What's on your Ballot? -by Mitchell Crane

By Mitchell Crane

As citizens of this great country, it is OUR responsibility to elect officials into office that will represent us and abide by the Constitution of the United States. Not just the office of the president, but all elected offices. It is easy to get swept away by all the hoopla the presidential campaign creates. Just remember, the leaders we vote into our local governments could be our leaders in the senate or presidency tomorrow. It is just as important, if not MORE important to do your due diligence and choose your local candidates not on party affiliation, but by their ability to stand by the Constitution. Voting by party affiliation should be considered HIGH TREASON! Glenn Beck put it best in a recent commentary...

The best advice I can give you is to stop thinking in terms of left and right and start thinking in terms of right and wrong. Demand the best leaders possible, and then demand the best out of them.

I have provided links to all the officials up for election in Michigan, and the proposals on the ballot. It is your civil responsibility to do your research before you vote! Voting all Republican or all Democrat is a CRIME! There are good candidates on all sides of the spectrum, including 3rd party options!!

2008 Official Michigan General Candidate Listing -- from www.michigan.gov
www.ballot.org -- This provides you with info you need to know about proposals.

In closing, I really encourage you to do your research. It is important now more than ever. America is at a crossroads, a tipping point, and if we don't take responsibility we could lost everything this country was founded on! If you forgot why it is so important to vote... read the Declaration of Independence, I swear it's a short read, but in their it lists the crimes that the Kingdom of Great Britain committed against us. The same crimes they committed against us, our OWN government is now committing against us.
