It is simply a political decision by partisan activists who want 'their' way to override the law as passed by the legislature and stop the executive branch from executing it. I'm as upset as I've been at any times in my life when it comes to politics. I don't think I feel that way because of my German background. This is plain justice and fairness I'm seeking. I can see no way for our country to accept a leader who simply makes up the rules as he goes along and then claims to be elected by the people. In the old days this type of system was known under other names. I thought we were above that by now. It is a sad day for our country. I'm sorry but I simply have to vent my frustration somewhere, somehow. I already wrote to the Naples Daily News and they just called me to verify my address. I feel powerless and disenfranchised. This has never happened before. Fred PS I know this has nothing to do with German culture etc except for the fact that I feel I'm among friends here. 4788 Corian Court Naples, FL 34114 941-775-7838 [email protected] Florida Law - count dimples but not military votes
