Be sure and Vote it is your duty Citizens (267)

Just a reminder here that next tuesday is our day as voters in this nation. It is the day we can actually take part in doing something about our government. We have the power to elect who will represent us at local, State and National levels of our government. We can make it what we want it to be, but we must do our duty as citizens of this land and make sure we make our votes count.

LET US HAVE FAITH THAT RIGHT MAKES MIGHT, AND IN THAT FAITH, LET US, TO THE END, DARE TO DO OUR DUTY AS WE UNDERSTAND IT.

These words were from the speech in New York that propelled Abe Lincoln into the Presidency in 1860. That was 150 years ago but his words are good for us today also.
Our country was not built on handout programs, our country was built on hard work and a will to be free and out from under the heavy hand of too much government. We must remain vigilant and true to that cause of staying free and not allowing government to spend us into debt that we will not be able to emerge from. We are close to that I fear, and so I for one will watch what our elected officials do after they get into office. If they vote for things that we as a nation can not afford, I will work hard to vote them out....Right now we have a lot of them that need to go as comprehensive government of everything for everybody is about all they know. We need representation that gets us back to basics of smaller government, that provides for a strong national defense but starts to wean us off of the many programs that we can not afford....I hope you will also vote your wishes for the nation on election day....

But in simpler terms, let me say that free ice cream for everyone as is the goal it seems of our current government, is just not practical. You see to have free ice cream you have to have a cow and to have a cow giving milk you need hay and then you need someone behind the cow cleaning up the mess...you get the drift, freedom is not free and free stuff is never free, it all cost money, big money that we do not have and can no longer afford to borrow....Let us be about getting it right on Nov. 2nd.
