Well, in two weeks it will all be over. At least, the campaigning and the voting. We might be re-counting votes for weeks after, but the campaign will be over.
That means you have only 13 days to volunteer your time to the Bush campaign. If I could, I would have an election party and invite people in to watch the returns. We could cheer or commiserate with each other. But, unfortunately, that's not in my future, at least this year. Maybe in four years.
But, just because I can't have a party, doesn't mean you can't. You can have a get out the vote party, you can invite people to who are undecided and during the party, explain why they should vote for Bush/Cheney. Show the Fahrenhype 9/11 or Stolen Honor tapes. There are several things you can do other that host a party. But, there to two things you can do. One is to talk to friends and relatives, and the second is to vote. And to be sure that your friends and relatives vote, too. This year, even more than in other years, every vote will be important.
You don't have to agree with everything President Bush has done, I certainly don't. I looked at the two candidates and finally based my choice on who I though had the honor, the character, and the moral fortitute to do what's right, not what's popular. I made my choice based on the man who's spent the last four years trying to protect our country, not the one who has campaigned on military service over 30 years ago, and spent the last twenty years in Congress cutting defense spending, and trying to raise our taxes every chance he got.
President Bush has made mistakes. But I believe they were made with the safety of America in mind. Not with a "global" test or made with the United Nations in mind. Americans have always led with their hearts and asked for very little in return. We've never conquered other nations to rule them. We ask only for an area to bury our dead. We usually leave a country in better shape than when we came in. How many other countries can say the same?
It's only 13 days away. If you haven't looked at the character of the men who want to be President, please do so honestly before you vote. You will know who deserves your support and your vote.
