I Implore You

I think that after tonight I am more energized about this election than ever. This isn’t an election about two men. This isn’t an election about two parties. This is an election about the future of our nation. President Obama and the Democrats have a fundamental idea that government will be the solution. They think that government can outperform the private sector. I do not. I believe that the private sector, small business , and the individual will always outperform government. Gov. Mitt Romney and Rep. Paul Ryan think that too.

Many people ask me why I care about these things. I’ll answer it plainly. I care because it affects me. Maybe not today, maybe not tomorrow, but the policies of this administration are going to affect all of us in the long term. As of now, 1 in 2 college graduates doesn’t have a job. 23 million Americans are out of work, the largest tax increases in history are coming in 2013, our nation is 16 trillion in debt (the most in debt country in the world), and the president says, “we tried our plan, and it worked”. Their plan has not worked, and my generation is going to foot the bill.

We are at a crossroads. We are faced with two paths for America. One path is the government approach. An approach which will leave us in debt and under a huge oppressive government, the path of the Democrats. The other path is the path of individual liberty. The path that has the audacity to think that people are better than government. Small business and American ingenuity will also win against big government, the Republican path.

I know I’m young to care, but the policies of this administration affect us, the youth of America. That is why on November 6th, I implore you to either vote or get people out to vote. In November, we need to elect someone who can help the individual succeed, not big government. On November 6th, I ask you to vote for Mitt Romney and Paul Ryan. Thank you.
