A digital contingency

John,   The last few days have been a roller coaster of anxiety and confusion, and have laid bare so many weaknesses in our current healthcare system. It’s also shown us the need for strong, ethical leaders who put people above party.    Over the last fe…

The definition of hypocrisy!

Challenger: 100% vs. Incumbent: 26%

John,    We’ve all heard politicians make big speeches pledging to voters that they have their interests at heart. We’ve all been let down by politicians who don’t. That’s why it’s so important to me that you know the answer to the all-important question…

(Not my) president’s day.

Nah.

Hey John,   I’m sure you’re as frustrated as I am with the catastrophe of last night’s Caucuses in Iowa. It’s an absolute shame that in 2020 we are seeing this level of incompetence in such an important election. Is this a sign of things to come this elect…
