Right To Choose

Election time is drawing near. And political tension is high. There is so much anger and fear. Does anyone know the reason why? We are a divided nation. Hatred leads the way. There is no explaination, for where we are today. Relationships have come to an end, because of different political views. We will turn our back on a friend, for the candidate they will choose. This country gave us the right to be free. With the Constitution and Bill of Rights. Are we so blind, that we can't see, what flies above us, our stars and stripes? We have the right to make our choice. Then how can we deny another? We all have the same voice, Why do we hate our brother? Being an American, is who we are, but we need to come together. This country has already come so far, let what is right, lead us into forever. slw

George Washington predicted political parties would be the ruination of this nation. Easy to understand why because candidates are selected according to the wealth they can add to the party and the greater the contributions, the greater the "paybacks", leaving constituents high and dry. Aloha! Rico

You are right Rico. Political agendas are what is important, not the country or the people. Thank you for your insight.

If my party does not win the election I accept it, because without democracy we are lost. Tom

So true Sandy! It is heartbreaking to see how people are treating each other. It is a right to choose and we can respect another's choice. This is a FAV for me :)
