5 Days until Nov 2: Love will keep us alive

[FCTP]

I was watching some of the debates between candidates and I wondered, “Why is he/she running for office?” Does this candidate care about me? Is this person running for office because they want to serve me or be served?

A good test before voting for someone is to ask if you believe that person is in it for the right reasons. Is it about them or about us?

Those who I believed were in it for “themselves” appeared to be:

· Climbing the next ladder of success in their professional careers

· Working from their own agendas

· Interested in changing our world to fit theirs

· Had an air of disdain for the common people

Those who I believed were in it for “us” appeared to:

· Have a love for Liberty and Freedom for all

· Wanted to protect the land that I love - America

· Wanted to create opportunities for others to succeed

· Have a genuine love for their fellow man

When I make a decision to hang out with, be friends with, work with or vote for someone-- I choose those who are optimistic, have a sense of humor and make me feel good about myself and about our future. Why would I choose the other? Why would you?

This Congress we have in place today makes me feel as if they hate me. Hate makes me feel cold, disliked, ridiculed, despised, and maligned.

I want a new Congress that makes me feel special and loved. Love makes me feel warm, admired, respected, appreciated and free.

This may appear to be a simple formula for voting for your next Congressman or Governor.

It’s the same formula I use for deep, personal relationships so I think that those who will serve my needs in Washington or my state capitol should meet the same criteria. My life will be in their hands and you can’t get any more personal than that.

When you go to the polls, ask the simple question of each candidate:

“Does this person make me feel special, loved, admired, respected and will this person protect me against those who hate us?”

If you are “feeling the love” – then click Yes next to their name.

Remember, love will keep us alive!
