2012Once or twice in a lifetime voters are afforded the opportunity to vote in an election that will determine the course of America's future and values.
November 6, 2012 will be one of those rare opportunities to vote and that you will tell your children and grandchildren about someday.
Election 2012 will permanently shape the course America takes for her future. The decision America makes on November 6 will determine what kind of America we will have for decades and generations to come.
The differences between the two candidates, their philosophies, style, and approaches to governance are starkly different.
We see this as your election. The President, congress, and government are your employees. They should be looking out for everything that is in your and America's best interest. For far too long career politicians have made countless empty promises and fabricated lies to enable them to be reelected. Many have lost sight of the fact that they were elected and sent to Washington and the 50 Houses of State to represent you and the people of your neighborhood, city, and state. You have a very important responsibility to voice your opinion as to the direction of America's future.
It is exhilarating to be on a winning team. America will awaken on November 7 with either a reelected President Barack Obama or, she will awaken to President elect Mitt Romney. Two questions for your consideration include: Who will you cast your vote for as our next president? and, Will America really win with the newly elected president?

How should I decide for whom to vote?
Prayerfully study Scripture and compare God's revealed will with the positions of both presidential candidates and other candidates down the ballot where you live and vote.
Should I vote my for the person in my particular political party? Seeking God's will for America through prayer and voting for the person God leads you to vote for is the best way to cast your ballot in 2012.
We encourage you to vote by prayerful principles not simply by party affiliation.
Finally, consider this: If it was up to you to cast the final deciding vote that would determine whether Barack Obama would be reelected or Mitt Romney would be elected President, which person would you vote for?
Your vote is vastly important. Pray, follow God's leadership, and make your vote count.
"If my people, who are called by my name, will humble themselves and pray and seek my face and turn from their wicked ways, then I will hear from heaven, and I will forgive their sin and will heal their land." II Chronicles 7:14
