My father was a staunch Democrat all of his life. He was a blue-collar worker and believed in the importance of strong unions protecting the rights of workers. I guess most of our political beliefs are shaped by our parents. However, today's Democratic party bears no resemblance to the one my father supported. Their stand on abortion, homosexual rights and amnesty, leaves me no choice but to consider Republican candidates. And even then, I must be sure he or she is a Republican candidate who stands for conservative and traditional values - someone who calls for a balanced budget and promotes the security of my country.
When you vote in the up-coming local, state-wide and congressional elections, I ask you to consider carefully who you cast your vote for. Study the candidate's past voting record in regard to personal integrity, constitutionally-based and traditional family values. We can no longer afford to simply vote along party lines.
