The Ship of State

Our vessel is burning on many decks. Casualties abound. Citizens struggle to put out the flames, many even perishing in the process. Saving the ship is being hampered by a criminal, crazed captain and a mutinous few who continue to disrupt damage control and burn the vessel.

On the horizon is a rescue ship sailing towards us. Help is on the way. Keeping the Ship of State afloat until rescue arrives is our task.

We can do it!

between the election and inauguration is going to the real test in keeping the ship afloat. But, as you confidently declare: we can do it!
