Some Have A Choice
Others, like me, who find themselves with a felonious record of long ago, are denied a political voice. Forget the facts that I hold a full time job, pay taxes, and raise a family. In an economy where qualified veterans cannot find decent work, I consider myself fortunate for sure, however, would my voice really matter?
To be quite honest, I really do not believe so. Therefore, the fact that I do not vote due to an ancient and poor decision resulting in a criminal record, matters little.
Furthermore, I believe that if truly benevolent men were leading our country, folks like me may be granted a second chance, now that variables in the equation of my life have changed. Now THAT'S true change. Not that Hope for Change crap that passes. Not that he didn't try.
Gordon Duff of Veterans Today
After reading that article, I am thankful that Patriots like Duff have been exercising their choice in such ways. In these matters , voices are of little import. I find the honor in such men of action to be commendable. The forked tongue of political devils and banker demons have long polluted the thoughts, minds, and hearts of Man. I welcome such change.
It certainly feels as if A Brave New World lay before us. One of Honesty and Integrity. One of Dignity and Honor. One of Truth, Justice, Respect and Brotherly Love.
If my voice DOES matter, then the Values mentioned above have my vote. Besides, as I learn to model myself as a man of action, if for no others sake than that of my son's, then I feel confident that I am at least ahead of those that see a corrupt system, yet still feel that their vote, their voice, somehow matters when men and women like Gordon Duff and Gwyneth Todd take oaths, and by their actions, keep their word.
My Actions Are Heard
As we move to clean up Washington, let us not forget those who have recovered from ill choice. If we truly seek change, let our actions bear witness. In this light, I have proven my ability to transform myself through action. When an American political system that proves its integrity exists, men like me will be forgiven of their sin and given their voice back. Until then, have fun at the polls! I got beats to make...
A taste of THAT to come in future posts.
