Watching the news and world events lately makes being raised in the USA feel like an even bigger blessing and privilege. Complacency is not an option though, not now and not at this juncture in history. Our right to pray, to worship, to speak freely, to live our lives the way we choose, our right to run our businesses as we feel we should, to build a future for our children - these rights are systematically being whittled away by a very vocal, very discordant minority of noisy troublemakers. I've never been good at keeping my opinions to myself, and I know that anyone who has ever made my acquaintance, even briefly, knows where I stand spiritually and politically, so nothing I say will come as a shock or surprise to anyone.
Wake up America! Wake up and know that it is not too late to save our nation from the brink of disaster by those who wish to do her harm! It is not too late to keep our right to free speech, to worship God openly and yes, even in public. It is not too late to reduce our dependence on foreign fossil fuels and become self-sufficient, it is not too late to bring us back from the slippery and horribly steep financial slope we are sliding down, it is not too late to let our enemies know that we are NOT going to bow down or apologize for who we are any more!
We have an obligation and a sacred responsibility to get out and vote. Our forefathers shed blood and tears, died on the battlefield, so that we could carry out this most wonderful of duties. No matter whether you agree with me, or don't, whether you vote the way I believe, or in a way I think is detrimental to our country . . . our very right to freedom says that you can feel any way you want. . .Our men and women in the military continue the fight our forefathers started so many years ago, giving their lives, their health, their hearts and their inner peace, so that you can speak your mind. Please do so. Please don't wait, don't be a deadbeat citizen. Get out and vote. Our country depends on it.
