The Church does not tell people to vote for one candidate over another. The law of the United States is very clear about the separation of "Church & State." This law makes sense and I certainly do NOT want to tell anyone who to vote for in the coming election.
I do suggest that it is fair to ask candidates what ideas they support or do not support. So, I do have some suggestions about important questions to ask candidates running for public office.
For those running for U.S. SENATE & U.S. HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES: 1 Do you fully support the ADA (Americans with Disabilities Act)? Do you promise NOT to vote to weaken the ADA?
2 Do you fully support IDEA (Individuals with Disabilities Education Act)? Do you promise NOT to vote to weaken the IDEA?
3 Do you support ending the war in Afghanistan as quickly as possible to bring all our troops back home to their families?
For those running for GOVERNOR, STATE SENATOR, STATE REPRESENTATIVE:
1 Do you promise NOT to cut funding for SPECIAL EDUCATION PROGRAMS in our state?
2 Do you promise NOT to cut funding for MENTAL HEALTH PROGRAMS & SUBSTANCE ABUSE PROGRAMS in our state?
3 Do you promise to fully support programs to feed hungry people in our state, especially our children?
These are fair questions to ask anyone running for public office. We have a right to get honest and clear answers to these questions.
