Will you vote in November

Politics was once an honored profession of high calling by those of strong principles and courage whose interest in being elected to these positions of public trust was to serve the people and make sure their generation left a better world for the next one.
They were for the most part of faith, integrity, commitment, practicality and common sense who viewed high political office as a term of service and not a Lifetime Career.
It is heart breaking that nowadays politics has become not a calling but a game. Gaining public office is now achieved by the most photogenic, eloquently spoken, those who look good on Television and that can raise the most money. We tend to pay more attention to the messenger than to the message. Usually the one that can lie with the straighest face.
Many times policy is achieved by backroom deals and sellouts. The lobbyist and powerful promising perks to make it look like Congressmen and Senators are making choices in the best interest of the people. Seems they have forgotten about "by the people, for the people, of the people" and it has turned into, buy the people, fool the people and rob the people.

Okay, I'm not taking sides, let me assure you that I'm talking about Democrats and Republicans. After all it was the Republicans who started this national debt spiral, and the Democrats have just taken it to a new high.

The system was not designed for career politicians, but rather citizen politicians who would serve a couple of terms and let someone fresh off the street serve, someone who was acquainted with what's going on now.
The Media discourages a lot of honorable people from going into politics. If you're not a member of the party the media supports they come after you with both barrels blazing, examining your whole life with a microscope trying to find anything to discredit you and undermine your campaign.
There's a dirty little club in Washington and state capitols around this country, a club whose membership fees are to toe the line and be willing to sell out your soul for a place at the table of greed. With the exception of a handful of good men and women who actually keep the faith in this pack of wolves and want what's best for the people.

So, will you research who you are voting for this election season?Will you vote at all? It's time We the People make a stand and CHOOSE who represents us. See you at the polls.
