Countdown

In a little over four weeks we have one of the most important mid-term elections in American history. You cannot sit this one out.
________________________________________

This country was founded by people who disagreed with the policies and actions of their government. Read their words:

We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. — That to secure these rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just powers from the consent of the governed, — That whenever any Form of Government becomes destructive of these ends, it is the Right of the People to alter or to abolish it, and to institute new Government, laying its foundation on such principles and organizing its powers in such form, as to them shall seem most likely to effect their Safety and Happiness.

These are the words of the Founding Fathers, those we all call heroes.

And now, 200+ years later . . .

Now, if you disagree with the policies and actions of our government, you are called an appeaser. You are called unpatriotic. You are told you aren't quite smart enough to understand the issues.
Your personal records can be searched without a subpoena. You can be thrown into jail without warrant, without representation, without trial, merely on an accusation offered without proof.

If you value this country, the ideals upon which it was founded, and what it was meant to be, send a clear message to the party of corruption, cover-up, and facism:

Vote for change.

Vote for the vision of Jefferson, Adams, Washington.

Vote for the freedom for which generations of soldiers have sacrificed their lives.

Vote for the Constitution.

Vote against every Republican on your ballot.
