Being free

Earlier this week I was sadden by the death of Elizabeth Edwards. She was a great women who worked for the interest of all Americans. She was a great progressive behind-the-scenes leader. She was the wife to a former presidential and vice presidential candidate, John Edwards. But most likely the best virtue about her was that she knew everything about being free. She faced great adversity in her life and that taught her the meaning of freedom and how to be humble. She knew that her husband cheating on her would make her a independent women who was free. She also accepted the truth in that situation. Being free means knowing the truth and as long as you know the truth you will be a free soul.

I would like to end this post with some inspiration for you: Lets all be like Elizabeth Edwards a free, truth knowing, lovable, humble, and behind the scenes leader.

Confessions

Yeap thats right I have 3 confessions for my readers:

1. I really LOVE Jesus!

2. I care for everyone I come in contact with and I wish them well!

3. I really like this girl but the problem is that she already has a man.

Something to get you through your week!

Encourage yourself at all times. Don't give up, in, nor out. When you feel like throwing in the towel and quitting DON'T! Because what you have been hoping, praying, and crying for is right around the corner! And always remember: Everything good that happened GOD did it! -Chadwick Smith

Midterms

Man this was a tough year for democrats. We lost control of the house of representatives and lost six democratic Senators. One reason why this happened was because only 4.7% of black people voted. Now come on people if you don't vote, you don't count. You can't have a voice, if what all you do is sit back and complain. I live in the state of GA and not one Democrat was voted in a statewide government position. Now this is a mess waiting to happen. That means that there are no checks and balances in place. If all three branches of the state government of Georgia are ruled by republicans then that means republicans can put any kind of law in place. So I am calling on all the people of GA to vote in 2012 to put some checks and balances in place so we can save the state of Georgia. And for the People of the United States, in 2012 we have a simple choice to make, to let republicans take full control of the govt. and let them defeat our President Obama who is moving us forward or to let them take us back 50 years in time . (the picture above is the democrat who got the most number of votes in GA., Ken Hodges who ran for attorney general)

Prop 8-Prop Hate

The biggest news of today was not Barack Obama's birthday, or the President of Iran's assassination attempt but the overturn of the ban on Prop 8 which restricted Gay people in California to be married. Right now I sit in a tizzy because i truly don't know where I should stand on this issue. I have always said that a gay partner should have the right to see the other in the hospital when they are dying. And I have always supported legislation that list gay discrimination as a hate crime. But my biblical up bringing tells me that marriage is strictly between a man and a woman. The bible also mentions that a whole town was destroyed because there were some gay men in the town. But that was the old testament and the new one says "to do unto others, as you would want to be done unto you" (I'm paraphrasing) so does that mean to give gay people the right to marry just like I can marry a women? Also gay people don't go to the polls and vote not to let straight people marry but straight people go to the polls and discriminate and vote not to let gay couples marry. But I do think i have one position on this issue. The judge who ruled the case said that the ban on gay marriage was unconstitutional, now that is true! Because in the 14th amendment it says that everyone should have the same liberty as others. So that does mean that gay marriage is legal by the Constitution. But by the Bible's standards its not "moral". But do remember one thing GOD IS A GOD OF LOVE. So if two men or two women love each other, then let it BE.

Igualdad, justicia y servicio.

If you don't know by know I'm a democrat. I believe in what we(the democratic party) stands for Equality, Justice, and Serving the people of America(this was not taken from the democratic part's website). I'm going to explain the three things we believe in today. First Equality we believe that Gay AMERICANS should have the same right as regular people to visit each other in the hospital when one of their partners are dying. We also believe that all men are created equal(taken from the constitution) because a rich man should not get a higher tax cut than a poor man. I don't even know if that terminology makes sense but republicans do. We also believe that just because a man is richer than other people that he should be treated different. We believe that justice should be served when a law allows racial profiling and discriminatory acts. We served justice to black people with the civil rights act and we are serving Justice for Latinos by boycotting the state of Arizona. We believe in justice when a teenager is shot and killed in Chicago just because a gun was placed in the wrong hands. That's why we want to perfect the 2nd amendment by changing it so a college students does not kill 23 people. Last but not least we stand for serving others by giving health care to those who can afford it or have been denied because of a pre-existing condition. We believe in serving others by following Jesus' true commandment by serving the least of those by helping elderly with medicare and helping the poor with welfare. We are the Democratic Party and we are going to win in 2010! :)
