About Trudy Simms

My father told me 30 years ago “we need to fire them all and start over”. He was talking about our Congress. He said that the American people go to the polls and vote for the same person time and again. Then they complain that nothing ever changes. Isn’t that the very definition of insanity? Doing the same thing over and over and expecting different results. The America I grew up in is generous and gracious to all people…living by the adage that every man is equal in God’s eyes and the love of this Country is rooted in that assurance that we are all created by God and given those inalienable rights by Him not another man or government. We have to get back to the Judeo-Christian beliefs that this magnificent Country was built on and our forefathers spilled blood for. Politicians have ruined this Country. It’s not supposed to be a career, it’s supposed to be ordinary God honoring people who truly want to serve their Country. God bless the USA and Israel…may we never turn our backs on her.”
