THE POWER OF OUR VOTE
It’s the election season and the political conventions are raising our political fever even higher than it was four years ago and everyone is realizing more clearly than ever what it means to be an American; the first nation that has ever existed where every citizen has a direct say in choosing their local and national leaders. A say on big states and local ballot propositions, and in any change proposed to our divinely inspired constitution…………. Our voting system works even more direct for citizens than that of ancient Athens, the first democracy.
The value of our vote is being highlighted like never before; our vote is worth more than any country club membership we could ever have, any bank account we will ever have, any credit card we can own, more valuable than any automobiles or homes we will ever own or any influential friends, we can ever make.
Without our vote joined with the votes of other true Americans our way of life, our nation, and even all of western civilization could disappear, and quickly.
Don’t listen to those who scoff at the concern of voters who are alarmed by those who demand convenience, NOT SAFETY, be the most important consideration for our vote on election day.
And, I’d like to add this one little extra thought…………. We Americans need to remember that the security of our family, friends, and nation is not based on me, me, me, but we and us. God bless America and we Americans.
