Thanks, Andi. I have been so angry about the war in Ukraine I have been unable to write a protest song.

I ask the U.S. Embassy Warsaw to issue 3 visas so I could bring a mom and two children to my home in Florida. I would go there to get them. I had in mind to fly to Warsaw and rent a car.

This is the crap they wrote back. "Just send money and don't bother us"

England is making it easy to do this. Why not the Unites States?
