It’s time for a declaration of war against terrorism

It is now time for our elected officials to put away their politics of being a Republican or Democrat and become the American leaders that we the people elected them for! Put all those politically correct niceties where the sun don’t shine. We need to make a declaration of war against terrorism and the people who perpetrated this unconscionable act. Our politicians cannot sit around to discuss this! If this isn’t done, I would hate to think that when the next act of terrorism hits our country that it may be my family and yours that we see on TV, because the United States did not respond. And I mean taking out these people, so the world will once again have the respect that our fathers and forefathers built through their blood!

God bless America!
