“Let each citizen remember at the
moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment
to please an individual — or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he
is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is
accountable to God and his country.”
Samuel Adams, in the Boston Gazette, April
16, 1781
Privilege is often the blinding barrier to realizing
life’s greatest treasures. The world is jealous of the American’s right to say
who speaks for us and we don’t even notice. We can easily squander that right, to
not use it or worse, elect those who work to strip us of that freedom. Voting
is not just a right but something that deserves our greatest attentions
to detail. Ronald Reagan wisely said, “Freedom is never more than one generation
away from extinction”, and voting is one of the roads that leads’ us to either
the American dream, or a deceased America. The choice is always ours … until we
give it away or ignore it.
All voters are important but the informed voter is
the republics’ asset. Samuel Adams and the other founding fathers knew this and
warned often not to disregard this right. We need to heed the advice and always
elect others who respect all the foundations this country was found on. It is
the greatest reason why I respect and promote Dr. Ben Carson for president.
“I would love it if party labels were not allowed
on ballots and people were forced to actually know who they were voting for.
Blind loyalty to a party platform is tantamount to relinquishing the important
duties of intelligent voting.” Ben Carson with Candy Carson, One Nation
Each one of us needs to decide that we are
responsible for our country’s condition and use the vote we have to voice who
we believe speaks for us. The temptation is to think, “It’s only one vote so
what good does it do?” Mine alone does little but without it there is not "ours" that, collectively, is a
booming sound that cannot be disregarded. And when we agree on someone who
leaves no doubt that America is great because of our Constitution, Declaration
of Independence and other founding documents, it becomes a wave that washes
over and heals our land.
Let us voice real change; change that returns us to
the America that made us great, and tell people like Ben Carson he has our
vote and then use it.

"Always vote for principle,
though you may vote alone, and you may cherish the sweetest reflection that your
vote is never lost."
John Quincy Adams
