THE BLOOD OF OUR CHILDREN By: Nathan Lowe

THE BLOOD OF OUR CHILDREN WILL BE ON OUR HANDS! 

We are on the verge of relinquishing the last vestiges of the freedom that was purchased at so dear a price more than 200 years ago. The cost of that freedom was the blood shed by those revolutionaries who stood up to the greatest nation in the world and said, "No more!". The price to regain that freedom will be no less, if we lose it, and our children will be the ones who pay the price if we are unwilling to take up mastery of our fate as a nation.

We have, through our choices in elections past and present, yielded our rights to individual freedom, liberty, and individual determination, one by one. There have been excuses or "reasons" that we have used to justify our choices but they are nothing more than apathy. We have chosen to place our sovereignty in the hands of other men. These men have then used it to rule over us. We have deceived ourselves into believing that men who crave power would be willing to protect our rights over their ability to wield power over us. 

We must reclaim our power. Those we have given it to will not return it willingly. We must vote for what is right, not easy. We must choose what is right, not easy. We must not allow our children to pay the price, we have set, to be free as we once were. We must accept responsibility for our own fate. We must stand for our rights. We must not trust that those in power will work in our best interest. For our best interest is to reclaim our power and they will not yield it by choice. Without the power we have yielded to them they have none and they once again become "men" instead of "rulers of men".

We are meant to be the masters of our own fate. so I am putting forward the cry.

STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!

We have been led to the gate. We must not walk beyond it for it will close and the gilding of the cage will be as dust once the door is locked behind us.

STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!

We must flee from our would be jailers. We must loose the shackles they have so artfully crafted.

STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!

We must not pass willingly into captivity. We are but a step away, and once the step is taken the only escape will be through pain, hardship, agony. We will be forced, like the wolf in the trap, to gnaw off our own leg for escape.

STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!
STAND UP, STAND UP FOR YOUR FREEDOM!

I will stand. I have taken my first step of defiance with this post. Save our children from the fate we have created for them. Do not let them pay the price for our sins. They are innocent in this and should not be expected to bleed in Gethsemane for our sins. We must claim this price for our own and insure the freedom of our children.

HOW TO PICK YOUR CANDIDATE By: Nathan Lowe

Many of you have, no doubt, wondered how you can possibly find the time to do the research needed to make an informed choice about the options that are before us for the next president of the United states. I have come up with a possible solution.

Your candidate must share your views in regards to how the country moves forward. So why not start there. Presidential policies fall into 3 general categories. Domestic: which deals with individuals and citizens who are living within our borders. Foreign: which deals with our interactions with other countries around the world. Economic: which deals with economic issues within the country.

Choose 3 policies for each of these categories that you would like to see changed or put in place. That is the hard part.

Now for the research. This is actually easier than you may think. Each candidate has a "to do list" for their stay in office. Just compare that "to do list" with your own. Score each candidate a point for each item in their "to do list" that matches yours. Give bonus points if you agree with how they would like to go about accomplishing their goals.

Some candidates may not be very clear or concise when describing their goals or approaches. In this case you will need to go to other sources for the information you need. I find that a simple Google search of "candidates name _________ policy" will do the trick after a few links.

I believe that using this method we can all educate ourselves enough to make an informed decision in an hour or two.

Thanks for indulging me and remember to vote your conscience. Happy hunting.

Nathan
