Gosh, Rene, I'm almost afraid to send this in.....because I do not intend to vote.  I agree with a lot (not all) of what you said in your post on today's site.   To exercise the right to vote or to exercise the right NOT to vote is a matter of individual conscious.  God is the ONLY one who sees the motive for our actions.  Personally, I see that it really has not made any difference which party is in office, the country continues to go in the same downward spiral.  I believe that the President is only a figurehead for the PTB who truly run this country.   Here is a quote I read in the book "Economic Solutions".  "In politics, nothing happens by accident. If it happens, you can bet it was planned that way."
Franklin D. Roosevelt
I read that book back in 1995 along with Gary Kah's "En Route to Global Occupation" and Donald McAlvaney's  "Toward a New World Order".  Before that I had never heard of the NWO.  But the books rang true.  It was as if I knew there was something wrong, but I didn't know what it was.  After reading these books, I knew.  That was the same year I was saved.   Do I love this country?  By all means, yes.  Do I believe that the people choose who will run this country?  No, I do not.  I believe the voting process in the last 2 or 3 elections has only been a way to pacify the populace and let them think they make a difference.  I believe the worst bondage belongs to people who "think" they have freedom when in fact they don't.

Rene, you are my sister in Christ and I look forward to meeting you in person soon!

Maranatha!
