Joe Abraham @angeldadjoe - Perhaps we need a different perspective than this:

One that moves beyond paid political consultant slogans about “fighting for you.”
What if we focused on something more fundamental: the virtue of doing the work?
My immigrant father came to America later in life. He didn't expect America to fight his battles for him.
He worked hard.
He provided for his family.
He bettered himself.
He contributed to the community he called home.
That wasn't just a path to success. It was a responsibility.
Scripture understood this long before political consultants did. Work has dignity. Providing for your family matters. Idleness is not a virtue.
Why should we expect anything less from government?
Governing means doing the hard, often thankless work: enforcing laws, protecting people, closing gaps, fixing what isn't working and having the humility to change course.
Because when government doesn't do that work, people pay the price.
I lost Katie.
She died a violent death on the streets of sanctuary Urbana, Illinois. Her only mistake was trusting that Illinois was doing the right things.
