From the website:
The abortion issue has been a controversial topic for decades that reaches to the core of every person in America. Often voters will even base their entire choice on this one topic alone, disregarding everything else the politician has to offer in the vain hope that their "chosen one" will be able to effect change on this issue.
We all like to think that our opinions matter, but so often there is no effective outlet for our beliefs to change lives. While most people have a definite opinion about abortion and take a stance as being either "Pro-Life" or "Pro-choice", very few have an opportunity to do more than voice their concern to their elected representative. The concerns that we voice to those around us don't seem to change the status-quo. Unless you are put into the position of having to make this decision in a setting that actually makes a difference, the debate does not affect anything.
Voting is such an integral part of the American identity. We vote on everything. We vote on things ranging from the best singer on American Idol to who the next leader of the free world will be. Wouldn't it be nice to voice your opinion and have it actually make a difference in the real world? Why not vote on whether to continue or abort an actual pregnancy? Your vote can help a real couple to make a decision on this issue.
We would like to keep you informed on our pregnancy as if it was your own; posting our thoughts and feelings as we struggle to make this decision. We would like you to see what we see and feel what we feel. We invite you take this journey with us as we contemplate our own options and encourage you to utilize this site to vote and voice your opinion in a way that will have a real consequence… in a way that truly matters. Here, your vote will not go unheard."

"Skin In The Game"

Note: This post was an email sent to me from a friend. I did not create nor verify the content of it, however, it is interesting to read so I decided to post it on my blog.

“Skin In The Game”

Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama have gotten into considerable trouble
lately for embellishing their personal stories. In contrast, Senator John
McCain has demonstrated a remarkable degree of humility in recent speeches.
Rather than refusing to recognize his faults, he has owned up to them,
which is highly unusual for self-aggrandizing politicians in today’s media-
intense culture.

Far from suggesting that he is the “political messiah” we need with the
solutions to every problem, McCain acknowledges that he has been an
“imperfect public servant,” who has made mistakes. A Washington Times
reporter wrote, “Coming at the end of two terms from President Bush, who
almost never admits to an error in judgment or action, Mr. McCain’s public
introspection was startlingly frank.”

Some critics might be tempted to dismiss last week’s series of speeches as
just the political rhetoric of a candidate trying to “reinvent” himself for
the general election. I disagree. After winning the New Hampshire
primary, Senator McCain said:

“I learned long ago that serving only oneself is a petty and unsatisfying
ambition. But serve a cause greater than self-interest and you will know a
happiness far more sublime than the fleeting pleasure of fame and fortune.
For me that greater cause has always been my country, which I have served
imperfectly for many years, but have loved without any reservation every
day of my life.

I am grateful beyond expression for the prospect that I
might serve her a little while longer.”


Yesterday’s New York Times also explored another aspect of Senator McCain’s
humility. In a 2,700 word report, the Times delved into the service of
Lance Corporal Jimmy McCain, the senator’s 19 year-old son, who joined the
Marines at the age of 17, and recently returned from Iraq . (The senator
also has 21 year-old son, Jack McCain, who is attending the Naval Academy ,
and an older son, Doug, who was a Navy pilot.)

The love of God and Country is clearly a value cherished in the McCain
family, and the senator has steadfastly refused to exploit his son’s
service in Iraq as a political prop, even when it might be politically
expedient to do so. In my view, that speaks volumes about the senator’s
integrity and character, especially when he talks about the necessity of
victory in Iraq and when he refers to the evil of Islamofascism as “the
transcendent challenge of our time.”

Former Nebraska Senator Bob Kerrey, a Democrat, told the New York Times
that Senator McCain has, “... to use a gambler’s term, skin in the game.
It’s among the most important things that people want to know about John
McCain in trying to decide whether or not to trust him.”

Over the weekend, one of Barack Obama’s supporters, liberal talk show host
Ed Schultz, called Senator McCain a “warmonger.” Liberals never learn.
The Left said the same thing about Ronald Reagan. Whether it was the
Soviets in Reagan’s day or radical Iranian Holocaust deniers today, the
Left always assumes the worst about America and hopes for the best when
dealing with our enemies.

Thankfully, the American people have demonstrated more commonsense when it
comes to choosing a president to answer that 3:00 AM phone call. Americans
tend to trust the man with “skin in the game,” who knows what he believes
and who has confidence in our country.

