Elburn speaks letter one:
On the FIVE Program, Jessica Tarlov mentioned the comment from one of the “White Dudes for Harris” podcast. She repeated the words of a man who said, ‘that his daughter was less free than his mother’, regarding the Abortion issue that the Democrats are pushing onto our Country.
Does anyone else see the absurdity of his statement? If his mother chose ‘her freedom’ to kill her child, he would not be alive!!! Nor would his daughter!!!!
Her freedom to “choose”, would have ‘extinguished his life’, leaving a big hole in his family, his friends and acquaintances!!
Those who are alive and can read this, need to thank their birth mother (and father). BTW, also include thanks to the birth mother of Steve Jobs! She made her ‘choice’ to bring her child into our world. Her child was adopted. Now think of the contributions of this one life!
Next, think of your life without Apple or cell phones if she ‘chose to extinguish’ the life of Steve Jobs.
Finally, think of the millions of other lives that have been extinguished by abortion.
Choosing LIFE allows God’s Plan to enhance OUR life.
Choosing to extinguish one life diminishes thousands and even millions of lives!!!
Choosing abortion is choosing paganism. Christians need to think before voting for anyone who supports abortion!!

Elburn speaks letter 2:
To vote or not to vote? That is the question
As a Precinct Committeeman over the past several weeks, I have had the opportunity to speak with a number of people (voters) regarding their concerns about issues to be addressed in the upcoming elections.
One issue that pops up often (from Republicans) is that they just can’t bring themselves to vote for Donald Trump. They have very little trouble explaining why: He’s loathsome. He attacks people personally. He’s a name caller. He misrepresents. Etc., etc., etc. Their feelings cannot be denied or minimized because their feelings ARE theirs. And if we’re honest many of these accusations have a basis upon which they exist.
What results from this is that many of these people may not vote for either president OR down-ballot. They face the question: “To vote or not to vote”? So, what’s the solution to this dilemma? You have to dig a little deeper.
Believe it or not, 80-90% of most buying decisions are made on emotion and emotions are largely if not entirely synonymous with feelings. This brings up an interesting quandary. The quandary is that there are two issues at stake in making our decisions as to whom to vote for. There’s the emotional side and there’s the issues or policy side. On the feeling side we respond to “I don’t like”, or “I hate”, or he’s a this or that”, or some reason that makes us feel good or bad about our decisions. On the other hand, issues or policies deal mostly with outcomes; outcomes that affect not only us but our families, friends and nation as a whole; my taxes go up, food costs too much, there’s too much crime, our country is seriously threatened by other nations, etc., etc.
So, voters need to make what for many might be a very difficult decision; to vote with their own personal feelings which in the end will make them feel justified or satisfied, or to vote based upon the welfare of the nation, state or local community. Perhaps another, crasser, way to say it would be “what’s more important, my feelings or the welfare of the country?”
Any voter on the fence needs to give this serious consideration and then be willing to live with the accompanying consequences.
