A simple message for all people who plan to vote against
President Obama simply because he said that the government (specifically
Congress) should not have authority over a woman's body (paraphrased) and same
sex marriages should be recognized. The
president gave his personal views. I'd
like to pose a question to you. Are you
basing your decision on what is in the Bible - the most accepted Word of God -
concerning abortion? I think God has His
opinion of how He views abortion. Does
He give us His point of view in the Bible?
If your answer to that question is 'Yes', please tell me where in the
Bible that is stated. I have searched
for that answer but I can find it nowhere - NOT A SINGLE PASSAGE. I am certain that God does have an opinion
but I am equally certain that He will reckon with those who have abortions on
case by case bases. Personally, I could
never see myself having an abortion but I would not impose my feelings in that
regard upon another woman. But more than
that I cannot see that it should be the federal or state government who decides
what I, and you, choose to do with our bodies.
If you say that it is murder of an unborn fetus then that also should be
between the woman making that decision and her conscience since she will have
to live that particular deed. If you say
it is because of the gay rights - same sex marriage issue. If you ever found yourself in a gay
relationship would you want to be treated different than I am in a heterosexual
relationship? I think not. What if your son or daughter were in either
of those positions? Would you want them
condemned by the public as some sort of criminal? I think not.
Granted, I am not involved in a gay relationship and could never see
myself in one but I would not dare tell my child or even my neighbor that they
should be criminalized because they chose to have a same-sex partner, married
or otherwise. And I would hope that you
would not disparage my child simply because of whom they chose to partner
with. Is it because you believe what you
have heard about the Affordable Care Act -ObamaCare? The things that are covered under ObamaCare
are beneficial to me and my Medicare, your parents who need Medicare, your
child or some other child you know with a medical condition whose health care's
expenses may exceed what your insurance allows for and will then be a heavy
burden on your ability to otherwise provide for that child, your pre-existing
condition and can't get insurance to cover, the assistance you, or someone you
know who has lost their job because of deep recession we are now recovering
from, etc. ObamaCare protects Medicare
and it is beneficial in other ways as well.
Is it because you have not been able to gain employment? Well, under a Romney-Ryan White House you
will not have it any better. As we
venture on through this slow recovery of the economy things are getting
better. President Obama has a lot more
work to do to get this country back in shape but he is getting us there. Now, for my Black brothers and sisters. Are you dismayed that not enough has been
done for you, personally? Well, I wish
Barack Obama could have made me a millionaire.
But that fact is not reality. Mr.
Obama was elected to be the President of the United States - all races, people,
and things. He was not elected to be the
president of Black America, solely. As I
see it, Barack H. Obama has been working for things beneficial for you, me, and
every other person who considers themselves a citizen of these United States of
America. So, please find yourself at
your precinct casting your vote on Tuesday, November 6, 2012. Vote like your
life depends on it. Vote because you
have a right to and you will never let anyone or anything takes that right away
from you. But by God Almighty do get to
that precinct and cast that vote. Vote
for Barack Obama. Vote for Mitt Romney
if you believe his flipping and flopping on important issues will get you what
you need. But I assure you that if you
choose the Romney-Ryan platform, you, and I, will find ourselves back in the
same conditions we are recovering from.
Vote for one of the other candidates on the ticket if you desire
to. But know that when you cast your
vote for that alternative candidate, it takes away from the candidate who
actually will win the election. It would
be nice if God, Himself, were 1 of the options that you have. But since God is not a candidate, why not
vote for the candidate who has the interest of all Americans on his mind - not
just the super richest of our citizens.
