Every one of the candidates who graciously made the trip to Blairsville for this event or were represented, are married and are family men with at least one child, if not 3 or 4. Almost all are entrepreneurs who were drawn to politics for the purpose of regaining the freedoms Americans have lost over the last several generations to government overreach. We at FetchYourNews.com strongly encourage you to do your homework; to check the backgrounds and voting records of each of these candidates, even if it means calling or writing them, to make informed decisions. Compare their political platforms and accomplishments to each of the others; and to those of their Democrat counterparts.

These candidates all have businesses and lives outside of politics. They see politics as a tool rather than a lifestyle. They believe in the notion of a constitutional republic based on the rule of law; as opposed to the notion of a democracy based on majority rule. If you read our Declaration of Independence, American Constitution and Bill of Rights, you will not find the word democracy anywhere because our Founders knew that the end result of a democracy is chaos… not freedom. Without the rule of law, an iron clad rule of law that all Americans are subject to equally, America is toast.

Our government today, after decades, even generations, of constant bombardment and infiltration by fifth columnists and self-absorbed opportunists, seems to be about making people equal, which is impossible; as opposed to treating people equally. These Republican candidates seem to be cognizant of the horrible mistake in that way of thinking and, each in their own way, stand against it.

You decide who best can get the job done.
