Author’s note as preface:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

“I feel like someone needs to talk honestly to America. I’ve chosen to convey this in the form of a letter or monologue, the voice, “The Speaker” (an outsider) speaking calmly to America’s past, present and future – the few words highlighted that ring true in a sea of vitriol.” <\/em><\/p>\n
