Just A Thought November 3, 2008

"Although He's regularly asked to do so, God does not take sides in American politics."

There's been a lot of talk about the upcoming election. Rightfully so, for it is one of epic historical proportions. My biggest fear however, is that everyone is going to cast their vote for president but neglect the other areas of importance on the ballot. Elections are about so much more than who should hold the top office. Aldermen, Congressmen, State Representatives, Mayors, Governors, Attorney Generals, Treasurers, School Board Officials, Senators, Judges, and Lieutenant Governors are all just as important as who our next President will be. Actually, they are even MORE important when you think about the fact that they directly impact your day to day living. These people decide things that affect you at the city and state level. While the bills the President will ultimately approve or veto are important, think about who ultimately initiates these bills. Be sure to study the candidates and the issues at hand. Cast an informed vote for EVERY office or issue printed on the ballot. That's how REAL change takes place.

"In politics, an organized minority is a political majority."
