The Right to Choose
Some
Conservatives have decided not to vote in the upcoming election because they
feel neither candidate stands for the Biblical principles their particular
faith teaches. I can understand this to a point, but SOMEONE will end up in the
White House and we, as Americans, have the right to choose, to vote for a
candidate with integrity and moral character, despite his religious persuasion.
No President can legislate religious faith, but he can lead by an example of
integrity of honest and decent character, someone who honors life and the
pursuit of happiness, who is respected by both believer and skeptic, someone
who other national leaders can esteem.
When someone tells me they are not voting, fire rises in my bosom. I am descended from a long line of
ancestors who bled the ground red for the liberty to choose a leader. I have
visited their graves, read their stories and I honor their great courage and
sacrifice. I am a Daughter of the
American Revolution, and I will not forsake this right to cast my vote
simply because neither candidate suits my ideals. Someone DIED for this right. If you don’t honor this freedom to cast your
vote, then you do not understand true liberty and what it cost our ancestors. If
you choose not to vote…it may cost you, not with your life, but with your
liberty.
VOTE! Someone died
to give you this freedom!
