Have you heard that you have one more day to decide on your vote?

There is only one day left to go until election day and I am sure this year will really be a defining year. It will either be a year that America says "No more business as usual and No more big government," or it will be a year that voters tell the government we really like what you are doing. So here is how I would tell others to decide. Keep in mind I am neither Republican nor Democrat. I am an independant who leans towards Libertarian.

1. If you vote for some one because they want to change the way we do business in Washington or in your local government then you are voting for the wrong reason. Find out how they want to change things. Look for keywords like "transform" to be in their rhetoric because those types of words usually means to take what is and make it something different, not necessarily better. Find out what they stand for. Who did they align themselves with? If they are a career politician, find out how they voted in the past. Look for the candidate that truly represents what you want. You will be surprised in your findings 50% of the time.

2. Do you know what your voting for? Certain bills pop up on your voting ballot. Do you know what they are? Amendment 4 is a great example. This is something you need to know.
The amendment's impact on local government expenditures cannot be estimated precisely. Local governments will incur additional costs due to the requirement to conduct referenda in order to adopt comprehensive plans or amendments thereto. The amount of such costs depends upon the frequency, timing and method of the referenda, and includes the costs of ballot preparation, election administration, and associated expenses. The impact on state government expenditures will be insignificant.
The very first sentence scares me. This bill is a blank check to government. Do you hand blank checks to your kids or parents and not expect to know how much they want to spend? Know what you are voting for.

3. Did you like previous policies? The health care law and financial reform bill are just two of the laws we had stuffed down our throats even though the majority of Americans said "NO" according to every poll run, and that's a fact. Look it up. Policies don't write themselves and congress doesn't read them before voting on them. Most bills are stamped "sign before reading" and that's another fact. Look it up. So think about those policies that you aren't good with. Now how did those in your district and state vote for those policies? Then the decision will be clear.

4. If you actually read the previous three statements then this one will make sense. Don't vote for "R" and "D". It is stupid. They are equally as bad in a different way. It is not about parties. It is about preserving the republic "for which it [our flag, you know, the American one] stands". Vote for a democrat or republican simply because you are one is like voting for the homecoming queen simply because you are in the same clubs together. This isn't about popularity. It's about what good for America or your state, or your district, or your city or town. Obama won on a popularity contest. No one really listened to what he had to say. All they knew was "hope and change" were his monicker. They didn't bother to listen to his rhetoric on issues like "cap and trade" in which in his own words "energy prices would necessarily sky rocket" (2008). I don't believe that Obama will be in office after 2012 simply because Americans had to learn from their own mistakes. Voting for "r" and "d" is not the right way to vote.

The choice is yours America. I believe their is going to be a big shift in power tomorrow. I believe that America will not stand by any longer and allow government to take over anything else. I believe in the American way of getting the job done. I believe that we can end the government take over of the private sector. I believe we can win our country back and tell Washington who is boss on November 2. Please get out and vote for the right reasons.
