Not satisfied with the Republic (RNC) or Democratic (DNC) list of candidates? You don’t have to accept the named candidate behind the D, R, I or other parties. It’s time to say enough is enough by leaving the boxes on the ballot empty. Use your power of the pen and “write in” your choice. If a large percentage of ballots start showing up as “write ins”, they well get the message. We want qualified candidates who will govern according to the constitution, lay out their policies, provide a resume of accomplishments and more. We, the citizens of the United States expect and deserve better.
We need to vet all candidates, not just by age requirements and citizenship but political history, education, background, accomplishments outside the political arena and most of all character. This must be done prior to registering for political office. If we keep electing individuals based on the lesser of two evils then we can only blame ourselves. Elections isn’t a game to be won or lost, it’s about putting someone in office who is capable and deserving.
Remember, the choice is yours; don’t be influenced by others.
