We all need to be on the same team to fight crisis

It takes a special talent keeping a team, a business or any organization working together with everybody on the same page bringing the greater good for all.

Being on a team that can work together and achieve success that benefits as well as society is a good thing.

Right now are all on the same team? I hope so. In a time of great national crisis, we should all be on the same team to resolve and heal our fellow Americans and get back to the prosperity we so recently enjoyed.

We have gone from the one of greatest economic upturns to a halt. Every day, we hear from our media and some politicians the bad news and that is not going to get better soon.

There are those in the media and politicians who cast negativity and cynicism on our president for the job he is doing. These politicians see this as an opportunity to inflict damage on their political rivals and further their agenda. Using this crisis as political weapon to lever their own ideologies and knowing full well they are playing politics and it is shameful.

We have always pulled together in a time of national crisis.

This is serious. Can we be united to fight this virus and put the politics aside? We have that special talent to keep this great country together. We can pull together and get through this crisis.

Quoting a former president: "hope and change." So let's keep hope, and we can change.
