RE: [TruthTalk] Constitutional Concerns

Sorry to have misinterpreted your post. Some of the reasons she thinks Bush is deficient have been posted on this newsgroup. Yes. We begin Yom Kippur this evening. It IS a celebration... once it's over. It's rather... cleansing and that's where the celebrity is. We follow the biblical pattern. We deny ourselves with a fast. We will go to Synagogue this evening (the Kol Nidre service combined with Shabbat) but I will not return for the Morning Service nor the concluding Neilah Service as the Day concludes. We will break fast as a family. Four days later will be the beginning of the Season of our Joy... the Feat of Tabernacles (Sukkot)! That's my favorite time of year. (One year I was able to celebrate it twice -- one lunar month apart -- because two groups were using different calendar renderings.)   -- slade   P.s.

Although I think a vote for a loser is a wasted vote, I respect Kay’s desire to do what is right.  I haven’t heard from her why she thinks voting for Bush is not right, but that’s fine, too. BTW, will you and Kay be celebrating (wrong word, I know) Yom Kippur? If so, how?

You cannot blame someone for obeying their God-given conscience by voting what is right. One person I work with said he was going to vote for the lesser of two evils... and that's exactly what he's going to vote for: EVIL. Granted a LESSER evil but evil nonetheless. Sometimes we believers must venture out on the path less traveled. You're telling Kay that she's foolish (perhaps not in those words but the message is loud and clear) for NOT voting for the lesser of two evils. If people would quit reacting in FEAR and vote according to righteousness, we would actually see a change in this country. Step out in righteousness so we CAN see some positive change. Please stop trying to change our worldview through this common fear tactic. It's time to say, "Get thee behind me, Satan."    -- slade -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of ShieldsFamily Sent: Thursday, 23 September, 2004 09.16 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Constitutional Concerns I still say that if you don’t vote for Bush and we end up with Kerry the ONUS is on YOU!!!

I know now the system is broken and corrupt. If I had known Floridians would have been so confused, I probably still would not have voted because I didn't know we were in such trouble. Since I've been in Florida the past 14 months, I think it's due to the heat and sun. :) It's my understanding that a vote for the CP party won't be wasted. There was a very good article on the site regarding wasting/wasted votes that made a lot of sense to me. I'm still working on whether I'm being buffaloed by it or not. The logic makes sense.   Kay -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]On Behalf Of ShieldsFamily Sent: Wednesday, 22 September, 2004 23.36 To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [TruthTalk] Constitutional Concerns   Kay, I’m so happy to hear that you are finally realizing how important your vote is to the future of our children and all of society.  If you had known how close the election was going to be last time in Florida, would you have voted for Bush then?  Do you realize it may be exactly that close again this year?  And do you realize that a vote for whoever the CP candidate is might as well be a vote for Mickey Mouse for all the good it will do?  Izzy
