Before we are Democrats, Republicans, or Independents, we are Americans. That idea has largely been forgotten in Washington, D.C. Politicians in D.C. have failed the American people. They’ve become so focused on putting points on the board against the other team that they have failed to come together to solve the many issues facing Maine and America’s families and small businesses.
Politicians need to put their self-interests aside and remember that they work for the people. The time has come to stop the games and political posturing, and to embrace real solutions. We can solve the issues facing our country but we need to put politics aside and find real solutions.
