We have a critical election coming up next week. As a Nation we appear to be as divided as this country was in 1860. How history will remember this time will likely depend on our decisions in November. Who we elect will define the Soul of America. When you begin to make decisions for whom you will vote, consider who best answers the following questions as what kind of society we wish for America.

Option A |
Option B |

Should we
continue to be a society built on welcoming and facilitating legal immigrants
and people of all backgrounds? |

immigration of any type? |

a society that believes in protecting the weak, the sick and the elderly? |

a society that treats any kind of government protection as irresponsible
socialism unless it is for corporate beneficiaries? |
