County Convention

Well on Saturday we had our Republican County Convention. Since I was heavily involved, it was a relief to see it go fairly smoothly and to have it over with. I was Secretary, on the Convention Committee, on the Rules Committee, and am the President of the YR club that provided all the food for the day.

Praise the Lord for my great sister who coordinated the YRs and actually did most of the work for the food. Everyone raved about how great lunch was, and we only ran out of mayo and diet pop.

I love the fact that we live in a country where we can disagree or agree with each other peacefully. Losers in elections don't worry about being assassinated. We can speak our minds in relative security. I love America!

In order to preserve these freedoms for the next generation, we must be involved in our political process. These freedoms will not continue on their own. There are people out there who want to define free speech as "freedom to speak as long as you agree with me." There are people who want to define any belief that excludes them as "hate speech." There are people who believe government should tell us what to do, or at least limit our options, from the time we are born until we are no longer "useful" to society...and then they don't think we should bother them anymore...literally.

I hope you are involved at some level in keeping American free. At the least, each one of us should be an informed voter, so we elect people who will work on our behalf to protect our freedoms.
