I’m a Christian and an Independent when it comes to my political views, so I usually vote Republican since their platform is the most conservative and represents my values in 2024. Republicans didn’t used to be for the common people at one point, but that changed a couple presidents after JFK was assassinated when it seemed like the parties switched the platforms uniformly from one to the other on main issues suddenly with changes in the political, societal, and economic climates in what felt like a blink of an eye. America was going through a countywide depression and identity crises from what seemed like a golden era of Camelot with John F. Kennedy that had been so easily destroyed by three deaths with President Kennedy, his brother Robert, and Reverend Martin Luther King. Then war twisted everyone’s hearts again.

Whatever the reasons for those changes that began decades ago, in 2024 we ALL really need to KNOW what each candidate STANDS FOR AND AGAINST, not just from the media rhetoric that seems never-ending while lies are said as reality when they are NOT FACTS at all. We MUST NOT give into loud voices of disdain against ALL America has been defined by since the United States became FOR the people and BY the people as this Constitutional Democratic Republic and NOT just a Democracy alone since that doesn’t work because it marginalizes different groups of people that are NOT given equal representation. A Constitutional Democratic Republic is the ONLY type that allows people to be FREE by the Declaration of Independence and the Bill of Rights within the United States of America Constitution and added later too.

These documents don’t seem to be taught correctly in schools anymore, regardless of primary or university, and that means that the younger generations DON’T SEEM TO EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY SAY OR MEAN ANYMORE! If we don’t teach them the meaning of the entire governmental processes, their equal and necessary branches, and each of their purposes, then they will allow other government types that are lauded by groups that seem to BE SEEKING POWER over the people instead of being the servants to represent more of the people. While that is my opinion from having lived here through the last fifty years in America, I have seen PROOF of it with my own eyes and read enough about it to do a dissertation on the decline of America if I was the academic type instead of an intellectual that reads everything I can.

I wasn’t taught WHAT to think; I was taught how to LEARN to think by using the Scientific Method for not only sciences like archaeology but also for literature, history, social sciences, and even life itself when things didn’t make any sense. The issue I have seen unfold now is that FACTS are being replaced by ‘feelings’. There are FACTS that NEVER should be replaced since they are what make up HOW this world works, how humanity is supposed to maintain concepts instead of accepting things that are NOT beneficial to our endurance as a nation, and how governing must be about the people being treated lawfully, equally, and with rights that can’t be overrun by anyone in power for their own personal gain instead of for the good of the constituency. In other words, WE THE PEOPLE needs PROTECTED AGAIN!

If we don’t stop the ignorance being foisted upon the younger generations then we will see the END of this great nation that has stood the test of time over and over again, and it needs as much protecting as the people do, so we MUST STOP socialism, communism, totalitarianism, or any other –ism that the enemies of our FREEDOM want to use to divide people instead of maintaining the ‘Great American Melting Pot’ that this country was PROUD to be when I was a child and still now decades beyond. After doing Ancestry and finding out how I am connected to so many different places and cultures through marriage and birth from 1972 A.D (CE) back to one branch link to -3760 B.C. (BCE), this ideal planted itself within the core of my soul as being important to remember no matter what any group or government might claim:

WE ARE ALL RELATED IN SOME WAY INTO ‘THE GREAT AMERICAN MELTING POT’, AND WITH THE FREEDOM OUR FOUNDING FATHERS PROTECTED, WE EACH HAVE THE MANDATE TO KEEP THIS COUNTRY AWAY FROM ANY OTHER GOVERNMENT TYPE BY VOTING OUR FAITH AND VALUES THAT CAN STOP ANYONE FROM YANKING IT AWAY FROM US BEFORE THEY MAKE US BECOME SLAVES TO THEIR OWN PURPOSES. THAT IS AGAINST ALL OF THE ONES WHO HAVE SHED THEIR BLOOD IN THE WARS TO KEEP AMERICA “THE LAND OF THE FREE AND THE HOME OF THE BRAVE”, AND ALL THEIR BLOOD CALLS OUT FROM THEIR GRAVES TO REMIND US TO PROTECT WHAT THEY DIED FOR!

That might sound dramatic and a bit emotional, but since my father fought and bled in WWII and his brother died fighting in WWII I think I HAVE THE RIGHT to point this out and draw attention to what is at stake with this election! The percentage of proclaimed Evangelicals, Catholics, and other denominations of Christians say they are NOT planning to VOTE! HOW CAN THIS BE? Our Faith DEMANDS that we VOTE to protect our GOD-GIVEN RIGHTS that exist without our government, but still need to be upheld by it for us to LIVE OUR FAITH! If we don’t keep this Constitutional Democratic Republic then our FAITH will be targeted like any other kind of government ALWAYS stops any religion from remaining when they take power so people let them become their religion. HOW CAN CHRISTIANS ALLOW THIS!?!

We might not agree with any ‘Political Candidate’ on ALL of the issues, but as believers in Jesus Christ and His Word then we have to LIVE BY IT AND VOTE FOR IT! We are not exempt from politics. If we don’t use our RIGHT TO VOTE for our government leaders then we have NO RIGHT to complain about it or try to change it all after the fact. Don’t let the lies being told make you so upset that you can’t SEE THE TRUTH right in front of your eyes AND WITH YOUR WALLET! How can we keep up the house of God if we don’t have enough money to feed our families? THIS VOTE IS COMMON SENSE AND FAITH RELATED! Stop letting falsehoods keep you from following the ONLY course of action that will PROTECT ALL OF US! PLEASE VOTE YOUR FAITH AND CONSCIOUS! PLEASE!!!

“Father God of Creation, we come in the name of Jesus Christ, Your One and Only Son and our Savior, and ask that You will help us to see the ones we are to vote into office for the United States of America according to Your Will and to restore the United States of America to its Christian and Faith heritage while allowing all to be FREE with their beliefs as our representatives PROTECT OUR RIGHTS. We ask that You work in the hearts of ALL who want YOUR WILL TO BE DONE ON EARTH AS IT IS IN HEAVEN through our government’s choices to represent its people. Please help ALL who are YOURS to take this seriously and VOTE THEIR FAITH! Please help EVERYONE to NOT allow society or political pawns change their hearts from Your choices in this. In the Name of Jesus, we pray. Amen!”

PLEASE VOTE! My husband and I usually vote in person on Election Day, but medical situations arose so we had to do Absentee Ballots this time that we have already returned. Go to the GOP website, choose your district, and get the list of candidates that are for OUR CHRISTIAN VALUES, and print it out to VOTE! Also see what issues to VOTE AGAINST so you can help to END THIS ONGOING INVASION AND OVERTAKING OF AMERICAN RIGHTS AS U.S. CITIZENS! PLEASE!!! If you can’t do it alone, try to find someone you trust to help you get to the voting booth. I don’t claim to always be right, BUT THE BIBLE DOES, SO VOTE YOUR FAITH to keep it safe and Good News of the Gospel of Jesus Christ to be allowed to be preached all over America and the world! In Jesus’ Name, VOTE YOUR FAITH!!!
