Are the talk shows, news shows, and talking heads getting you down?
Well, we have to put up with it because it’s the manner we have chosen to get acquainted with the candidates. I admit it seems like a high price to pay. But think about the price we pay if the wrong candidate is chosen!

George Washington was against political parties, Thomas Jefferson was against electioneering, and James Madison had to fight hard to figure out a method to elect a President that would appeal to the 55 men who were in the Constitutional Convention. Now, we can hardly understand how the Electoral College even works.

But choosing the right person for the job of President should be “a piece of cake” for the American voter. Charlie Brown and Lucy give us their observation:

Lucy is writing something in chalk on the sidewalk. Charlie Brown notices and asks: “Why did you write ‘Charlie Brown is a blockhead’ on the sidewalk?”

Lucy says in answer: “Because I sincerely believe you are a blockhead! I have to write what I believe is true . . . It’s my moral responsibility!

Lucy leaves and Charlie Brown says to himself: “I admire her
integrity . . .”

Integrity might just be the most important character trait!
