It’s time for election again. This time don’t forget what has been done to you and what are they doing now.

Ask yourself these questions or ask others to find out the answers. Be very careful with your choice. Do not let them kill you twice for people only die once.

What has this leader done so far?

Who is responsible for the retirement bankruptcy?

What have they done so far with your education and training needs, so that you can get a job to work for your family?

What have they done to provide for your general health and welfare?

Who are these leaders that have too many conflict of interest?

Who are those who hire for votes and not for the qualification of the applicants?

Who are these people that hire the same person who we all know brought the Retirement Fund to bankruptcy?

What benefit have you received since they sat in office?

Who keeps their promises?

Who hires their families and gives them a salary that they don’t deserve?

Who discriminate against the poor, the disabled, and those that don’t have enough education?

Who comes to your front door only on election day?

Who makes plans of work and follow their plan? I mean, who among these leaders from the time of seeking your vote present his plans and delivers it while in office? I wonder if they make a calendar of their work for us to see and know what and when are they doing their job? Would ever it happen?

Who among these leaders tells us what they have done so far? What bills have they introduced and for what reason?

Do not vote for a high-paying job only, because if you lose, then you end up being unemployed for four years or work for minimum wages. Vote for someone who will help you get trainings and education so that you can find a reasonable job so that you can provide for your families.

Choose those who listen and take complaints as an issue that need to be fixed and not a problem that will damage their reputation.

Choose for your children’s future, and not for yours only. Listen to your parents too, for they have experienced what you are experiencing now. The only difference is their experience is less stressful than yours. Trust your parents who trust the teaching of our lord Jesus Christ and savior.

Go to church on Sunday, so that God can bless you and your children. Listen to the Gospel and teach your children what the Gospel is telling you on Sunday.

God bless you all, biba manhoben!
