Wake Up Call
With in these words are truth... we as a nation have lowered our standards by being so permissive, and have given up our faith in the good Lord.
Each and every one of the people on my mailing list can remember that our parents had given us more values than the children of today. We have let the kids down by allowing the laws to change for the sake of being the majority. We have put aside our better judgement in order to make others content... Please take to upcoming election very seriously and think before you mark the ballots
WOW, WHAT A WAKEUP

as you well know I have posted this in the Community Forum you also know that I'm not much on forwarding mail, but this is one of those things that everyone should think about before election time.
I'll not ask you to pass along, but you might think about it
