Don’t throw away vote

I am shocked by the number of people who are not going to vote in this most important election of all time. It is such a privilege to live in a nation that we, the people, have a say in who will govern us.

I understand if you are looking for a person to change America, you will find none. We are all flawed, full of sin, without the ability to live a fully righteous life. What we must do is look at what the two parties stand for. There is a moral right and wrong in each of us, values that we hold dear. This year don’t vote for a person or simply stay in your political affiliation, vote for which party best promotes what is in agreement with your values. Even if you don’t vote for president, vote for those who will serve in Congress.

We can change the direction we are headed, make America better for future generations. We can stop the murder of unborn babies. We can make a difference in the Supreme Court. All we have to do is vote. Don’t throw your vote away and then complain about how our nation goes.
