During my university years, I once heard someone say that the United States is the land of the melting pot. I always pondered the strange terms referenced and wanted to know the contents that were melting.
When I first arrived in the US, the phrase revealed and unfolded itself like an origami that is both expected and surprising simultaneously. The journey from the airport to the place I stayed in, I saw people from various countries: race, culture, ethnicity, and color. The sudden awareness of the true meaning made me feel special as I was now a part of the pot too.
Every February, on Abraham Lincoln’s birthday, Americans rehearse a familiar liturgy. Lincoln is praised as the Great Emancipator, the savior of the Union, the embodiment of moral clarity and constitutional restraint.

Am I truly living up to my oath of office to defend and protect the Constitution?
Am I upholding America’s democracy and freedoms for which millions have perished to protect?
Am I fighting for what’s right, opposing what’s wrong, and embracing what’s morally virtuous?
Am I elevating my homeland’s well-being above my own aspirations and my treasured dreams?
Are there 10 honest Republican members of Congress who can say, yes, I have lived up to these ideals and values?
I dare say no.
The Democrats can potentially wrest control of Congress in the upcoming midterm election only if they listen very carefully to what the American people are yearning for. The public cares less about left, right, or centrist slogans; they need a government that provides the means and the opportunities to meet their basic needs and live with dignity
