Election Day!

I went a bit "off the grid" over the past few days. A "girls weekend" came at the perfect time as the stress of these final days leading up to the election has been a bit overwhelming. No radio, a little online reading, some discussions with friends, but mostly quiet anxiety...and a prayer of hope for today. 

From the beloved conservative himself, Ronald Reagan:

"We are a nation that has a government -- not the other way around. And this makes us special among the nations of the Earth. Our government has no power except that granted it by the people. It is time to check and reverse the growth of government, which shows signs of having grown beyond the consent of the governed... 

"...We, the Americans of today, are ready to act worthy of ourselves, ready to do what must be done to ensure happiness and liberty for ourselves, our children, and our children's children. And as we renew ourselves here in our own land, we will be seen as having greater strength throughout the world. We will again be the exemplar of freedom and a beacon of hope for those who do not now have freedom."

It's as applicable today as it was in 1981. 

If you need a boost today, check this amazing video, which came via a Facebook friend. It's fabulous. It is a perfect example of why I am passionate about Conservatism.

And even if you don't share my passion for Conservatism, PLEASE still exercise your precious right to vote. VOTE VOTE VOTE!!

I'm flying my flag today and wearing red, white and blue. As Mitt said, we vote for love of country. And today I LOVE my country. I get to tell them what I want.
