I would like to remind people, we have not had a king since 1776, when the founding fathers of our country signed the Declaration Of Independence. When our country won its freedom during the Revolutionary War. Along with the legacy mainstream media and the far left, including some Democrats and Liberals who keep using the term Democracy. None of that is here in the states. The United States Of America is a Constitutional Republic, which uses the democratic process called voting to choose those to represent people at all levels. Everything from local elections, that includes class presidents, all the way up to the president of the United States. If we were still ruled by a monarchy, a lot of the freedoms we have would not exist! That includes the right to free speech, right to have peaceful protests and so many more that we would not have if we were still ruled by a monarchy. It is high time that people wake up and open their eyes to the facts of the real world. Not what their never can be educated feelings suggest. If there is something they do not like, make their voices heard by attending meetings, all the way from the city and Township levels, with their representatives and even writing to their congressmen/women. Along with when voting, making sure to do their research, so they are making an informed decision. When voting, do not go by ads, do your research! When someone new runs for office, find out more about them! Also for the ones in office, do your research and find out why they voted the way they have. As has been said by way to many, leave your emotions out of the voting process and make an informed decision. Remind all politicians, they work for us, not an agenda!
