My very dear friend, Luanne Zoller, posted this on election day.
It's time for all of us to set aside our egos and start thinking of what we can do to help our country.
Put this on FaceBook just now.......
Dear Friends,
This will be my last political post. I am really worried about the divisiveness of this election and how it seems to be affecting friendships. I am also very worried that some of my FB “friends” are considering voting for a candidate that is a polar opposite to everything I hold dear in my life.
I believe in Diplomacy as opposed to War. I believe in the United Nations. I believe in Defending this Nation. I believe in Peace on Earth and not bomb the crap out of everybody. I believe in honoring Diversity and Religious Freedom, for all citizens of this planet. I believe that Love Not Hate will heal the world.
I believe that the Administration prior to this one got us into this Economic Mess. I believe that it takes more than 4 years to get us out of it. I believe we are on the Right Track. I believe that the 2% should have to pay their fair share of taxes. I believe that the Economy is Improving. I believe that Wall Street, Corporations and Banks have ruined us. I believe in the Middle Class and the 98%. I don’t believe in Greed.
I believe in the Separation of Church and State. I believe in Human Rights and Civil Rights. I believe that as a Woman, I have the right to make my own medical decisions. I believe that I should have the Right to Marry the person I choose to marry and not have some politician or hateful bigot make that decision for me.
I believe in a God and I believe that God is a loving being that wants me to take care of the Sick, Elderly and Poor. I do believe there is a time and place for Hand Outs and I also believe in giving a Hands Up. I believe in Compassion.
I believe in a Strong Government which provides us with FEMA and I believe disasters of this scale require Federal Intervention and Assistance. I don’t believe that states should have to fend for themselves.
I believe in Your Right to Bear Arms but not your right to use an assault weapon on innocent children and citizens. I believe there are some sick people out there that need help but I also believe in removing these weapons.
And yes, I believe in Global Warming. And I believe in putting the Environment First so that later generations can enjoy this Spectacular Planet.
Please vote your Conscience.
