LETTER: In support of our president
In just three months, it will be over. The presidential election, I mean. Not the end of the world. But maybe the end of our nation, as we have known it.
No, I will not be voting for Joe Biden. I am not voting for a man. I am not rallying for a personality. I am not pushing a person. At this point, I am voting for one thing and one thing only. I am voting for the principles for which this country has stood since its founding.
I am voting for constitutional government. I am voting for a strong and viable military. I am voting for a vibrant economy. I am voting for the right to keep and bear arms. I am voting for the freedom to worship. I am voting for a national recognition of the founding of our nation on biblical principles. I am voting for the ability for anyone to rise above their circumstances and become successful. I am voting for my children and grandchildren to be able to choose their own path in life, including how and where their children are educated. I am voting for our borders to be open to everyone who enters under our law and closed to everyone who would circumvent or ignore the law.
I am voting for the Electoral College to remain in place so that a few heavily populated liberal centers do not control the elections. I am voting for a Supreme Court that interprets the Constitution rather than rewrites it. I am voting to teach history, with all of its warts, not erase it or revise it.
Now, there are some things I am voting against. I am voting against open borders. I am voting against a rampant welfare system that enslaves its recipients. I am voting against socialism, in all of its forms, including health care, redistribution, reparations, economics, governmental control, pedophilia, and criminal releases, etc. I would rather pay for prison reform than see the criminals released to repeatedly commit the same crimes.
So, although I don’t give blanket approval to everything our president has done or said in the past, I do support him as our president. I am not voting against Biden, but I am voting against everything that the party backing him and propping him up stands for. It is not the Democratic Party of the past. Three months is all we have.
