YOUR VOTE MAY CHANGE YOUR AMERICAN WAY OF LIFE

As the general election date of November 4, 2008, comes closer to closer to registered voters, many life-saving and critical economic decisions are in the balance by those who actually exercise their right to vote. Whatever your persuasion regarding political parties, the philosophical and ethical consequences hang in the balance by how voters view the political candidates for public office. YOUR VOTE DOES MAKE A DIFFERENCE!

Since the presidential election hinges on a number of realistic issues and political party's platforms, the registered voters will determine in each state in the Union the outcomes that will be confirmed by the Electoral College. This is a sound procedure set up by the Founders of our Country and the masterminds behind the construction of the Constitution of the United States and the Bill of Rights. The checks and balances necessary to avoid any dictatorship or federalism that would change our economic and political atmosphere and system. IF WE ARE POLITICALLY FREE, WE ARE ECONOMICALLY FREE!

However, even if a voter is confused by the political rhetoric and the campaign promises that are unconfirmed until actual action by the presidential nominees, the voting records and the political biographies are available to compare and to make a sound judgment on the facts rather than the myths that are presented.
Congressional candidates for public office do receive the actual votes from their various states based on their past voting records and their focus on the challenges of the present and the projected future. These political candidates need to be assessed as to their views and their convictions on a number of issues that are valuable to the voter and to the constituency in general.

Here are a few issues for the Congressional candidates for public office to give their support or their opposition in 2008.

ABORTION: Do you support or oppose using taxpayer funds to pay for abortions?

EMBRYONIC STEM-CELL RESEARCH: Do you support or oppose using taxpayer funds for research that involves destroying live human embryos to obtain cells for experimentation?

ENVIRONMENT: Do you support or oppose reducing greenhouse gas emissions by requiring energy efficiency and pollution prevention in order to protect the earth for future generations?

CONSCIENCE PROTECTION: Do you support or oppose preventing federal agencies and states that receive federal funds from discriminating against health care providers who do not perform or participate in abortions?
(Hyde-Weldon Amendment)

EDUCATIONAL ASSISTANCE: Do you support or oppose reauthorizing No Child Left Behind to ensure that all children receive the educational services they need, whether in public or nonpublic schools?

HEALTH CARE: Do you support or oppose reforming our health care system to ensure there is affordable, accessible health care for all, especially for poor families with children and for persons with disabilities?

IMMIGRATION: Do you support or oppose permitting undocumented aliens who have been living in the United States for a number of years and who do not have criminal records to earn legal status by paying fines, paying back taxes, and agreeing to learn English?

PARENTAL RIGHTS: Do you support or oppose providing federal financial assistance to low-income parents to choose the schools they believe are best suited for their children?

REFUGEE ASSISTANCE: Do you support or oppose providing adequate funding for the U.S. Refugee Admission Program to accommodate an increase in numbers of refugees escaping persecution abroad?

Voters may also have additional concerns that they wish to have addressed by the Congressional Candidates running for public office in 2008. The American People have the opportunity to research their candidates and to decide which candidate will best represent their interests until the next Congressional election. AMERICANS PLEASE STAND UP AND BE COUNTED AMONG THOSE WHO ACTUALLY VOTE AND PARTICIPATE IN THE PROCESS. If voters are looking for perfect answers with perfect solutions, they may have to look again in their "crystal ball" and wake up to the reality of a human-based and an imperfect atmosphere. However, American ingenuity has triumphed in the past when "push came to shove." E Pluribus Unum and In God We Trust are still hallmarks of our monetary system and in our UNITED STATES OF AMERICA!
