^ Where is my America, I was hoping would at the very least bring a rebuttle of someone who plays in this commentary sandbox a push back of why your America not our America?^ 
^We as citizens have to find our voices in greater numbers or Freedom of Speech goes to waste with no use.

Respectfully, Maybe due to your questioning wether or not commenter's applied for elected official positions? As if this is requirement for educated public's ability to  share knowledge &/or concerns.  Or maybe not, I could be wrong. 
For the record, you previously questioned, in another article,  if I'd thrown my hat in to the political area? Fair enough. 
I'm a USN 20-yr retired 100% DAV. And unfortunately my injuries/disabilities may not allow consistent 24/7 focus, which may not prove cohesive with what our community deserves from their elected officials. 
What's Helen Price Johnsons excuse?
