I’d encourage you to do the same. I’d prefer that you actually knew a little about the candidates you are planning on casting your ballot for and what they stand for; But the great thing about our country is, is the fact that you have to know exactly nothing about any of it all and your vote counts just as much as mine.
In fact, you don’t even have to know their names if you do a straight party vote. I didn’t. Not because I knew all 15 or so judges on the list, but because I wanted to keep my word.
But I will vote again for Kenny Marchant. Though I’m not happy with the results of the vote, I am happy to report that voices were heard and spoken for. A major reason why we live in the greatest country in the world.
Now that the damage is done, I just hope the markets get what they wanted… a boost of confidence. In my opinion, that’s all the problem was in this situation. Everybody on Wall Street let their emotions get the best of them. The sad fact is that greedy people will always be greedy and we will see other issues arise similar to this one.
I just prefer to not have the government try and bail us out every time. Sometimes you have to pay the piper…
And if you care, the note from my representative Kenny Marchant: (more…)
No matter what side of the fence you sit on politically, I urge you to contact your Congressman TODAY and tell them firmly that their job will rest in their decision on the upcoming vote.
Last week I contacted both Senators for the state of Texas and my district’s Congressman and explained to them my thoughts on the measure. The message was heard and in an overwhelming upset the House of Representatives turned down the measure and did what they rarely do, be the true voice of the people.
From everything I have heard, greater than 95% of the people do not want this measure to pass. We don’t want another Trillion dollars to be added to our already insurmountable debt. The numbers of calls, letters and emails have swamped your representatives. So much so that their websites have been intermittent in service handling the load.
