I don't want to get involved in the election discussion and I hope Rangernet is spared from more of what is now beginning. Please begin to pray for our new president and give him a chance. Somehow I believe God is in this. Time will tell. As for the ROY discussion, I am not a supporter of this part of Royal Rangers because I think we should focus on the group and not the individual. Just my humble opinion.
