First off I want to apologize for the long post but I feel these things need to be said. If you have more important things to think about today than our children’s future, then please don’t waste your time reading this. Just close the window and go about your merry way and let your children fend for themselves.

If you are still with me, then I challenge you to read the entire post. It may take a few minutes of your time but believe me it is important. This not a political writting, at least that is not my intension. I will not tell you who to vote for in the upcoming election. You, the American people are smart enough to make that decision on your own. You know what is best for our country. The only purpose of this post is to encourage you think about the candidates and make a wise decision on November 4th. It will be here before your know it.

Our country needs you now more than ever before and if I sat by and didn’t try to inspire and move you to action, I would be a hypocrite. My conscience will not let me sit by during this trying time without voicing my opinion and doing my small part to try to divert an upcoming disaster.

We the people of the United States, in order to form a more perfect union, establish justice, insure domestic tranquility, provide for the common defense, promote the general welfare, and secure the blessings of liberty to ourselves and our posterity, do ordain and establish this Constitution for the United States of America.

Aren’t those beautiful words? Stop for a moment and think about the price that has been paid for our freedom by all those that have served over the last 233 years. People our forefathers need your help. The writers of the constitution need your help. Your father, grandfather, great father needs your help. Your children and grandchildren need your help. All those that have fought for our freedom in past and given their lives for this great country NEED YOUR HELP more than ever before in history.

So what’s the problem you ask? Look around you, open your eyes to what is happening. Jobs moving overseas, war, recession, debt, illegal immigration, rising health care costs, welfare, social security, increased tension with Russia, you name it, we have problems yet we can overcome. Our great nation has faced hard times in the past but we are great. We will prevail as long as the people have a will to prevail. If we lose our will to complacency, we will fall and that is what is happening today. We have become too busy with our day to day activities to notice where we are going. We are too busy watching American Idol, King of The Hill, Family Guy or reading about the latest media sensation to pay attention to the actions of our country’s leaders.

In the past few weeks, the chairman of the Federal Reserve and the Secretary of Treasury have met with CEOs of mega financial institutions and promised them loans and guarantees in the billions and billions and billions of dollars. Where did these two people get the power to give away American taxpayer money? They have just doubled our national debt in the past few weeks and there is no end in sight. This weekend they are meeting with your congressmen to come up with a plan to create a new entity where greedy CEOs can sell risky debt to our government which will be auctioned off at a latter date. It’s an open checkbook and you’re going to be signing the checks. These investments banks have used the American public to make risky mortgage loans they can not pay for. The homeowner has paid loan costs and payments for the last few years and now they are losing there house, all money they have paid and their credit. Meanwhile these greedy people have taken their money, their house and now getting money from government. That means YOU and me.

People I beg of you, read about these things for yourself and make up your own mind. Maybe I am just crazy but I don’t think the authors of our constitution would stand by while the American people are taken to the cleaners. Google and read about what is happening today.

So you agree? Something is rotten in Demark? Who coined that phrase and what do they have against Denmark? Sorry got distracted.


So what can YOU do about it? Take the time to research all the political candidates and decide for yourself who has the best interests of the people and who has the interests of special interests. Don’t base your decision on 30 second TV ads or typical media hype. The media has one purpose that is to get you to watch. If they find something bad they try to make it sound worse. If they find something good, they try to make it sound better all to increase viewer ratings. This election is too important to make decisions based on typical political mud slinging and media sensationalism. The American voter needs to make an informed decision.

Read about the candidates; look at where they come from and what they stand for and most importantly look at their past records. What have they voted for in the past? Who has made contributions to their campaign? Will they stand for the American people or special interests? And don’t limit your research to the two political parties. You just may find the best candidate is Libertarian or independent. Yes there are more than two candidates but you have the power to decide who is best for our country and our future. Read, research, understand then vote.

Don’t vote for Obama because McCain is pro-life. Don’t vote for McCain because Obama doesn’t have enough experience. Don’t vote for Obama because he is a democrat and don’t vote for McCain because he is a war hero or you think Obama is a whatever… fill in the blank. People these things are important and in a normal election these issues may be enough for a sound decision but this is not a normal election. Our next president and congress will either save our union or let it fall and I truly believe that. If your next president and congress do not do what is right, if they do not have what it takes to correct our path then the election after this one may not matter.

I don’t believe I am going to say this. I would have never said it before but if you don’t understand the current situation facing America today and you don’t fully and truly understand or believe in the candidates and where they stand, then don’t vote. Let our future be decided by those that do know and not those that like bulldogs in lipstick. Don’t vote for Obama because he’s cool or hip and don’t vote for McCain because he has a hot running mate. How pathetic we have become when we are so amused and distracted by such trivial antics.

Here a couple of links that I find important reading. These folks can write much better than me, I promise.

And one last thing, before you go to bed tonight, stop and say a prayer to your god whatever your god may be. If you do not believe in a god then say a prayer to your Xbox but say a prayer for America and our leaders that they may have the wisdom to know what is right and the strength to stand up and do what is right for the American people.
