When you go to vote...

     When you go to vote, ask yourself this...
     Does the candidate I favor claim to work for the "quality of life for the most vulnerable among us," without protecting the right of the absolutely most vulnerable to even be born? I would say, Allow the children to be born, and then talk to me about how to improve their way of life.
     Ahh... quality of life. The justification for abiding, even promoting, the destruction of millions of unborn children, here and abroad.
     Our government's job is to protect our individual rights, including our right to live. Protecting us is not the same thing as providing for our material needs.
     Does your candidate stand arm in arm with protectors of life and liberty? And when I say "life," I mean the right to actual life... that is, the ability to be born.
     Or does your candidate stand with destroyers of life and liberty? Is that whom you would turn to for protection?
     If your core beliefs include the protection of life and liberty, why would you turn over your responsibilities, your treasure, and your voice to a governing body that doesn't share those core beliefs.
     A couple of years ago, the slogan was, "Yes, we can."
     We the People are not a collective... We are a collection of individuals who can help our neighbors.
     It's not, Yes, we can.
     It's, Yes, I can. Remember that.
     When it comes to empowering those in government to do what you ought to do, because they say they can and that you can't... Don't believe them. You can. Especially when they are willing to sacrifice some, for the good of the collective.
     It comes down to this when you vote... Stand up for the unborn, and for freedom, and take care of the vulnerable people yourself.

  2. Hi Cheryl! I'm a new visitor, just linked over from Creative Minority Report. Your blog is fantastic! I particularly like this post. I get really upset when faithful Catholics vote for pro-choice Dems because "at least they help the poor, and George Bush didn't stop abortion" (an actual argument that someone used).

    Anyway, thanks for a great blog! I'll continue reading regularly. And I will keep your father-in-law and mother-in-law in my prayers.
