[hometext] => Inspired after watching the John Ford film,
[bodytext] => We have leaders today who are entangled in corruption and have character flaws. You are known to us for having honesty, integrity, great character and your leadership. We need you, Mr. Lincoln. Both parties quarrel, fight, cannot even come to conclusions for our country’s economy or direction. You were able to reach across the political barriers and use them for our country’s benefit. We need you, Mr. Lincoln. Our leaders led us into unnecessary wars and have poor planning to exit them. You, sir, saw us through a great Civil War , and we all came through. We need you, Mr. Lincoln. Our country today needs the kind of leadership we are lacking. Where have they all gone? You, Mr. Lincoln, Mr. President, were a great, wise, prudent leader. We need you, Mr. Lincoln. It’s sad that they gunned and shot you down, Mr. President, sir, when we needed you the most. We think of all the great, wonderful leadership you gave us. You gave us yourself, Mr. President, sir. You were such a great man, Mr. President. You’re gone, we miss, we love you for all that you have done. You even freed an enslaved people. You’re gone, but your spirit moves us on. We will miss you, Mr. President, Abraham Lincoln, sir.
