To All Citizens that Voted: Thank You! You took the time to go out and make your voice heard. However, if you voted on a straight party or didn’t vet the candidates to your wants and needs as a Citizen, you should have stayed home. What I’m saying is if you really felt that Mr. Obama or Mr. Romney or Mr. Johnson was going to act reliably on your behalf or what you believe in, that is voting with your True Voice and that is what voting is all about! If you didn’t, you wasted your vote.
To All Citizens that didn’t Vote: If you didn’t vote because you didn’t want to compromise your values or agenda to a candidate you didn’t believe in, thank you for not voting! I respect that protest position. The Right to Vote is a CHOICE and not voting is one of those choices. If you didn’t vote because you’re lazy or “just don’t want to get involved”, then it’s time to be the Citizen that it is your duty to be; figure out what YOU want for your Country, do some intelligent research, Think for Yourself and get out and VOTE (obviously, we’re talking next time…)! Get off the couch, put down the Cheez-Puffs, turn off American Idol and get involved; with your community, with your State, with your Nation. Without you, the rest of us Citizens are carrying your load. Be responsible for you and your family’s future. Be a good example for your kids. Be a Citizen.
I voted for Gary Johnson for President. I had voted for Mr. Obama in 2008 and he was not getting my vote this year for many reasons I’ve put out here many times. Mr. Romney wasn’t getting my vote either because, frankly, on illegal wars, meddling in other countries’ matters, coddling corporations, tax philosophy or spending, he is no different than who got elected. Honestly, I felt that a vote for either of them was a wasted vote.
I voted for Gary Johnson because I want a third option that speaks and acts for me, the U.S. Citizen, that wants my Freedoms and Liberties as they were laid out in the Constitution, the Bill of Rights and the Declaration of Independence. I want smaller federal gov’t and a fiscally responsible, socially liberal state gov’t. I want to bring our military men and women home and defend our Country’s borders from the nefarious criminal element. I want all Citizens, no matter our differences, to respect each other and work together to attain these goals. No more divide and conquer! No more specialized programs based on race, culture, gender or sexual orientation. We are all together in this and we, as The People, can make this Country whatever we want it to be. Let’s all work towards that goal and, when we vote again, let’s ALL vote with our True Voice. Think for Yourself!
