To the Editor:

Thank you for printing the timely essay by Linda Feaster, “Responsibility of Leadership Comes Down to Each of Us” (7/8). I salute the two major points she made: first, that we have a responsibility as citizens to keep informed on the issues and vote; and second, that we cannot go it alone as a nation. There’s an old Irish saying, “People live under the wing of others.” That’s true for nations as well.
