Today, there is much concern across the United States about whether this country can survive another four years of the current presidency. In 2008, the majority of the voters wanted a change as promised by candidate Obama. What changes we got! A bad economy, high unemployment, doubled gasoline prices, increases in federal expenses, socialized medicine, higher taxes and, most importantly, our constitutional freedoms are being eroded away by the changes that were promised.
It is the time for you to remember that the cornerstones of the United States are the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution. They are what made this country exceptional for more than seven generations. The politicians, whether in Washington, Indianapolis or in the local courthouses and city offices are but temporary. None of them have the right to disregard or change these documents. Simply put, these people are our employees and function only with the consent of the governed!
Think! Think about your kids. Will they have life as good as we have had? Think about your church. Can it survive another four years of anti-religious rules? Think about humanity. Will it continue with such disregard of human life? Think about our country. Will it last with huge government expenses and no one working to pay taxes to cover those expenses? Will the United States continue as a republic when our president refuses to abide by the oath he made stating that he will protect and defend and preserve the constitution?
This Election Day, Nov. 6, there will be many government positions available with many candidates asking to be elected to those offices. Whether it is for president, Senate, House of Representatives, governor or other state and local jobs, you must vote for the person you want to hire for that job. The same requirements for all are honesty, integrity and a belief in the constitution and the laws of nature and of nature’s God. Do vote wisely.

WOLFSIE: Writing on the walls
Sometimes when I am trying to think of an idea for my column, I just stare at the wall. That’s not a bad thing, because on the wall in my home office is a collection of special pieces of memorabi-lia that inspire me to write, reminding me of the talented people I have had the privilege to meet.
