God has afforded us the opportunity in this great nation for all of us to live our lives according to our own choosing.  Some use such opportunity to seek all that life may have for them while others choose to believe that life still owes them more than the hand that has been dealt to them. 

It is our great challenge during this election season to garner within ourselves such questions to find out where we really stand.  Unfortunately the political process is far from a perfect one because people are far less than perfect, but yet we still are left to choose which path to go down.   Will it be the path of forcing our neighbors to be responsible for our good or bad choices, or will every man and woman in america be afforded their God-given right to seek out the path of their own choosing?  Will every person be able to live out the American dream or will they be forced to pay for the ill-begotten dreams of others?   That is what this election season is about, the struggle for the heart of America and the hope to carry this dream to others who have yet to experience it.  

I hope you too will struggle to carry the torch and the light of freedom to others when you step into the voting booth come November.  However emotional it becomes, I hope that your emotions are well-driven by the forces of well-grounded reason and constitutional values–values that drive you to hope that others can be brought into the fold of freedom.
