Well, here we are just a little more than a week away from mid-term elections and I am becoming more and more frightened. I have seen the television ads and listened to the radio spots. I have read the newspaper ads and ones from the magazines. I have talked to family, friends, co-workers and strangers. My usual questions to them are, "what are your main concerns", and of course their concerns are as diverse as the people I have spoken to. The war, abortion, gay marriage, taxes, gas prices, education, and social security to list a few of the typical concerns. What baffles me isn't that in everyones list they, in almost all cases, name terrorism as one. What baffles me is where it falls in their list of priorities.                                                                                                       We are living in the most dangerous of times. We have rogue nations that are acquiring nuclear capabilities. Our border security is a joke. Mass transportation security isn't nearly what it should be since 9/11. Political correctness is keeping us from plugging a huge hole in the safety of this country and the people in it. I know the peoples rights to privacy etc. are important, they're important to me too, but so is being protected from another attack on American soil. There are people out there who are trying to kill us! They don't care if they die in the attempt. They don't care if they kill women or children or people of their own "faith". They hate us and they're coming to get us. What good are any of these rights we have if these people even partially succeed in what they're trying to do? What good are these rights going to be to people who live in or around a 30 square mile section of this country that gets hit with a weapon of mass destruction that leaves it uninhabitable for the next 50 years? No one person or political party has the end all answer but we have the power to put in place the people who are the most capable. We must put the security of this country above all other problems or we're going to wake up one morning and find out that those other problems no longer exist. So please, come election day, vote to keep us as protected as we can be. Vote to keep us at least moving in the right direction towards that goal, and pray that God continues to bless these United States of America.

Vote Republican
