People ask me, “Richard, why should I vote in this year’s election? My vote won’t matter.” They also ask me if the Lord will handle it. The first answer I give to people is you need to vote or sometime in the future that right will be taken away from us. The second answer yes, the Lord will handle any situation, but the Lord gives us the power though him to change people’s ideas. I know elections can be vicious, but that is what makes this nation great. We have the power to elect are leaders. What other nation in this world has this right?
This election is more important than any other, it is no longer a battle of political parties, it is a battle of philosophies and where our nation should go. In conclusion, the Republican Party has the goals of less government and more freedom for the people.
