The Cause of Freedom...

This Tuesday we all have the opportunity to stand for something, stand for a cause our forefathers believed in, stand for a cause countless soldiers have laid down their lives for, stand for a cause God himself has provided us with in this great country, the cause of freedom. Though we support different candidates, that cause should unite us as we participate in an event not granted to all the people of the world, but held sacred by those who are true to the cause of freedom. Please join me at the polls and cast your vote for those you believe will hold to the principles you believe in. It's your duty as an American.


I believe it was William E. Simon who once said “Bad politicians are sent to Washington by good people who don't vote.”  You may think your vote doesn't affect much. Tell that to the Floridians who's votes were counted again and again deciding the 2000 Presidential Election.  Tell that to the congressional candidate in California that won by 8 votes. Tell that to my father who won his last election by 45 votes.


Silence is acceptance, if you don't vote on Tuesday, you better not open your mouth and complain for one second about anything. Don't you dare complain about taxes, don't complain about fuel prices, about the economy, about traffic, laws, environment, health care, roads, crime, education, etc. Everything in your life is affected by those who are elected to lead our cities, our states, our nation, and if you don't voice your opinion in the election booth, don't voice it any other time.


It is your duty as an American to vote... but that's just me.
