What Has Happened?

Someone has to say something...
.
What has happened to us in S.C., in this area re: the runoff for the special election? A lot of people were energized and got together for the Charleston Tea Party meetings in 2009 and the ones who helped send Tim Scott to the House of Representatives. Weren't we excited when Tim Scott organized the meetings to bring all the Republican Candidates for President to the Charleston area separately so that we could view them individually and see what they really stood for? And we got out the vote to get people to vote in the Presidential election.

So, what has happened? We had 16 Republican candidates running for the House seat that was vacated by Tim Scott when he moved up to the Senate. Then, of all things we had a runoff between Mark Sanford and Curtis Bostic. Curtis Bostic is a serious Christian and has the moral ideals we all want to have in a candidate. The biggest thing is, I believe,that we could trust him. We know Mark Sanford's history- the affair but also lying to his office and the people he was supposed to be serving about where he was. He has admitted to his failures and said he was sorry, but can we trust him at this very important time? As  Christians, we forgive, but that doesn't necessarily mean that we trust again right away. I was very disappointed that Sanford won, but I was even more disappointed in the lack of enthusiasm behind the voting! I saw that only 10% of those eligible to vote, voted! This is still a critical time in our country, people, and we can't stop now. We cannot be complacent.

We need to see the big picture! Now we HAVE to back Sanford, whatever he has done, because we need a Republican in that seat from here. Maybe the Democrat can bring jobs, but will she? And she will vote on Party lines with Big business and the Unions..Don't let what DeMint, Scott, and others have done be in vain.This has been a Republican seat for a long time and we cannot let it go to a Democrat now. Our country is in real danger and we need all the help we can get. Our voices must be heard. We must get energized again. We need to go to the meetings, to help with whatever we can, and VOTE! Voting is our right and priviledge still. We cannot let our country be overrun by people that don't honor The Constitution. (The Democrats and 16 Republicans have shown us again how they don't honor our 2nd Amendment rights by voting for gun controls just today.)

Please do your part!
