Changing our form of government Have you heard the saying “I vote for the person, not the party”? The meaning is that it is more important to vote for a person with good character and values that are aligned with mine, than considering their political party. Once elected, the candidate is expected to represent their constituents rather than their party. One can debate this approach, but if the idea once had merit, it is no longer true. There was a time when there was room in each political party for diversity of thought and position. Liberal, middle of the road, and conservatives could be found in both political parties. With few exceptions, that is no longer the case, especially in the Democratic Party. Radical left Democrats have taken the party reins and are working to change our form of government. Rather than individual rights that are granted by our creator, and power reserved for the state governments, they want all rights to originate in Washington D.C. They are striving to replace our Constitution and its protections with a strong central omnipowerful government controlled by the Democratic Party.
