What Is the Price of Your Voice
On July 4th, 1776 This Land Became Emancipated or Freed from Great Britain, though My Fore-Fathers would Remain Enslaved for the Next 80 Plus Years Till September 22, 1862, and again on June 19th, 1865 For the State of Texas.
For that 80 Year Period, Both Men Who Wore Red and Blue Thought it Best to Maintain the Current System of Free Labor, Or Slavery.
Yes I Know that Time Has Passed, Songs Written, and The World Has Since Moved On.
Though No Apology Given, Admission of Wrong-Doing, Or Retribution Sought.
I Only Mention it Now, Because Some Would Contemplate, Fathom, or Think that More Blame Should be Born or Carried By the Red, More Than the Blue.
I Say Nay, There Is Enough Blame on Both Sides, For During that 80 Year Period, Slaves Served Dutifully Both Red and Blue Households.
So When the Opportunity Comes to Speak Your Mind, Make Your Choice, Or Give Your Allegiance.
I Only Ask that You Be Informed Of Your History, Do Your Research, and Stand For Positive Principles.
I Would Not Knowingly Stand With Any Person, Party, Or Color that desires to Continue to Enslave My People, My Children, Or My Opportunities.
I Do Not Wear A Red Or Blue Shirt, But Rather Stand with Yeshua.
Yeshua Loves Them Both.
Those Who Claim To Know Yeshua Or Jesus Christ, Whether a Red Or Blue, Should Have Fruits, Signs Or Areas in Their Lives Where You Can See It.
Lip-Service Is No Longer Enough.
If You Stand With Yeshua, Your Policies, Laws, Methods Of Governance, and Conducting Business, Should Clearly Display This Truth.
I Ask What Principles Will Determine How Your Voice Is Heard?
Sincerely,
A Concerned Citizen
