Election Day!!! - By Triniti

  Are we ready for tomorrow? Our country has gradually been getting worse and worse since it was created, just like our world. In my study of history I've decided that Franklin Delano Roosevelt was a major cause of the downfall. The enlargement of government that happened during his presidency was way too much for us. 

  This year, we must vote for someone to fix the problems that have been handed down since the late 1700's. Fix problems that have been caused in the past eight years. We can do this by voting. I, as a fifteen year old, can't vote. However, there are a few options for any given adult citizen to choose from. 
  We have the following:

• Mr. Donald Trump of the Republican Party
• Ms. Hillary Clinton of the Democratic Party
• Mr. Gary Johnson of the Libertarian Party
• Ms. Jill Stein of the Green Party
• Ms. Gloria la Riva of the Peace & Freedom Party

  I'm not here to sway any of your opinions. I just wanted to say that we, as American citizens, have a responsibility to vote, not like millions of people in 2008 who wanted "to vote for the first black president," but in realistic ways to actually benefit our country. We don't want to vote for Hillary, Jill, or Gloria because they're girls. Sorry...Not politically correct, I know. 

  We don't want to vote for the Peace & Freedom Party anyway. They are literally socialist feminists from California. They came about during the 1960's during the civil rights movement of that era. I was laughing as I read their website about how evil it is when people who make their own businesses and make money from them without sharing all that they have with everyone else. It's not actually funny, but THIS IS AMERICA!!! This group of socialist fanatics from my home state are running for president. 

  Hillary... We've discussed Gloria's party, but now we come to the Democrats. Hillary's party is evil. There used to be good democrats, the democrats of yesteryear are the republicans of today. Now, however, the democrats believe in abortion, gun control, and high taxes. I know zero people who have died mysteriously in the groups that I travel in. How many have mysteriously died after crossing the Clinton's? A lot. Do we want a MURDERER as our commander-in-chief? No. I'm sure that we do not. 

  The Green Party. I don't know much about this party, but I'm pretty sure that they are environmentalists. At least, I went on their website a few weeks ago while researching the Peace & Freedom Party, and just saw the recycling logo all over the place accentuated by "Vote For Stein 2016."

  I personally like the next party the best, but don't know anything about their candidate. I am a Libertarian. I first found that out in history class while writing an oral report on the 18-year-old vote in '72, and I really liked their stance on stuff, so I am an unregistered member of that party. They believe that people should have all rights, including the right to guns, as long as 

1.  You're not harming anyone else, and
2.  The government isn't paying for what you're doing.

  The last party I'll discuss is the Republican Party with Donald Trump. The Republicans are the best of the two largest parties. They believe in gun rights, are pro-life, and want to keep our families safe. This means that they give us way more freedoms than the democrats, but less than the libertarians. The nice thing this year about this party is that their candidate isn't a politician. 

  Politicians are shady liars. Donald Trump, while he is a sinner just like everyone else, is a legitimate businessman. He tells his fair share of lies, but he is not a politician. I think that a business approach to politics rather than the usual approach could help with the national debt and with reducing bureaucracy. Insane bureaucratic levels in the US are a major cause of businesses leaving this country and going elsewhere. If they continue to leave, we'll run out of American businesses in America. Trump plans to reduce bureaucracy to help keep them here.  

"Let every person be subject to the governing authorities. For there is no authority except from God, and those that exist have been instituted by God. Therefore whoever resists the authorities resists what God has appointed, and those who resist will incur judgment. For rulers are not a terror to good conduct, but to bad. Would you have no fear of the one who is in authority? Then do what is good, and you will receive his approval, for he is God's servant for your good. But if you do wrong, be afraid, for he does not bear the sword in vain. For he is the servant of God, an avenger who carries out God's wrath on the wrongdoer."

(Romans 13:1-4 ESV)

  God has put rulers in place for us. In this country we get to vote for those rulers, but God makes the final decisions. Are we going to allow people with no godly intentions and no wish to be productive to make the decisions in our country? Are we going to allow people to vote someone in that we really don't want, or are we going to go together tomorrow to fulfill our obligations as citizens and as Christians.

  So, in essence, our options are:

• Hillary: Evil, murdering, wrongly labled socialist
• Donald: Businessman with no political experience
• Gary: Libertarian who agrees with abortion, although that isn't a party wide stance
• Jill: Green Party Candidate
• Gloria: Open socialist

  Are you going to sit back and let people vote for socialism or something pointless, or are you going to try and vote for what you believe in? 

Let's try together to outvote the demo-lition of our country, by voting against demo-crats.

  Here are some patriotic songs that I love. In the midst of America in the 21st century, we need to remember the hardships that allowed us to have the America that we know and love.

  The Star Spangled Banner

  America the Beautiful

  Listen all the way through these songs. No one knows the later verses of our National Anthem, and I thought that it would be good to hear them.
  With America the Beautiful, I think that the last verse is very important in today's culture. Even in 1895 we had the problem of people not ruling this country as they should. 

  Thank you for reading, and please take an interest in the welfare of this beautiful country by voting for things that are actually important, not just race or gender. 

Sincerely, Triniti
