Well, Election Day has arrived. By tomorrow morning we shall know who is to govern America for the next four years. For many Catholics and Protestants alike, this is a dreaded day. Too often we are seeing our freedom of religion violated by government laws. In the Declaration of Independance it states, "Congress shall make no law respecting an establishment of religion, or prohibiting the exercise thereof; or abridging the freedom of speech, or of the press; or of the right of the people peaceably to assemble, and to petition the Government for a redress of grievances." It appears that that paragraph has been pushed aside. We see priests being quieted by authorities for upholding Church teaching, people arrested for defending the unborn, and children prohibited from speaking of God in the schools.  What has happened that our society has taken such a drastic turn? The answer is simple - we tried to do it without God, the Maker of the universe. If we try to run a country without our Creator, Hell ensues. Many people believe that freedom means to be able to do whatever we want without consequences. In that frame of mind, anything can be justified. Killing the unborn is just another 'freedom'. If we want a country that reveres God, we need a president who respects life. I can honestly tell you that Obama does not respect life. Now, I'm not here to trash Obama. I'm here to tell you the truth. The Romney-Ryan team may indeed give hope to America. They can't save it (only God can), but we can hope that a greater respect for life will come about if Romney is elected. May God bless you.

Wow Chelsea! Did you write this? Cause it is really good! The turn out of the election was really dismaying! It can get very frustrating when such a mistake is made, and it almost leaves one without hope! However, I love your point that only God can save it all, what we can do is pray for these people that are denying basic human rights to large groups just because of their religion. Many people are so unaware of these issues and injustices, I think you are doing an amazing job is spreading the message! Keep it going girl!
