Vote As Though Your Freedom Is At Stake - Because It Is

Today is the day.

Dr. Robert Owens has noted, the mid-term elections may well be the most important in our lifetime. America faces a crisis as profound as the Revolution and as divisive as the Civil War. Tthe time has come for peaceful citizens to let those who love Liberty use their guaranteed rights to write, speak, assemble, and vote to preserve what we've been given for our children and our grandchildren. And indeed, If American voters do not, with loud and clear voices, issue a commanding halt to the leftward slide on November 2nd, such a time is likely to never come again. It's November 2nd, or never.

James P. Gannon frames it similarly in his excellent piece at The American Spectator titled "The Tipping Point" in which he speaks of America having reached a Resistance movement, standing athwart the flow of Obama history, shouting, "STOP!" - we've reached an historical moment. If it was not clear during Obama's 2008 campaign (and he made deliberate efforts to obscure it) certainly in late 2010 it is clear where he wants to take the county -- toward a European-style socialism, a command economy, driven by an all-powerful central government, determined to redistribute wealth and remake America as a multicultural, secular humanist state.

And as Gannon goes on to point out, the election of November 2nd isn't about returning the Republican Party to power in Washington. It is about stepping back from this tipping point, this precipice that Obama and the Pelosi-Reid Congress have led us to. There is a pervasive sense that this is momentous. The alarm and the urgency that is felt by so many conservatives, independents, and even Democrats who feel they were duped in 2008, arises from the conviction that this may be a one-time chance to pull back from the edge. If American voters do not, with loud and clear voices, issue a commanding halt to the leftward slide next month, it may be too late in 2012 or beyond.

The take-home message is clear. Today is the day. Vote as if your freedom and the American way of life is at stake - because it is.