I believe Hillary Clinton and Barack Obama will become yet another sad
footnote in American history by joining the long list of defeatist
Democrats rejected at the ballot box – Hubert Humphery, George McGovern,
Jimmy Carter, Walter Mondale, Michael Dukakis and John Kerry.

Bill & Hillary’s Tax Returns

The Clintons sure have done well under the American capitalist system they
love to bash in their populist speeches. Their newly released tax returns
show that the dynamic duo brought in $109 million from 2000 to 2007. Not
too shabby at all! By any reasonable standard, that makes them rich, and
as we know from the campaign speeches of John Edwards, Nancy Pelosi and Ted
Kennedy – the rich in America are the problem.

I’m being sarcastic, of course. But it never ceases to amaze me how much
hypocrisy there is on the political Left. I remember how badly the Left
bashed Ronald Reagan after he made a few bucks when he left the White
House. But compared to the Clinton money machine, Reagan was in the minor
leagues.

Hillary and Bill are promising us that if we send them back to the White
House, they will raise taxes on the “rich.” Unfortunately, they don’t
define that word as only those who made $109 million in seven years. No,
when the taxes go up, a whole lot of Americans will discover that the class
warriors of Washington , D.C. , are very inclusive when it comes to “soaking
the rich.”

Huckabee Should Be Required To Give Speech On Religion


It seems that all candidates for President should be either under the necessity of spelling out their specific religious beliefs or that those beliefs should be taken completely off the table.

Huckabee seems to be trying to dodge the bullet with the religion card, other than representing himself as a "pastor".

If he was true to his word, wouldn't he have followed Mitt Romney's speech with one of his own?

Exclusive Brody File Video: Huckabee says Romney’s Mormonism is Fair Game
"I expect it to be an issue as people evaluate whether they want me to be President. And I’m perfectly prepared to defend my faith in front of anyone, anytime, anyplace and under any circumstance. That’s fine. I not only accept it I in fact welcome it because frankly it gives me an opportunity to give witness to my faith so to be questioned on it is not something that would make me say’ well I don’t want to talk about that’. Sure, let’s talk about it.”, said Huckabee about religion.

As far as I can tell, Huckabee does have specific beliefs that, when proclaimed, put him in an uncomfortable position. I wonder what he would do if he were in Romney's position. Would he show such leadership? Would he be willing to give an actual speech about God in front of the Nation?

Huckabee bristles at creationism query
"Huckabee - who raised his hand at a debate last May when asked which candidates disbelieved the theory of evolution - asked this time why there is such a fascination with his beliefs."

"I believe God created the heavens and the Earth," he said at a news conference with Iowa pastors who murmured, "Amen."

"Huckabee, at a dinner in Des Moines, told reporters that the theory of intelligent design, whose proponents believe an intelligent cause is the best way to explain some complex and orderly features of the universe, should be taught in schools as one of many viewpoints."


Perhaps Huckabee may wish to spend some time studying Christianity and Mormonism so that he can, with facts, answer questions. Yes, "Mormonism" (as the religion is nicknamed) is Christian. The members are devoted to being Christian. The lives of "Mormons" revolve around their religion and being as much "Christ-like" as possible.

Huckabee Won't Say Mormonism Is "Legitimate" Christianity
"You know, Mormonism is a faith that people adhere to. And I think people ought to respect anybody's faith. I am not all that familiar with the intricate details. I have enough trouble keeping up with my own faith. So, I do not spend lots of time trying to evaluate somebody else's."-Huckabee

If Huckabee has such a hard time keeping up with his own faith, is he the Evangelical leader that he is trying to make the public believe he is? If he is a devout follower and pastor of his religion, wouldn't he be studying his religion on a regular basis. Maybe the people need to see this quote and ask Huckabee to be brave enough to give a speech of his own.

Huckabee Again Ponders Mormonism
"The article, to be published in Sunday's New York Times Magazine, says Huckabee asked the question after saying he believes Mormonism is a religion but doesn't know much about it. His rival Mitt Romney, the former Massachusetts governor, is a member of the Mormon church."

Again, wouldn't you want to know about your opponent?

HUCKABEE APOLOGIZES TO ROMNEY
"...Huckabee called Romney this morning to apologize for his comments to the New York Times Magazine, asking, "Don’t Mormons believe that Jesus and the Devil are brothers?”

