Below is a letter from Dr.James Dobson.
I am forwarding this letter because I think in my mind it well represents my thinking as well.
But I say to you all regardless of what your political affiliation is please be honest with your self, and may all of us put aside our pride and selfish agenda. This is about the future of our country and where it is truly headed.
Whàt in the end after this election is best going to resemble our countries constitutional rights
as we have all lived in and been given from those servicemen, policemen, and elected leaders before us for over 244 years.
The question is what is fair and right for our children and their children? What does protect the greatest nation, other than Israel, ever created? That it continues to protect and serve( with fault and need of change) but GUARANTEES the best option for our constitutional future as a people?
Yes, we always need to work on our problems, but what happens if the last true stand of freedom doesn't exist in 10 years because it has no foundation.OUR CONSTITUTION WAS WRITTEN UNDER INSPIRATION of GOD BY THE PEOPLE AND FOR THE PEOPLE who had experienced great tyranny from their governments from all over the world. I greatly fear the idea of change for our country to fit the agenda of those behind the scenes manipulating for their personal power and gain, Because I do not see those running against our President having the back bone to not allow those backing them to implement their best interest into policy for their benefit.
Our president is not perfect but their is no doubt about what he is trying to accomplish.
He has done nothing but honor his platform by accomplishing his professed platform he was elected for.
I fear the unknown of the people behind those running for office who will do no different than what they have already done for years. Whatever works best for their current circumstances. THAT SCARES ME TO DEATH FOR MY CHILDREN AND GRANDCHILDREN.
In the end friends vote your heart not for a person's profesional ability to speak or articulate precisely with eloquence. Vote for the platform and all involved in that platform who will secure America's future and its over all best interest based on a CONSTITUTION THAT HAS WORKED FOR 244 YEARS, NOT WITHOUT FAULT OR PROBLEM, BUT GIVES US ALL THE OPPORTUNITY TO BECOME WHAT EVER WE STRIVE TO BE !!!!
This is how I feel about our election in November.
Dr. Dobson's Open Letter to All Christians Regarding the Upcoming Election
This will be my final letter to 800,000 people before Americans cast our ballots on November 3rd. It is a breathtaking moment in the history of the United States. Perhaps I will be permitted to repeat a brief comment I made in my August letter because of its relevance to today. Many political commentators have stated that this election is the most significant since 1864, when Abraham Lincoln vied for a second term against Democratic nominee, George McClellan. The future of our beloved nation hung in the balance that year. If Lincoln had lost, the Civil War would have ended precipitously and the wretched evils of slavery would have remained legal in the Confederate States, and perhaps even in the North. Had Lincoln been defeated, the Union would have been torn asunder. Thank God Mr. Lincoln won, even though it cost him his life!
Now we are approaching another presidential election that carries enormous implications for the stability of our democratic system of government. Indeed, Newt Gingrich said that what we are facing now might bring an end to civilization as we have known it. He may have been referring to a possible revolution. Regardless, I believe his grave concern for our nation is valid. For centuries, America has stood as a shining light for liberty and freedom in our nation and around the globe. If we abandon our founding core values, the world will suffer for it. The binary choice before us is that stark.
How will Americans, and how will you, decide who to vote for as our Chief Executive Officer? I have heard from dozens of friends and acquaintances in recent weeks who tell me they will base their decision solely on a candidate's rhetoric, tone, style, or likeability. Does that describe your thinking process?
Just now, as I was about to react to that idea, my wife, Shirley, brought in an email that she had received a few minutes before from a friend. It quoted an anonymous statement that gets to the heart of the issue, as follows:
"This is not a junior high or high school popularity/personality contest. I'm not voting for the person—I'm voting for the platform!
I'm voting for the Second Amendment. I'm voting for the next Supreme Court justice. I'm voting for the electoral college. I'm voting for the Republic in which we live. I'm voting for the police and law and order. I'm voting for the military and the veterans who fought and died for this country. I'm voting for the flag that is often missing from public events. I'm voting for the right to speak my opinion and not be censored for it. I'm voting for secure borders. I'm voting for the right to praise God without fear. I'm voting for every unborn soul that is at risk of being aborted. I'm voting for freedom and the American dream. I'm voting for good and against evil. I'm not just voting for one person.
I'm voting for the future of my country!"
I couldn't have said it better, although I want to add to the writer's list. I'm also voting for candidates who will exercise sound leadership internationally. I'm voting for those who will support Israel. I'm voting for those who will protect children from leftist curricula. I'm voting for the nation's fiscal integrity. I'm voting for parental rights. I'm voting for school choice and home education. I'm voting for freedom in the suburbs. I'm voting for Little Sisters of the Poor and other Christian organizations. I'm voting for racial unity. I am voting to support "In God we trust" and school prayer. I'm voting for freedom of conscience for physicians and other professionals. I am voting for marriage. I am voting for life in all its dimensions. I am voting against euthanasia and physician-assisted suicide. I'm voting for wisdom in handling the pandemic. I am voting for protection for the Church from oppressive politicians.
One final thought: With all respect, this election isn't about you. It certainly isn't about me. It is about our kids and grandkids. It is about those who are yet to come, if they are allowed to live. This vote has awesome implications for future generations and the nation we love. It is about our Constitution and the immutable, God-given rights it protects. It is about values, and truth, and greatness, and hope. That is why the notion of choosing a president based on frivolous personality characteristics is so unfortunate.
In summary, this election is for all the marbles . . . the Presidency, the House of Representatives, the Senate, and the Supreme Court. Together, they set the agenda for this country.
If you love America and don't want it to be "fundamentally transformed," it is time to do three things:
1. Pray like never before that God will spare this great nation from tyranny and oppression of religious liberty.
2. Volunteer to help your candidates.
3. Vote for the candidates who will best uphold your values and convictions.
Also, consider forwarding this letter to your friends, family, and others whom you might influence.
