BE INFORMED!

Election Day is just around the corner---29 days!

If you are choosing to vote, it is vital that you are informed on the real issues our country is facing and the real views of each candidate. The media loves to stir up drama and falsify information for a more heated story. While this makes for great primetime television, it gives me a pounding headache trying to sort through the information. I found great relief in my research on each candidate after watching the Presidential Debate on the current economy and healthcare. I highly encourage you to watch this debate (ALONE) so that you can hear first hand about the plans each candidate has for our country and form your opinions in an educated and unbiased situation. You can find the full-length debate by clicking here.
