Okay here we go...*sliding out my soap box and stepping on it.* This is Jillsville after all so I can say exactly what is on my mind and that is exactly what I am about to do!
Voting is one of the basic rights given to ALL people {of age that is} and one that we should use without reservation. MANY have died so that we might have this right. Not many people use that simple basic right which is beyond my understanding. That being said...here is the point to this blog.
In my humble opinion, our country is in bad shape. There are politicians out there , on both sides of the aisle, more leaning to the right {conservatives} than the left {Dems}, that are more concerned with having President Obama fail rather than work with him to restore this country back to the number one position in the nation. At this point in time our country is the laughing stock of the world. Not the place where I like to be.
This is the time to elect those individuals that are willing to work together in BIPARTISANSHIP in order to restore this nation back to being a strong and solid nation. We must have strong leadership and that begins in the voting booth. People need to be informed and not taken in by the media aka "talking heads". We all have common sense and also a sense of fair play meaning equality for all. The people we elect should have those same values. I am not speaking of only electing the President but more importantly the governing bodies. {The Senate and The House}
The idea that religious beliefs belong in politics is just WRONG. There is NO where in the United States Constitution where any type of religion is stated. So in order for there to be NO religion in politics then there should be no politicians voted in to office because of their religious beliefs. In other words they should not run on religion. We need to take religion out of politics and put it back into churches where it belongs!
The way it is now we still have the majority of people voting on the rights of the minority. That is NOT fair nor equal. This is just another way that our country is being divided. We must stop this from happening. The only way that this can and will change is if WE THE PEOPLE change it by voting for those individuals that we feel have the sense of equality and common sense within them without their religion getting in the way.
I have been voting since I was of age which was 18 years old. My choices have not always been the best, in hind sight. There is one thing that I can say without reservation...my vote has never and will never be religiously motivated.
Please use your basic right and vote. Let us bring this country back together. Take religion out and put common decency back in.
Okay *stepping off the soap box and putting it up.*
These are my thoughts and feelings from Jillsville.
