Sometimes as I am reading the many political cards that have come in the mail or e-mail blasts sent out to many, I am aghast at the negative bashing that is going on among both the democratic and republican candidates. If I were in charge of what could and could not be sent out, I would say, Tell us what you are planning on doing specifically to make our America the best in the land. I know that I want our country to look a little bit more like our family's view toward budgeting and goal-setting and living within our means. Our credit cards are used for convenience, not for overspending. When we can't afford something, we wait and work to make our dream come true. So my vote this year is going to the candidates who are like minded AND the candidates who seem (looks are sometimes deceiving) as though they have the moral fiber to live up to their convictions.
Rob Portman is one of these candidates. I have studied his website about his job plan and spending philosophy, as well as his resume for the job position for U.S. Senator. I have gone out of my way to meet him and his wife and at least one of their sons. The family seems for real and I believe he is who he says he is, and that he will do all that he can to keep his promises and live up to his word. The privilege of voting is one of the beautiful things about our country. Please go out and vote, make informed choices and pray for our country.
