I don't know, I wasn't always this way -- I've become political because I homeschool. Why is that you ask? Well, I have an oldest dear son who questions things -- EVERYthing. He has a strong sense of fairness (what first born doesn't?). He loves the L-rd and sees the Bible as truth because that is how I have raised him. He sees that justice comes from the L-rd. He understands politics from an everyday stand point and we discuss issues. He watched as homeschoolers in our town, changed a local city law to benefit life for everyone. He sees that the world can be a better place if they would choose G-d over selfishness and that is why someday he will make a great politician but even more importantly, he will make a great leader. I am involved in politics because my son is the future of this country; he is the change this world needs but that change starts with my adult input and involvement. He can't change the injustice being in a cocoon so we get out and try to understand the world. We get out and help those in need. We get out and help campaigns. He goes to TeenPact each year and not only knows but he KNOWS who our representatives are and they KNOW him and by proximity to my son I know them as well. At such a tender age, he is already making an impact and has his own viewpoints on the candidates that he would vote for, if he could.
Like many people in America, I too was torn with our presidential decision. I didn't think either choice was good for our nation but that is when my wonderfully wise and political son reminded me that the issues must be weighed by G-d's standards and no other. I don't see where either candidate can FIX our world as we know it, but I do see a mighty G-d who can. I don't see where "the change" either candidate is promoting can be done without a heart change in America but I have a Savior who can change hearts. I don't think that the future of our country rests in the election of a presidential man but I do know that if we elect a Sovereign King as L-rd over our lives that our future is not in jeopardy.
So even though I STRONGLY believe that your vote is a private decision and should not and does not have to be shared or discussed with anyone, I am voting for McCain and Palin. But I am also looking very closely at our congressional representatives and my local officials because in reality my decisions, my vote, and my choice starts right where I live.
