Come together

The 2016 presidential election emphasizes to me the wonderful diversity present in the United States. We have to get beyond criticizing those with whom we do not agree and look for and implement the good presented by all sides. We need to learn to cooperate and compromise for the good of our nation. We must come together and move ahead.
