BRACK: Let’s build hope by talking more about our differences

By Andy Brack, editor and publisher | U.S. Sen. Cory Booker, D-N.J., said something a couple of weeks back that’s been circling through my brain:

“Look, I have this firm belief that if America hasn’t broken your heart, you don’t love her enough.”

My heart is breaking as our nation is being torn apart in ways never imagined by founding fathers and leaders of the country for 200 years.
