Get out and vote ... for Proposition 8

Too often as citizens, we tend to let our desires as to how our state and country are run be handled by those who really do not have our best interests at heart.

In November, all of us old enough to vote should be at our designated polling station and make our voices heard.

No one seems to be happy with the way our country is right now. Get out and vote and do something about it.

I cannot say of the two candidates who will be the best leader for our country for the next four years. Unfortunately, every election seems to give us fewer good choices for leaders of our country. I feel that it has led us to a situation where it is the blind leading the blind.

There is one point of the upcoming election that I feel a need to address. I would request that a vote of yes on Proposition 8 will help start this state back on the right path. I personally feel that marriage was never intended to be between two men or two women. I find this to be morally unsound.

Do not assume that because I feel that marriage should only be sanctioned to heterosexual couples means I am against homosexuals. Over the years, I have had many friends as well as a son, cousin and sister who have chosen to live this lifestyle. I love them, but not the way they live.

Please note that I say “chosen to live.” I personally do not believe that men and women are born to be homosexual. That is propaganda that has been pushed on us by the psychiatric profession and the extremist liberals who believe that anything that feels good is OK to do.

Until we, who believe that the family and our country need to be protected at all costs, get out and vote responsibly, then very little will change.

We all have it within our power to say enough is enough and take back the Christian values that this country was founded on.
