Please Stop Voting Against a Candidate
- by Brian Lanham
DISCLAIMER: This is not a post about “Romney” or “Obama”. This is not a post for whom I am voting. This is simply a post to address an issue
that I cannot ignore any longer. This
two-party system that we have allowed to establish a foothold is killing this
country.
More than 2 Options
I was recently asked, “If you had to choose Romney or Obama who would you pick?” I replied “Non sequiter. The founders
of this nation ensured that I never have to pick from only two
candidates.” But somehow that is the way
this country’s citizens think.
I told someone last week that there are around 20 candidates
for president and she was genuinely surprised.
(There are actually 25 candidates.)
She had no idea there were that many and, even though she knew there are
more, she didn’t know any names beyond Romney and Obama. Well, I am going to try and educate people
like her on other options.
Vote for a
Candidate, not against another
Candidate
So this post is the first in a series with a little bit of
information about each candidate for president.
I implore you…I beg you, please do your civic duty and
conduct a little bit of investigation and research on your own to find the
right candidate for you.
Hey, if your candidate is Romney or Obama, that’s fine. As long as it’s an educated decision. But please…stop voting against a candidate. Start voting for a candidate.
A List of CandidatesAs I mentioned, I am going to write a little something about
each candidate and I’m going to go by alphabetical order by PARTY, then by
CANDIDATE LAST NAME so as to not show any bias.
P.S. – If you want to
know the candidate I selected I am happy to tell you.
