Election Day is Tuesday. For me this is one of the most important elections I can ever remember. We are living in dark times and we need not forget that. I don't know who all of you plan to vote for, but I do ask for you to vote wisely by educating yourself on the people you are voting for. It amazes me how some of the same people who keep screwing the American people over keep getting voted in time and time again. I have been on a bit of war path with Christians who want to vote for people who are absolutely against Christian values. This week I asked one how they could vote for one the presidential candidates when he was completely for changing the laws on abortion, and not only change them but make them federally funded. I continued to tell this person how he wanted to make it legal for a third trimester abortion to go forward, partial birth abortion would absolutely be legal in the U.S. This one thing changed this persons mind. She was going to vote based on charisma and personality. It is imperative you know what your candidates stand for! Who are they really, go beyond what the television and biased media is telling you, search deeper, and pray daily about! The future of our children is in our hands and our country is on a slippery slope.
I found this today and wanted to share with you, maybe help you think about it!
WE OR THE POLITICIANS -STUPID OR WHAT? It makes you wonder ....... This email comes in three parts....Make sure you read all three parts!
Part 1 In just one year. Remember the election in 2006? Thought you might like to read the following: A little over one year ago: 1) Consumer confidence stood at a 2 1/2 year high; 2) Regular gasoline sold for $2.19 a gallon; 3) The unemployment rate was 4.5%. Since voting in a Democratic Congress in 2006 we have seen: 1) Consumer confidence plummet; 2) The cost of regular gasoline soar to over $4.10 a gallon; 3) Unemployment is up to 5% (a 10% increase); 4) American households have seen $2.3 trillion in equity value evaporate (stock and mutual fund losses); 5) Americans have seen their home equity drop by $1.2 trillion dollars; 6) 1% of American homes are in foreclosure. 7) Food prices skyrocketing over 30% in 1 year.
America voted for change in 2006, and we got it!
Remember it's Congress that makes law - not the President . He has to work with what's handed to him.
Quote of the Day .........'My friends, we live in the greatest nation in the history of the world. I hope you'll join with me as we try to change it.' -- Barack Obama
Part 2: Taxes...Whether Democrat or a Republican you will find these statistics enlightening and amazing. [size=http://www.taxfoundation.org/publications/show/151.HTML ]
Taxes under CLINTON -1999 Taxes under BUSH -2008
Single Earning Single Earning
30K - taxed- $ 8,400 & nbsp; 30K - taxed $ 4,500
50K - taxed $ 14,000 50K - taxed $ 12,500
75K - taxed $ 23,250 75K - taxed $ 18,750

75K - taxed $ 21,000 75K - taxed $ 18,750
125K - taxed $ 38,750 125K -taxed $ 31,250
Barack Obama promises to return to the higher tax rates if elected. It is amazing how many people that fall into the categories above think Bush is screwing them and Bill Clinton was the greatest President ever. If elected, Barack Obama has already promised that he will repeal the Bush tax cuts, and amazingly, a good portion of the people that fall into the categories above can't wait for it to happen. This is like the movie 'The Sting' with Paul Newman; you scam somebody out of some money and they don't even know what happened.
PART 3: You think the war in Iraq is costing us too much? Read this: We have been hammered with the propaganda that it is the Iraq war and the war on terror bankrupting us.
