I'm dropping the Freedom Hills vernacular and the rabid quotes of the conspiracy theory groups. This is my attempt to explain why I am displeased by the current administration.

1. My income is app a third of what it was 4 years ago. I went through a horrible period of nothing at all until the Wounded Warrior Project and the office of Rep Nunnley intervened with the VA.

2. The cost of insurance for Addie more than doubled this year. I had to drop it. Can't afford it.

3. Under Bush, I received above average medical care, meds sent to me always on time, and a dedicated group of care givers. Under Obama I have waits up to 6 months for appointments, my meds are routinely late for up to 10 days, and I never see the same care provider. I haven't been able to see a dentist to fix missing crowns and broken teeth since 2010.

4. I have to seek permission to use my education benefits under Obama. I never have the same education benefit adviser when I call. Under Obama, I can't transfer my education benefits to my children. Bryanna was forced out of school when I could no longer pay her tuition.

5. I applied for Social Security benefits in 2012. I am still awaiting my hearing. I am frustrated by minority and special circumstance individuals being front loaded.

6. Race relations have plummeted. Obama has made statements that unnecessarily added to the turmoil. I live in a town where whites are a minority. I'm a member of the NAACP. It makes me sick when I hear our local chapter calling for the replacement of government officials based only on race.

7. The shortages of reloading components and ammunition was caused by the massive purchases of Homeland Security drying up the market. At one point, more ammo was purchased by Homeland Security than the Marines. Local law enforcement agencies had to halt firearms training because of the shortage. This may seem like nothing to you, but in my area hunting supplies a lot of meat for families during the winter. No ammo, no meat.

That's my feelings.
