November 2 is really close. If you haven't voted ahead of time, make sure you vote. With all the radio and television ads, recorded telephone calls, mail and newspaper advertising, it is hard to know who to believe. Every candidate is either the only one who can save the country or is the cause of all the problems we have past, present and future. There are a few things to consider before you vote.
First, the Congress, Senate and House of Representatives, make the laws. The President can make recommendations as to what he wants, but it is the Congress which decides what legislation is voted on and becomes the law of the land. The President can only approve or disapprove of what the Congress dictates.
The economic problems we have today are the result of congressional legislation which started with the 2006 Congress. When Democrats took control of the of both houses, the Senate and House of Representatives, in 2006 and the economy started to falter in 2007 is not a coincidence. Neither is the fact that the economy is continuing in the the worst depression since the thirties. It is due to legislation passed by the Congress since 2007 which lead to the current economic disaster we are now experiencing. It is pure and simple. Our problems today are the responsibility of the Congress.
The financial difficulties we are experiencing in New Philadelphia, and Ohio, are not going to be solved at the local level. It is impossible for either the city or state to solve the current financial, economic, or employment problems on their own, no matter who is elected locally, unless there is a major change in representation in the United States Congress. The pronouncements of candidates for state and local office that they, no matter which political party, can bring jobs, economic growth, and prosperity to our area are nothing but political promises which are impossible to fulfil.
The only way out of the economic mess Ohio, Tuscarawas County, and New Philadelphia are trapped in is to change our representation in the House and Senate. The incumbents who are running for reelection should be held responsible for what they have done, not credited for their irresponsible actions which have all but destroyed our economy.
On the state and local level, forget the rhetoric which this year's election has brought about. Check the past history of the candidates, where they stand on the issues, if you can sort that out. The claims by both sides, the slurs, the thirty second ads, should all be held in question. The important criteria, the reality of honesty, experience, past history, and integrity of the candidates should be the deciding factors for your vote.
If you get a bad haircut, do you go back to the same barber? If the mechanic doesn't repair the breaks on your car after a number of tries, do you go back? If restaurant serves poorly cooked food, do you go back? Then why reelect someone to Congress who doesn't look out for your interests?
Check out the record of the candidate. What has he really done to make life better for you? If you are not better off than you were six years ago, put the blame where it belongs. Kick the incumbents out who provided you with a 14-trillion dollar national debt for this year alone and a total national debt of 54.7-trillion dollars.
You have one of two choices on November 2. Keep the same Senators and Representatives in the Congress who have ruined the economy and sold the country down the path to ruin, or replace them with new representatives who can effect a change.
Vote. Kick 'em out. Take your country back.
