Happy to choose for you if you don't vote

Please do not vote in the Tuesday primary because the candidate we want will have a better chance of winning.

We do not understand people who do not vote in the primaries. When you ask someone why they don't, you usually get a response like, "I do not want people to know what party I support."

If those people do not care who is on the ballot, we will choose who they get to vote for in November. We really like that.

Seriously though, fellow taxpayers, citizens and voters, it is very important you vote in this primary. You will be choosing between people who want to run your government for the next four years. There are many incumbents that need either re-election or replacement by somebody who stands with you on your values.

The waste of your taxes is at stake here. Your apathy will destroy America as we know it. Many candidates, weird organizations and parties count on your apathy, on the complacency of fools.

You must spend some time learning what these candidates stand for. It isn't just what they say, how they look or what their name is. Some have been elected to office only to stain it and end up in prison.

Tuesday's primary election gives you the chance to put people on the ballot in November and not all of them are qualified, (even if they say they are). Spend some time reading about the candidates.

Go online and Google a candidate's name. You will be surprised by some of their views. In this primary you or someone else will be choosing a presidential candidate, United States senators and representatives, state representative and county candidates. All of these people will affect your future life.

Jack- booted thugs will not knock on your door when they find out what party's ballot you asked for. We still live in a democratic country with our four freedoms still intact. The radical groups have already decided who they want in office. When you refuse to vote in the primaries, you give up one more piece of freedom.

Many candidates and groups are spending millions of dollars in this contest. It is very important to them -- and should be very important to you, too.

Vote Tuesday and participate in being a concerned American. If you do not vote, others will gladly do it for you.