Huckabee question about Mormonism provokes response from church

Obviously, Huckabee needs to do some major homework here. As stated above, he has no idea about the "Mormon" faith. If he is not willing to get to know this group of American voters and what they believe, do you think that he will want to get to know any other variety of people...of which America is full, as the melting pot of the world?

Huck’s Unholy Dance
"When Mitt Romney’s father ran for the presidency 40 years ago, his Mormonism was not an issue. When Mo Udall was a major challenger for the Democratic nomination in 1976, his religion was so irrelevant that today most people don’t even remember that Udall was a Mormon.

Five members of the Senate are Mormon. Are there any intimations that the Mormonism of Harry Reid, Orrin Hatch, Gordon Smith, Michael Crapo, or Robert Bennett corrupts, distorts or in any way diminishes their ability to perform their constitutional duties?"


This particular article creates a dialog that I wish my readers to give comments on. Should a person's religion be placed on the podium? Or, should the person's credentials, values, history, moral standards, etc. be put on the podium?

Additionally, shouldn't all candidates answer for their individual religious beliefs instead of one man is being singled out among them? Otherwise, isn't the playing field a bit unequal?

Have a great Friday night!

A Not-So-Serious Topic


Since yesterday's blog was very controversial, I decided to make today's easy to read, light, and humorous.

I have read all comments regarding yesterday's topic, the North American Union and the New World Order, and am working on a follow-up piece...which may actually be in more than one piece, due to the abundant resources available to research and report on. My main goal is to try to show that it is not a possibility. Thus far, all I am finding is proof that it is, in fact, in production and has been for quite some time. More on that in my next blog. Thank you to all who commented on my article on the networking sites and most especially directly here on my blog site. I appreciate your opinions and your feedback.

For tonight I'd like to tell you a tale. This is a fictional tale, but one that you may appreciate in these times of serious topics. I don't know the original source for this to give them credit because this was something that was forwarded to me after being forwarded to about five other people. Whoever wrote this...thank you.

"Recently, while going through an airport, during one of his many trips, President Bush encountered a man with long gray hair and beard, wearing a white robe and sandals, holding a staff.

President Bush went up to the man and said, "Has anyone told you that you look like Moses?" The man didn't answer. He just kept staring straight ahead.

The president said, "Moses!" in a loud voice. The man just stared ahead, never acknowledging the president.

The President Bush pulled a Secret Service agent aside and, pointing to the robed man, asked him, "Am I crazy or does that man not look like Moses to you?"

The Secret Service agent looked at the man and agreed.

"Well", said the president, "every time I say his name, he ignores me and stares straight ahead, refusing to speak. Watch!"

Again the president yelled, "Moses!" and again the man ignored him.

The Secret Service agent went up to the man in the white robe and whispered, "You look just like Moses. Are you Moses?"

The man leaned over and whispered back, "Shhhh! Yes, I am Moses...The last time I talked to a bush, I spent 40 years wandering in the desert and ended up leading my people to the only spot in the entire Middle East with no oil."



Have a great Thursday night!

North American Union? New World Order?...Questions Answered?



I was reading many articles today, as I usually do during my networking time. One article intrigued me. The subject has been a fascination of mine for quite some time, so I thought I'd share some of its information and expound a bit.

Choose for yourself whether you agree or disagree, but first follow the links and read the material. The links I provide are only the tip of the iceberg, so to speak. There is a lot more I could put into this blog tonight, however, I think that this should be enough to get you thinking about the puzzle.

August Review Article
"The global elite, through the direct operations of President George Bush and his Administration, are creating a North American Union that will combine Canada, Mexico and the U.S. into a superstate called the North American Union (NAU). The NAU is roughly patterned after the European Union (EU). There is no political or economic mandate for creating the NAU, and unofficial polls of a cross-section of Americans indicate that they are overwhelmingly against this end-run around national sovereignty."

You may be just going along, living your life, and look at this and think that there is no way that this could possibly be for real. Many people might prefer not to know many things that may be this serious in nature. If you read further, however, you may not completely disagree with the above mentioned case-scenario(although, it has been going on...as you will find from reading the complete August Review article...for a lot longer than the Bush administration).

