If I were in Charge (Political Change)

Many Americans are not happy with at least some of the way politics work and how things are going. I feel strongly that if you have no suggestions for fixing a problem or making things better than you should not complain about it.  So here are my ideas on how to make things better.
Odds are good you will not agree with all I write here and that is fine, after all that is what America is about! I welcome comments and emails +Rory Fansler  and especially look forward to constructive ideas.  Insults and attack posts will promptly be deleted and not considered but any intelligent note made in good faith will get serious consideration.

Politics

War of America is a collection of videos, good and bad that I think are important social issues going on.
Trump is a list for things that tick me off about the current administration and I use these in tweeting to my legislative reps or activist posts.
Health Care is about various news or educational items related to Health Care.
Climate and Environment is about Climate change and things we need to pay attention to if we want to continue have quality air and water.
