POLITICIANS LEAVE THEMSELVES OUT
This is an open letter to all people in the United States of
America.
I want to express how I feel about drug testing.
Why is it that we drug test most all the working people and students
in school activities, but not elected officials?
These are the people we vote into office to make choices for and
about us -- the working people. I believe testing should be mandatory
for anyone running for public office, from president all the way down
to our city-elected police and fire departments, and be made public
record.
Our senators get lifetime perks from just one term in office that we
the people pay for.
I don't want to vote for some crack head, meth head or alcoholic.
I believe this needs to be brought up during this election year.
Thank you.
