A NEW YEAR

As we have entered a new year, we have also entered to what is to be expected as the most costly campaign in history.

President Barack Obama is reported to gain nearly a billion dollars in his re-election campaign, and the Republicans, although will not be as impressive, will put in hundreds of millions as well. And this is all one for campaign. There will be countless other Senate races, every House race, Governor races, and state and local races as well. I think I speak for everyone when I say that I wish I had the sum of all money spent on the 2012 campaign.

Although money will be the major cost thought of in the 2012 campaign, I do not think it’s the most important or the most costly for our country.

The most costly aspect about this campaign will be what is at stake for this nation. Our future, our very lively hoods as free men will be up for a very high price this election. And it’s up to us to make sure that we take this very important time in our history to do what’s right.

So when November comes in this year, I will ask of you this: vote for principal. Do not vote for the lesser of two evils, but, rather, vote for a candidate that you truly believe in. Support a candidate that you support in its entirety—the candidate’s message, views, and principles. That’s my new year’s resolution: to vote for whomever my principles support, regardless of party or electability.
