Calling early voters
Virgin Voter
EDWARD D. ANDREWS (AS, Zane State, Criminal Justice, BS and MDiv, Liberty Baptist Theological Seminary) is CEO and President of Bible Translation Magazine. He is a member of the Society of Biblical Literature and Associates for Biblical Research. He has authored eleven books and coauthored, updated, and expanded three books, as well as dozens of articles.
I had never voted before, because I believe my vote goes to Jesus Christ and his Kingdom. I had felt that we should be neutral to the earthly authorities, obeying the laws, and paying our taxes. However, I came to realize that the Apostle Peter expects us to pray for these secular authorities, so that we can peacefully share the Gospel message. If we can pray, then surely we can cast a vote for that very same reason.
My reason for voting this time is Barak Obama. I am a business owner, who had his business crash and burn over these last four years. However, I am also a Bible scholar as well, who holds a very conservative position when it comes to values, and the Word of God. I am voting to remove Obama, but also to replace him with a man, Mitt Romney, who has great family values, good business sense, and the strength to stand up to the rogue nations of the world, as well as radical Islam.
I have followed everything about Obama over these last four years, and he is a bit of a radical socialist, who was a community organizer, having occupied an office in the Senate, and was elected because he could read well from a prompter. He has favored countries that are not out for our best interests, and has sneered at those nations, who are supposed to be our allies. He has implemented a healthcare bill that is going to adversely affect us in more ways than I have space to explain. He has not used the stimulus money a he said he would. He has used big business to get votes and campaign money, and then demean them. He has used the Latino to get votes in 2008, and then do nothing for them, until it is time to be elected again. The same is true of every special interest group he has used. Sadly, these people are so blind to this, or simply choose to ignore it, they will vote for him with the same hopes again.
