republicans and Democrats. Please, let's start getting people who are truly interested in making our country great again.

China, Russia and North Korea, as examples, are watching us. Maybe it's time to get down on our knees, and start praying harder.
