What happened to honesty, integrity?

To the Editor:

Whatever happened to honesty and integrity in the United States of America? Lying, cheating and immorality seem to be the acceptable norm these days.

We have a serving President who is a convicted felon from the hush money trail with a porn star.

A jury of his peers found him guilty and liable for sexual abuse and defamation. Is this the kind of person our nation wants leading us?

Not even to mention what we all witnessed with our eyes and ears leading up to January 6 and the attack on our Capitol to overturn a free and fair election. More lies. This is not fake news as some would like you to believe. Sadly, many do. If the American voter continues to elect known liars and cheats into our highest offices, we are in danger of losing all that the United States of America stands for.

It’s happening right now before our eyes. Make your voice heard and stand up to protect honesty and integrity in our great country.
