We find ourselves once again facing an election that will determine the direction elected officials will send the country in which we find ourselves contained. I can’t predict who will win this election, but I can predict who will most likely lose. It will be once again the American people.
Unless by some stretch of the imagination that a third party candidate should win the Presidency, the White House will be the home playground of another sexual predator, Republican or Democrat. I myself will once again vote my conscience and be prepared to watch as the fortunes of working Americans are wasted by the two major parties, both redistributing our hard earned dollars for their respective and reelection causes.
Should any other citizen reading this letter, maybe for once, decide to vote for principle there will be other options on the ballot. This year I will be casting my votes for Gary Johnson – President, Ted Dunlap – Governor, Rick Breckenridge – U.S. House, Roger Roots – Secretary of State – the Libertarian candidates.
I sincerely hope that should a tic of principle grab the voter at the polls, I hope that they will consider these principled candidates.
