This Saturday I'll be attending the delegates Republican convention at the South Towne Expo Center.
My choices are John Jacob (http://www.electjohnjacob.com/2.0/), Chris Cannon (http://www.chriscannon.com/), or Merrill Cook (http://www.merrillcookforcongress.com/).
I have perused all three men's web sites, and I'm planning on voting for John Jacob. He is conservative, God-fearing, pro-second amendment, pro-Ronald Reagan, pro-local government (as opposed to federal government) and gives sound, Founding-Father-based values. I like what I read.
As a thirty-something father in the thick of child rearing and career, it is very difficult to find, or make, the time to healthily and adequately involve myself in politics as I would like. I feel under-read and under-studied on the issues, but that is not from a lack of desire.
I care about the issues. I do care about what happens in my community and country. I want to make my voice heard, as opposed to being silently complacent while the passionately liberal minority makes the decisions. I do not want what I consider unhealthily aberrant or liberal views to dominate society.
Changing gears now....
As a fun note, Mark Cuban (owner of the Dallas Mavericks) has an insightful, entertaining, even hilarious blog: http://www.blogmaverick.com/. You'll get a kick out of it. Articles of interest:
"I'm a whiner" (http://www.blogmaverick.com/entry/1234000210073685) and
"How to Improve NBA Playoff Officiating" (http://www.blogmaverick.com/entry/1234000970073680).
Happy reading!
