Cowboy Up: Vote Like You Mean It in November

PREACH IT:

We are challenged to answer again the momentous questions our Founders raised when they launched mankind's noblest experiment in human freedom. They made a fundamental choice and changed history for the better. Now it's our high calling to make that choice: between managed scarcity, or solid growth ... between living in dependency on government handouts, or taking responsibility for our lives ... between confiscating the earnings of some and spreading them around, or securing everyone's right to the rewards of their work ... between bureaucratic central government, or self-government ... between the European social welfare state or the American idea of free market democracy.

What kind of nation do we wish to be? What kind of society will we hand down to our children and future generations? In the coming watershed election, the nature of this unique and exceptional land is at stake. We will choose one of two different paths. And once we make that choice, there's no going back.

This is not the kind of election I would prefer. But it was forced on us by the leaders of our government.

Read the whole thing.

As I've said before, I don't LIKE politics. I would prefer to be left alone to live my life in peace (to bake cookies, watch movies, and search for the perfect pair of cute spring sandals). But the current political class won't leave me alone. So who's going to be surprised when I -- and plenty of other angry voters -- push back? Calling me all kinds of nasty names is not going to stop me from thinking, speaking, and voting as I please.

Read this too.
