Please, Please, VOTE!

The November 6th election this year is VERY important. I encourage every one of our readers to get out and vote. As Barack Obama has said, “Elections have consequences;” and that is certainly true this year. Our country is essentially deciding if our nation is going to follow our Constitution and our national customs of free market capitalism or…are we going to become another of the world’s failed socialist nations.

 If voters are thinking about following socialism’s course, they should look carefully at two blatant examples of modern-day socialism in our own experience, e.g., the failed USSR and Venezuela. Both of those nations have failed in providing even the basic freedoms our nation and other democratic nations of the world have deemed so desirable and fulfilling. They lack freedom of religion, the press, speech, and their economies are in shambles. Do we really want to go that way??!

Democrats want us to follow the socialist play book. Don’t vote for them. Some Democrats are saying in their campaigns that they support free market, Constitutional, government and closure of the U.S. border to illegal immigration. If you believe that, you should remember that if they are elected to a majority in the House and Senate, they will elect a socialistic House Speaker and a socialistic leader of the Senate. They will never vote to “Make America Great, Again.” Some of them, such as one prominent candidate for mayor of New York, Andrew Cuomo, famously said recently that “America never was that great.” Although 67% of New York likely voters disagreed with him, his statement accurately portrayed the opinion of many Democrats this year.

 The passengers of the Arbella who left England in 1630 with their new charter for an American colony had a great vision. They were to be an example for the rest of the world in rightful living. Future governor John Winthrop stated their purpose quite clearly: "We shall be as a city upon a hill, the eyes of all people are upon us."

 

I still think America is that great “city on a hill.”  Let’s put legislators in office who really believe in America.
