I am not voting for a man. I do not give blanket or tacit approval to everything our President has done or said in the past. I at times cringe at his tweets nor condone all that he has said. Like the Fireman who drops the “f bomb” while putting out the fire in your house, I can live with some of President Trump’s foibles. He gets the job done and at the end of the day it is results that count. Nor do I approve of what Vice President Biden has said or done in the past or recently. He has had forty-seven years in government to get it right and he has failed miserably. I challenge you to name one of his accomplishments.
I am voting for Constitutional government. I am voting for a strong and viable military. I am voting for a vibrant economy. I am voting for the right to keep and bear arms as guaranteed by the U.S. Constitution. I am voting for the freedom to worship. I am voting for a national recognition that the founding of our nation was based on Biblical principles.
I am voting for the ability for anyone to rise above their circumstances and become successful. I am voting for my children and grandchildren to be able to choose their own path in life, including how and where their children are educated.
I am voting for our borders to be open to everyone who enters under our law and closed to everyone who would circumvent or ignore the law. I am voting for the Electoral College to remain in place, so that a few heavily populated liberal centers do not control the elections and the voices of the valley are ignored.
I am voting for a Supreme Court that interprets the Constitution rather than rewrites it. I am voting to teach history, with all its warts, not erase it or revise it. I am voting for the sanctity of life from conception to birth and after. I am voting for a party who in its creed states that the free enterprise system is the most productive supplier of human needs and economic justice; that all individuals are entitled to equal rights, justice, and opportunities and should assume their responsibilities as citizens in a free society; that fiscal responsibility and budgetary restraints must be exercised at all levels of government; that the Federal Government must preserve individual liberty by observing Constitutional limitations; that peace is best preserved through a strong national defense; and that faith in God, as recognized by our Founding Fathers is essential to the moral fiber of the Nation.
I am not voting against Joe Biden, but rather I am voting for a party that embodies the values and principles both my fore fathers and I fought for over two hundred years to maintain. This why I am voting Republican this fall.

4 年Well said sir!! I supported Sen Cruz in 2016.Donald Trump won, so I supported him.President Trump says or tweets things he shouldn’t, but he provides results. He is not a career politician. I feel that President Trump is the only one to lead us forward.
