[Oe List ...] With love for y’all and love for America ...

[ML Jones]

Thank you Ken Fisher!  I totally agree.  A very articulate Canadian was on
Velshi this morning. Ken Otto and I were most impressed with his
explanation and kindness to so many of us who are very concerned with the
current events from the White House.
Sincerely, Mary Laura  (only five hours from Canada in Michigan and 1 mile
south of the Canadian border when in our summer home in Minnesota)
