Your Voting Knowledge is Needed NOW!

By The VMan

I would first like to thank Mike for allowing me the opportunity to say a few words that many of the voices in my head have been discussing. Mike’s been working very hard lately trying to get his font right. So, he asked me to write an article on an important subject.

And what I wish to discuss is the need to get started.  Started politically that is.  Several days ago Mike and I, while working, talked about one of our favorite subjects.  Conservative politics!  I mentioned to Mike that people weren’t paying attention yet to the upcoming elections.  I’m not necessarily talking about the November 2 election, but the elections that occur around the country before then.  It’s called primary elections.  Each state is different as to when they hold their primaries, so you will want to check to see the exact date of your state.  But as far as this article is concerned we will use the state of Nevada as an example.

Getting back to the discussion Mike and I had.  We decided to conduct a small experiment.  We asked several of our co-workers, who are conservatives, who they intended to vote for in the Nevada Republican primary for the US senate.  As it turned out the majority of these good conservatives couldn’t even say who was even running for the office.  What makes this scary is that the Nevada primary is scheduled for June 8, just 2 short months away.   This might not be such a big deal for everyone, but here in Nevada there are 5 republicans running to unseat Senator Harry Reid.

If a person is not informed and then enters the voting booth, how will they know which is the best candidate?  My worst vision would be for uninformed people voting someone into office who would be just as bad, or worse than Senator Reid.  As we know there are some who run for office as Republicans, but who once elected, are as bad as the person who they replaced.  Once these politicians are elected they will do everything to separate you from your freedoms.

So what do I advise?  Start getting involved.  Get to know who the candidates are.  I’ve become Facebook fans of almost all the candidates.  Most post their views and ideas on Facebook nearly daily.  Many also use Twitter.  Check out their websites and email them, and ask them questions.  You will soon learn which candidates meet your expectations.

Next, start asking other people questions.  Mike and I just asked a couple simple questions to people. One, are you a registered to vote?  And, which candidate do you like?  This in itself will get people thinking.  One person that I asked these questions to was questioning me the next day about candidates. As it turns out that night he and his wife began to discuss the issues. They are now on their way to be informed.

If you need more motivation, (as if this article wasn’t motivation enough).  Please view the following 5 minute video. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VP2p91dvm6M  This great American is running for congress in Florida.  So let’s get started conservatives and  vote a true conservatives into congress.  It can only happen by you.
