Vote and be herd America

Day 3,108, 23:50 Published in USA USA by JohnKennedy

America, tomorrow is election day, the day where you will decide who represents you in congress. You choose the man you wish to speak for you, the man who will bring your voice to the halls of Washington. I am writing you know to tell you that I am running for congress, not just as a representative of The Black Sheep Party, but of the American people. Along with my party members, who are some of the best men I've ever had the pleasure to work with, I will do my best to respectfully utilize the great honor you bestow upon me.

For of those to whom much is given, much is required. And when at some future date the high court of history sits in judgment on each one of us--recording whether in our brief span of service we fulfilled our responsibilities to the state--our success or failure, in whatever office we may hold, will be measured by the answers to four questions:

First, were we truly men of courage--with the courage to stand up to one's enemies--and the courage to stand up, when necessary, to one's associates--the courage to resist public pressure, as well as private greed?

Secondly, were we truly men of judgment--with perceptive judgment of the future as well as the past--of our own mistakes as well as the mistakes of others--with enough wisdom to know that we did not know, and enough candor to admit it?

Third, were we truly men of integrity--men who never ran out on either the principles in which they believed or the people who believed in them--men who believed in us--men whom neither financial gain nor political ambition could ever divert from the fulfillment of our sacred trust?

Finally, were we truly men of dedication--with an honor mortgaged to no single individual or group, and compromised by no private obligation or aim, but devoted solely to serving the public good and the national interest.

My priority is the American people, and so I hope today you will stand with me and The Black Sheep party as we continue to listen to and fight for you.