"Modern day globalization was launched with the creation of the Trilateral Commission in 1973 by David Rockefeller and Zbigniew Brzezinski. Its membership consisted of just over 300 powerful elitists from North America, Europe and Japan. The clearly stated goal of the Trilateral Commission was to foster a "New International Economic Order" that would supplant the historical economic order."

So, you may want to know a little about the Trilateral Commission.

The link to the Trilateral Commission site is here.
Trilateral Commission
Email them to receive a complete list of their members.
They state that...
"To help preserve the Commission’s unofficial character, members who take up positions in their national administration give up Trilateral Commission membership. New members are chosen on a national basis. The procedures used for rotation off and for invitation of new members vary from national group to national group. Three chairmen (one from each region), deputy chairmen, and directors constitute the leadership of the Trilateral Commission, along with an Executive Committee including 36 other members."
...which would mean that there would not be someone "active" on the commission who is currently serving in our administration. That doesn't mean that they weren't active members before and won't be active members after.

Also, please click on their "recent activity".

Task Report # 58
"Much of my essay reflects an awareness of these differences and a corresponding effort to prescribe ways for the United States to realign itself with its major allies while still recognizing and pursuing its core interests. However, I also identify anti-Americanism as an "ism," like communism or fascism, that is gaining its own momentum as an ideology that radically oversimplifies a dichotomy between what America is presumed to be and what traditional culture, religion, and power structures are proclaimed to have been. This kind of anti-Americanism empowers populist demagogues in many societies and makes it increasingly difficult for governments that wish to work with the United States to do so. It is particularly dangerous in a world in which non-state actors can both complement and combat states."

Task Report # 57
"Let me start with three definitions, since we can confuse ourselves if we are not clear about what we are talking about: globalization, governance, and democracy. By "globalization" I mean simply interdependence at intercontinental distances, and that distinguishes it from regionalism or localism. Essentially, it's interdependence on a worldwide basis. By "governance" I mean the pattern of ways in which we manage our common affairs. Governments are a subset of governance, but they are not the only way we govern collective affairs. By "democracy" I mean a situation where leaders are accountable and ultimately removable by a majority of the people."

2002 Events: North American Regional Meeting of the Trilateral Commission
"Friday, November 1,3:00 pm
FUTURE NORTH AMERICAN INTEGRATION: THREE PERSPECTIVES
Chair: Allan Gotlieb
Panel:
Wendy Dobson, Professor and Director, Institute for International Business, Rotman School of Management, University of Toronto
Robert Pastor, Professor of International Relations and Vice President of International Affairs, American University
Luis Rubio, Director General, Center for Research on Development (CIDAC), Mexico City"

To me, reading through the meeting notes that are available for the Trilateral Commission sheds new light on the seriousness of this subject. What do you think about this information?

Now, back to the August Review article... Click Here

"May, 2005, in a paper titled "Building a North American Community" and subtitled "Report of the Independent Task Force on the Future of North America." Even the sub-title suggests that the "future of North America" is a fait accompli decided behind closed doors.

Some of the recommendations of the task force are:

"Adopt a common external tariff."
"Adopt a North American Approach to Regulation"
"Establish a common security perimeter by 2010."
"Establish a North American investment fund for infrastructure and human capital."
"Establish a permanent tribunal for North American dispute resolution."
"An annual North American Summit meeting" that would bring the heads-of-state together for the sake of public display of confidence.
"Establish minister-led working groups that will be required to report back within 90 days, and to meet regularly."
Create a "North American Advisory Council"
Create a "North American Inter-Parliamentary Group."16
Sound familiar? It should: Many of the recommendations are verbatim from Pastor's "modest" presentation to the Trilateral Commission mentioned above, or from his earlier book, Toward a North American Union."

Here is a link to that paper..
Building A North American Community
"The Task Force offers a detailed and ambitious set of proposals that build on the recommendations adopted by the three governments at the Texas summit of March 2005. The Task Force’s central recommendation is establishment by 2010 of a North American economic and security community, the boundaries of which would be defined by a common external tariff, and an outer security perimeter."

Interesting, huh? There really is such a paper.
Where is your opinion now? Are you thinking that maybe the idea isn't quite so "out there"?

