From Elise Patkotak:
From “Amid debris of our once-great nation, a vote is unveiled”
One of my parents’ cardinal rules was that the secrecy of the ballot box was sacred. It was what made America stand out. Politicians could not punish us for the way we voted because they had no right to know how we voted.
Since our current Occupier and his administration have made a mockery of that notion by politicizing everything they’ve touched, I’ve decided, after 20 years of writing a newspaper column, that it’s time for me to break the silence of my vote.
…
So here’s my vote. Obama, Begich and Berkowitz. Because they represent a new direction and a chance to right this ship of state before it sinks under the weight of socialism for the rich, pre-emptive wars and divisive hatemongering that sets neighbor against neighbor and destroys that which has made our country great — the belief that everyone has a right to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
