I am not the most politically minded, but I do feel like I
should know what I am going to be punching on my ballot in November before I
walk in the door to do so.
This year Brian had the opportunity to go to a political
breakfast, hosted by one of our candidates for senate, Jason Rapert. During
this event, Brian was given a lot of information, but one of the best was a
newspaper that showed every candidate for the house and senate seats. They had
given all the major issues that are most important to the people of America,
such as abortion, homeschooling, and marriage. All of this information came
from the Family Council. They give the web address, www.arkansasvotersguide.com, as a
means for getting more information on the candidates. I know that a lot of my
readers aren’t from Arkansas, but this might be a good place to start finding
information for your state and your candidate.
A quote from the Family Council says, “Bad politicians are
elected by good people who don’t vote.”, but I would go further and say that
bad politicians are elected by good people who don’t educate themselves before
they vote. November 6th is coming up and we don’t just need to be
praying about the election, but studying and researching the issues and
candidates that will be on the ballot.