Let's return to the August Review article... Click Here

"2006 SPP Summit in Cancun Shortly after the task force report was issued, the heads of all three countries did indeed meet together for a summit in Waco, Texas on March 23, 2005. The specific result of the summit was the creation of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America (SPPNA). The joint press release stated...

"We, the elected leaders of Canada, Mexico, and the United States, have met in Texas to announce the establishment of the Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America.

"We will establish working parties led by our ministers and secretaries that will consult with stakeholders in our respective countries. These working parties will respond to the priorities of our people and our businesses, and will set specific, measurable, and achievable goals. They will outline concrete steps that our governments can take to meet these goals, and set dates that will ensure the continuous achievement of results.

"Within 90 days, ministers will present their initial report after which, the working parties will submit six-monthly reports. Because the Partnership will be an ongoing process of cooperation, new items will be added to the work agenda by mutual agreement as circumstances warrant."

Here's a link to the SPP's Site.
Security and Prosperity Partnership of North America
I encourage you to read the information on the site to judge it's validity for yourself, however, here are some of the items listed in the Myth/Fact area of the site that I found of interest.

"Myth: The SPP is a movement to merge the United States, Mexico, and Canada into a North American Union and establish a common currency."

"Fact: The cooperative efforts under the SPP, which can be found in detail at www.spp.gov, seek to make the United States, Canada and Mexico open to legitimate trade and closed to terrorism and crime. It does not change our courts or legislative processes and respects the sovereignty of the United States, Mexico, and Canada. The SPP in no way, shape or form considers the creation of a European Union-like structure or a common currency. The SPP does not attempt to modify our sovereignty or currency or change the American system of government designed by our Founding Fathers."

"Myth: The U.S. Government, working though the SPP, has a secret plan to build a "NAFTA Super Highway."

"Fact: The U.S. government is not planning a NAFTA Super Highway. The U.S. government does not have the authority to designate any highway as a NAFTA Super Highway, nor has it sought such authority, nor is it planning to seek such authority. There are private and state level interests planning highway projects which they themselves describe as "NAFTA Corridors," but these are not Federally-driven initiatives, and they are not a part of the SPP."

Back to August Review again...
August Review
"Where from here?

"The stated target for full implementation of the North American Union is 2010.

"The Task Force proposes the creation by 2010 of a North American community to enhance security, prosperity, and opportunity. We propose a community based on the principle affirmed in the March 2005 Joint Statement of the three leaders that 'our security and prosperity are mutually dependent and complementary.' Its boundaries will be defined by a common external tariff and an outer security perimeter within which the movement of people, products, and capital will be legal, orderly, and safe. Its goal will be to guarantee a free, secure, just, and prosperous North America."

Don't underestimate the global elite's ability to meet their own deadlines!"

Review the deadlines in the "Task Force" paper. They are very determined to meet those deadlines and they will find ways to do so.

Here are some other organizations and information that are pertinent resources for this subject.

CIDAC "NAFTA: Lessons from Mexico to Central America"
World Trade Organization
GATT
BIS
IMF
CFR

There is so much more information that I could provide, however, unless you would like to leave comments with particular questions that I may respond to with exact information, I believe that this, along with the links I've provided, give enough for a basic understanding of what is formulating in the international community.

You must draw your own conclusions based on your own reality and based upon your own interpretation of this material.

What do you think about this subject? Do you think this is a conspiracy theory or reality? Don't you want to know which, if any, of the candidates for the 2008 elections have affiliated themselves with these proceedings, i.e., are, or were they ever, a member of the Trilateral Commission?

War Against the Republicans...A Reflection of America Today?


Lately, I've been reading many "articles" on the blog networking sites (Digg shown in examples) that have been obvious mud-slinging toward the Republican candidates and their party candidates.

Of course, this is to be expected from the mainstream media outlets, due to their general alignment with the democratic party. However, these articles are so obviously ridiculous, reflecting a lack of strength in character of both the media outlets that are participants in these biased attacks, the democrats backing those outlets, and the comments left on the networking sites where these are re-submitted.

A clear indication of Americans interested in bonding with these outlets/article producers is that of the vocabulary used in the comments following the article submissions, either directly on the main media sites or on the blog networking sites where they are increasingly being re-submitted for their controversial value and popularity rating. Comments from Americans, who should be proud of their country and care about its reputation, seem to begin with four letter words (I choose not to use in my vocabulary), include these same words in the content of their comment and end with these same profane words. Wouldn't someone who has pride in the outcome of their nation be more educated than to use such language? Wouldn't someone who desires to actually be heard regarding their comment actually articulate it in English that everyone should be able to relate to, instead of words that fill vacant space for no apparent reason except to be vulgar? Are these a real reflection of America today?

