Hartselle Enquirer

Dear Editor

Before you go vote Tuesday March 1 please take a look at your children and grandchildren, your parents and grandparents, and those of the CITIZENS of this nation who are around you. Consider for a moment “The Founding Self-Evident Truths” upon which the country was founded, “… that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness”. Notice our founders recognized GOD the CREATOR as the giver of or Liberties; not some fictional, evolutionary theory which tyrants, dictators and even “scientist” have used to assume power and limit the liberties of people and ethnic groups. Andrew Cuomo has stated and many among the ruling class believe that Washington, the political parties, the establishment elite gives us our Liberties. In other words they state man gives us our rights and that none are God given.

We have, or at least had, a constitutional Republic, unlike any other before or since because of the founder’s baseline recognition of where those right came from. Built on that recognition, a document was given us by men who acknowledge in their writings that slavery was an evil, it could not stand and it was incompatible with the written constitution. One can look at the writings of Madison, Henry, Adam, and others and see this.

I am Caucasian and my wife is not and we have two sons. I want them to have the same liberty and freedom we have had. Not what is determined by the dictates of man, but the liberty that is Creator given, for he is far more just. If we continue down the path of separation of ourselves from the Creator our founders were so dependent on and the failure to even allow conversation of the Creator in our schools and in our government we then are destined to accept mortal man’s dictates and selfish whims. If we continue down this path the future for all our children, grandchildren, parents and grandparents is not one of a shining city on a hill but rather one of retreat. It will be one where citizens of the United States become like Europe, with high unemployment and dependency on the state, rather than a free and independent people with inalienable rights.

Our founders gave of their wealth to gain independence and freedom. Many gave up their lives and lost all their wealth for liberty. What are we willing to do? What type of government do you want?

If you want a socialist government there is candidate for you who embraced Fidel Castro early on and believes the state should have the ultimate authority to take property, possessions, and redistribute it. You should for sure vote for Bernie Sanders.

If you believe an elected official should be allowed to set up their own private unsecure server where secret and confidential emails are compromised, who was the leader in charge who failed to protect an America Ambassador and who called those men liars who were trying to rescue Americans based on their own willingness to sacrifice their lives you have a candidate in Hillary Clinton.

If you want someone who talks a lot, says he can make a deal with anyone, who states, “I can change and be whatever I need to be” and who has made a fortune off the loss and misery brought to children and families who had to suffer through the environment brought about by parents who could not stay away from the casino and the trappings of it and who thinks Planned Parenthood is a good thing despite their selling baby parts and taking away the inalienable right of life of millions of unborn babies, you have a candidate. His name is Donald Trump.

If you want a man elected with support from the tea party and who then decided his real loyalty lies with Chuck Schumer, John McCain and Lindsey Graham, the establishment and the millions of illegals OVER the United States Citizens who are out of work and have had wages limited and frozen, whose notable piece of legislation was as a member of the “Gang of Eight” you have your candidate in Marco Rubio.

If you want someone who Successfully defended the Veterans of Foreign Wars and American Legion in their desire to continue to display a cross, and if you want someone who defended religious liberty and states’ rights cases before the Supreme Court winning 6 out of 9 cases and whose life history has been one of commitment to the constitution and the Liberty of the people you have a candidate in Ted Cruz.

If you want a status quo guy, one who will continue in the way of the establishment hierarchy of the Republican and Democrat Party you have your candidate in John Kasich.

Now the choice is yours. Please give it a lot of prayer. The future of America, our families and freedom are depending on it. The Creator never forces his will on us as he allows us choice. Please heed the admonition of our founder John Adam, “… our Constitution was made only for a moral and religious people. It is wholly inadequate to the governance of any other”.
