BLOG: Upcoming Elections

To people that truly care and those big enough to admit a mistake

I hope with the elections around the corner Votes realize the stakes ... We are individuals and only owe ourselves and our FELLOW AMERICAN's our Vote.

Allegiance to any political party is ignorance, allegiance is owed to ourselves, those we care about and this wonderful country.

Vote with your heart, it is so sad to see an ex-president that detests the current president getting prepared to endorse Barak Obama, when Bill Clinton knows full well what he is doing is destroying America.

I always liked and appreciated Bill Clinton but I am not stupid, I see what Barak Obama has done and what he and his party have planned for us. Bill Clinton does too and to see him endorse, what he knows is wrong is a terrible thing just because he calls it his party. (I voted for him)

I researched Obama and realized how dangerous it was for us to put him and his NEW PARTY platform in office ... .

If you feel your friends, neighbors and fellow Americans—with the liberty we have lost and the debt we have gained—are better off, then follow your heart.

"When the government gives everyone something for nothing soon no one will have anything."

The Democratic party has changed, they know feel they can run our lives better than we can.

From local elections to the national stage, I hope we as Americans have the intestinal fortitude to say, "I am an American and just because I supported you in the past doesn't mean I support you now."

I'm sorry but I don't need a party that wants to tell me what to eat, drink and do with my life.

From the towns (ever want to make a change in your own yard?); to the State (employs 5 workers to watch one contractor fill a pot hole); to license tabs (finally cut to $99.00 back to $500.00 with Gov. Dayton); to schools with a superintendent who is told a teacher is doing nothing in class and responds with, "If you were 3 years away from retirement would you still do your job" (educated idiot). 

Think first, then VOTE. "It's ok to make a mistake and go back and fix it."