And what about those articles anyway? Allow me to show you a few and let you judge for yourself if they reflect what I am stating above.

Huckabee on AIDS, CBNnews.com...Click Here
DIGG SUBMIT...CLICK HERE
NEWSWEEK...SAME ISSUE...CLICK HERE
Of course they will pull something out of 1992 when we were not at all sure about AIDS. I am sure that he was NOT the only person who was worried about the issue at the time. This just happens to be a convenient time to pull that tidbit out of the archive. Does he still stand by his moral beliefs as a conservative Evangelical Christian? Of course. Why should he lie?

McCain Is Out Of Touch...Click Here
DIGG SUBMIT...CLICK HERE
USA TODAY...CLICK HERE
Obviously, in this report they are making a mockery of McCain, who has made regular effort to visit Iraq and keep aware of what is going on there. He has more clout with General Petraeus than some reporter. This report was obviously pointed directly at discrediting McCain.

MITT ROMNEY'S WINDY, WORTHLESS SPEECH...Click Here
DIGG SUBMIT...CLICK HERE
This "author" has obviously not done any homework on the "Mormon" religion, officially known as The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. Reading the review about his thoughts on the speech, I found myself laughing out loud! There have been so many critics of Romney and his religion...all of whom have not been educated fully on the details...but this guy...can you say NUT JOB!!!??? Read this one for a good laugh!

Guiliani...The World Trade Center Collapse...Click Here
DIGG SUBMIT...CLICK HERE
This is a conspiracy theory being brought out pointedly toward Guiliani at a convenient time. This conspiracy theory has been defunct many times over, so to have it brought up again and in pieces directed at Guiliani is pretty darn vindictive.

Ron Paul...CNBC took down the polls...Click Here
DIGG SUBMIT...CLICK HERE
Copy of Polls Before Pulled...Click Here
An interesting item to be noticed...that a network like CNBC would purposely remove the results of the polling from one of the candidates. Would that be considered legal? What would their agenda or end game be in doing such a thing?

Poll finds Republican field isn't touching U.S. voters...Click Here
This is a biased report about the weakness on the end of the Republican Party and the strength of the Democratic Party. MAJOR BIAS!!!

There are so many other articles and I know I have lacked to include all of the candidates, but isn't this representation enough of an example?

Judge for yourself.

Please feel free to leave your opinion. I'd love to know what my readers think.

Romney & "Mormonism", Take Your Own Time To Research Your Personal Concerns


Looking over other's sites regarding reviews of the Mitt Romney speech, I find very few positive reactions that are posted on the blog networking sites and the comments are full of ignorance (if I may be blunt).

Perhaps there are those who would assume that to remain ignorant as to the beliefs of another religion allows them the right to believe the "rumor-mill" that runs rampant, especially regarding religions who hold their faith sacred.

To change the minds of those who feel that need to retain their tunnel vision is a fruitless venture and a frustrating thought. There are so many beautiful and wonderful people in this world of every religion.

Perhaps a review of the speech would be worthy of my blog. I'd like to keep it here just for my benefit, if you don't mind. I thought it was well thought out, beautifully spoken, and emotional for Mr. Romney...you can see that his heart was into every word.

Initially, I'd like to provide the interview prior to the speech. I appreciated this as well.

Romney prior to speech


Here is the speech in full. I appreciate a news network willing to show the complete speech on their site.

Romney Speech on Religion


Now, for those who appreciate the speech in print, here is a copy of the transcript according to humanevents.com.

Romney Speech Transcript

The comments on the transcript site were very supportive, as they should have been. As I stated earlier, the stories regarding the speech that were submitted on the article networking sites, for the most part, were negative, anti-mormon related in either content or comments.

Everyone has their own opinion. However, if you read closely, most of those opinions that are educated will not have the negative connotations and exclaimations that the educated opinion commentator will have, unless they are filled with pure hatred for the religion or the people itself.

Draw your own conclusion. What do you think about the speech? Do you feel that every candidate should answer to their religious beliefs?
