No Riots Please!

Hello,
There is a report that there will be increased police on duty election day and night for anticipated riots and trouble. Have we now become a third world country or a South American dictatorship. There was a time when Americans could disagree in patriotic unison. A time when America come first always. Now we are facing riots and who knows what all.

It is a fact that Obama told his supporters to go and get in the face of those who do not support him. It is a fact that Obama's picture was taken on a campaign stop with Kenya's strong man Odinga. It is a fact that Obama contributed money to Odinga campaign. It is also a fact that when Odinga lost the election by 200,000 votes he claimed voter fraud and sent the young people out to get in the faces of those who did not support Odinga. The end result was riots and the death of 1,000 people plus 100's of christian churches burned to the ground, one full of women and children. Odinga was awarded the Prime Ministers position for the efforts of his young followers.

We are being over run with voter fraud by many groups, especially the group Acorn. Acorn has made it no secret that they support Obama and will do anything to get him elected. How in the world can we know if this election, when its over, is legitimate and exercised with fairness and honesty?

This is the danger when people start thinking that a mortal man is border line divine. When they say he is the messiah and can do no wrong. His gift of oratory sways and swoons the populace into a mesmerized state that they can not shake off. They are trying to see the country through a fog of isolated political blindness called I am Obama.

If people could back away for a minute and look at this election with clear eyes and make a wise choice we would be the better for it. No matter who you decide on, it is each Americans right to freely make his choice. We may not agree with the results but we are still Americans and we must treat each other with respect. No riots please.

It is my right to have my say, it is my right to vote for whom ever I chose and it is my right to vote with conviction. And it is my right to vote with out fear of reprisals. Many, many people died to preserve this basic right and it should not be taken lightly.

Vote for who ever you decide to, but people should not be attacked just because they support someone else.

If you are of the number that is ready to cause trouble and riot in the streets if your man is not elected. May I make a modest suggestion, move to Kenya and embrace Odinga.

Those who preach tolerance seem to be in the need of a large dose of this word tolerance themselves.

May God bless America.
