Today You Decide Our Future, Whether You Vote Or Not.

To vote or not to vote, that is the question.

A true Patriot of the United States of America takes our political voting process seriously. A Patriot does not step aside, allowing the votes of others to be heard and not their own. If you chose to not vote, you’re actually voting by default. Food for thought. Our “Founding Fathers” fought to obtain rights & freedoms for themselves and the generations thereafter. Please do not let their efforts go in vein by not voting today. If you have not already done so, I urge you to research the Candidates and vote in today’s General Election.

Vote for Candidates who actually live in your district (Ref.: Maryland Constitution) and who follow our laws. Do you want Politicians representing you that are willing to skirt laws or have already done so, in order to get what they want? Vote for the Candidates who want to and WILL work year round for their Constituents. The only reason why Maryland’s “Founding Fathers” did not work year round in their political positions is because it was too difficult to have done so during the 1700’s, primarily due to weather and travel issues. Do you want Politicians to earn between $40,000 + and upwards of hundreds of thousands of dollars of your tax money per year, while in return they are only willing to work for you three months of each year?

If the answers to the two previous questions are no, then TODAY vote for who YOU believe will be the best representative for yourself and your family no matter what party they are affiliated with. You do not need to vote for the Candidates that your political party wants you to vote for, don’t allow the political parties to bully you. Additionally if you do not believe the Candidates that are listed on the ballot are worthy, you do have the right and the option to write in a name of an individual or individuals who you believe would be best for the political position(s). Do what’s right for you, your family, your neighborhood, your District, your County, your State, your Country. Thank you for your time and effort.
