» My Pledge of Support
I came home Saturday afternoon from the store to find a doorknob hanger informing me that I, too, could “Vote Early for (Candidate)!” Presumptuous, yes, but not as much as the bit on the bottom that said, “Text ‘Pledge’ to XXXXX for Your Support of (Candidate).”
Ahem.
I would like to take this time to apologize to every political campaign soliciting my “pledge of support.” I currently only have one pledge in place, allegiance to the flag of the United States of America (and to the republic for which is stands; one nation, under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.) I’ve repeated this at least three times in front of a commanding officer, twice in uniform.
So, ever notice how the Pledge of Allegiance doesn’t say “with freebies and handouts for all?” Discuss.

I’ve done my early voting, thank heavens. For early voting, you can go anywhere; wait until the day, and you’d better know EXACTLY where they have you pre-pigeon-holed to go. Last year I got shuffled about a bit and vowed to do the early stuff this time. Mission Accomplished.
As for the politicians, I happen to think they’re all crooks and liars - it comes down to picking the lesser evil. And yes, I agree with you - my real loyalty is to this country. THIS country, and it’s legal hard working citizens. I wish more politicians felt the same way. C’est la guerre.
