Critical To Vote November 5th

The ballot next month is huge, in both the quantity of the people running for election, five Constitutional Amendments and  Proposition A being put forth to the voters and the importance of this election cycle, which cannot be overstated.

America In Distress

Unless you have just emerged from a cave, you are aware that we are a very divided country. The disagreements are intense. The differences are very clear. Our County is in serious trouble!

Consult God Before Voting

We are not going to talk about the candidates; in a previous post, I suggested when voting for someone, please have a Bible in your hand, as a guidebook. This is not a ridiculous idea; our Founding Fathers would expect us to seek God’s will in any decisions about who to vote for!

Missouri Constitutional Amendments

Instead, let’s talk about the Constitutional Amendments. First, let me say that Amending the Constitution is a big deal and it should be. This is not to be taken lightly, and once enacted is very difficult to change. Most, if not all, of these proposed amendments could be put in place or rejected by the State Legislature, if our State Senators and Representatives had the necessary courage. Let’s discuss each Amendment in order:

No 2: Sports Betting

Constitutional Amendment No. 2: Have you watched any sporting events on television lately; if so, you have been subjected to a steady stream of advertisements for ‘Sports Betting.’ It was not that long ago when the words ‘Sports’ and ‘Gambling’ would not appear in the same sentence unless someone was being indicted by a court or disciplined by the particular league the defendant was associated with. Remember Pete Rose and the 1919 Chicago White Socks? Now we are being urged to allow ‘Sports Gambling’ in Missouri with the promise that millions of dollars, perhaps hundreds of million, will go to Missouri schools, which do rank in the lower 50% of the nation.

Same Argument As Lottery – Lies!

This is the same argument proponents used 50 plus years ago to convince the voters that Missouri needed a Lottery! Have your schools improved over the last 50 years? Have your property taxes reflected these millions coming from the Lottery to the schools? The answer to both questions is: NO. We are being lied to!

Gambling Addiction Destroys Families

However, the money is not the reason I am asking you to vote ‘No.’ The people, the families and the life’s ruined are my concern.  You probably know someone addicted to gambling. Gamblers Anonymous does not get a lot of press, but is an organization which helps addicts, gambling addicts, and their families to get their life back on track.

Gambling Is Evil

Gambling is evil and does not raise us to a higher moral standard. The Bible does not talk very much about gambling, but the 10th Commandment prohibits ‘covetousness,’ which is defined as “excessively and culpably desirous of that which belongs to another.” I do not know if the Lord considers all gambling sinful; but I am sure that He considers it sinful to ruin the life of family and others! Our goal here on earth should be to live holy lives; gambling is not holy and can only lead to problems!

Vote ‘NO’ on Amendment 2!

Abortions Without Restriction

Constitutional Amendment No. 3: This is the big one this election cycle! Amendment 3 seeks to enshrine abortion as a constitutional right in the State of Missouri, remove existing laws protecting the unborn, and fund abortion through taxpayers. Amendment 3 will also make abortions legal all nine months of the pregnancy and minors will be able to obtain an abortion without parental consent.

Abortions without restrictions, paid for by taxpayers and your children do not need your permission!

Abortion Is The Killing Of A Human Being

Unlike gambling, the Bible has a lot to say about the killing of human beings! It is wrong! It is sinful!

Missouri: Vote ‘NO’ on Amendment 3

Some states have already amended their constitutions to create a right to abortion and Missouri is one of ten states to vote on constitutional amendments to legalize abortions this coming November.

Missouri: Leaders Lead – Sheep Follow

I urge you Missouri, I beg you to stand up for the unborn, stand  up for life and show the whole country that Missourians are not sheep, but leaders. Stand up for goodness and holiness; this is pure evil!

Vote ‘NO’ on Amendment 3!

Constitutional Amendment No. 5: Seeks to allow one additional gambling boat license to operate on the portion of the Osage River from the Missouri River to the Bagnell Dam.

One more gambling boat is just as evil and does not raise our moral standings.

Vote ‘NO’ on Amendment 5!

Constitutional Amendment No. 6: Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to provide that the administration of justice shall include the levying of costs and fees to support salaries and benefits for certain current and former law enforcement personnel? State and local governmental entities estimate an unknown fiscal impact.

Unknown fiscal impact? Where is the State Legislature?

Vote ‘NO’ on Amendment 6!

Constitutional Amendment No. 7: Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to make the Constitution consistent with state law by only allowing citizens of the United States to vote; prohibit the ranking of candidates by limiting voters to a single vote per candidate or issue; and require the plurality winner of a political party primary to be the single candidate at a general election.

Voters Should Be U. S. Citizens Of Course

Research shows Missouri already requires voters to be citizens of the U. S. This sounds like this is another task for our state legislators! I do firmly believe our voters should be U. S. citizens! Maybe what we really need is a Constitutional Amendment requiring our elected representatives to do their job!

Vote ‘NO’ on Amendment 7!

Please Get Registered!
