I would think every citizen who believes in America has an obligation to give their all. I’m a retired nurse, have several published books, and now work as a lunch lady in a local high school to stay active physically and mentally. Aren’t we all allowed to use our talents and brains to “increase people’s commitment?”

The other side uses lies (LOTS) and double talk and threats and bribes. If you’re suggesting this as a plan, I can’t agree.
