Today I had the amazing experience of attending a political rally for Mitt Romney. There was so much excitement in the crowd. People were chanting, some were singing, and there were countless acts of strangers becoming friends. There was a spirit of gratitude and cheerfulness within the crowd.
Romney talked about some great things. He mentioned the economy and employment. Of course everyone went wild.
All politics aside.
After the rally I was talking with the people I rode with and they brought up an interesting point. This election is probably the most important one of my life. I will be (hopefully) graduating college under this next president. I will be relying on him to open the job market back up. This next president is going to make or break my future.
Then, on the way home we saw a man on the side of the road with a sign that read,
"Embarrassed= Yes! Single father. Trying to save home. Anything will help. Looking for work. Thx."
Our next president, whomever that may be, has a big job in front of them. It doesn't matter what you believe, Liberal, Conservative, Left-Wing, or Right, the economy must be fixed. Not only for our future, but for those who are working right now.
I know how scary it is for the provider of my family to be out of a job. I could imagine the anguish that man with the sign must be feeling.
Our next president needs to be a man full of integrity. One that is going to work for me and for the man loosing his home. There's more than one future riding on this next election.
