There are times during any campaign a candidate is struck by
comments, words of advice, or actions of people. Today was such a moment for me
as I communicated with a man born in China.
The gentleman and I made a good connection discussing
several aspects of government. Then the comment came that I personally
understand and wish Americans could get embedded into the minds. He said
“Americans are so lucky to be able to vote for liberty”.
Campaigning over the last 4.5 years I meet many citizens
born in other parts of the world who understand the privilege and obligations
of voting, yet in our state only 8% of eligible voters participated in the
August 14, 2012 primary.
We get the kind of government we invest in; voting is an
obligation of citizenship to elect principled neighbors who will fiercely comply
with their oath to protect and defend our national and state
Constitutions. Non Americans get this
concept how about us Americans?
