Do not go to sleep this coming November. This is a major election year for this country in more ways then one. The Republicans are trying to gain the majority vote and the Democratic are trying to hold on to it.
I am not here to tell you who to vote for but I am here to tell you who not to vote for. If you can see yourselves pass all the rhetoric from the news media, the 6 o'clock news, the "tea party", left wing, far right, moderates and conservatives, this country may have a chance. You have to take a stand for what is right in the form of your voting power.
Pray for our President, pray for the House and Senate, pray for the Governor of your state, the Mayor, and all elected officials. We the people elected them to do a job for all people in this country. Not some of the time, but all of the time. Those that are in charge of our day-to-day pocketbooks need prayer from our Heavenly Father. We go to the mountain top and ask for guidance and direction in time of need. The "Rock" is our strength and our hope in times like this.
In sixty-one years, I have never known a real depression of lose jobs, homes, and separation of families from each other until now. In the last couple of years, reality is real folks, stop being complacent. Poor people have always known "hard times", but by the grace of God through our grandmothers, great grandmothers, and great, great grandmothers praying on there knees we have always continue to move forward. We must continue the fight through voting for the right elected officials, if we are ever to continue to see change for our grandchildren and there children.
Change for better schools, equal schools, and up to date schoolbooks for all our children. Say what you want about Chancellor Rhea, but to find stockpiles of books in school basements is ridiculous. She is cleaning house and we need to do the same with those in power. Those who are in it for themselves, the Lobbyist, Pharmaceutical Firms, and etc. Take a stand and vote this November.
The church has gotten away from our grass roots of voter registration, being involved in politics when Dr. King was alive. It affects all of us.
