Mitt Romney for President
The kids and I went to a campaign rally for Butch Otter this morning. Mitt Romney was there and he spoke. It was so good. He talked about his going to Iraq and what the people want is the liberty to learn from other nations. He talked about all the threats that we are facing now and how grateful he is that we have a president who is facing them even though it is not "popular." He also talked about how important it is for us to get out and vote and to take a friend. Many races that were "in the bag" have been lost due to apathy.
It was neat to meet all the candidates. They all shook the kids' hands and squatted down to their level and took time to ask their names. We shook hands with Butch Otter, Jim Risch, Mitt Romney, Tom Luna, Steve Kimball, and some of their wives. Colin's favorite thing was meeting Tom Luna and shaking his hand. We had fun. The kids were great during the speeches, they were very quiet except when it was time to clap and then they clapped as loud as they could. Grace did sing "shave and a haircut, two bits" but it was only once and it was very quietly. We stood on the landing of the stairs in the back of the room during the speeches so we could see everyone and the stage really well.
Now that's socialization!

Why did Colin like Tom Luna the best? You've gotten into this election a ton, does Randy get into this as much as you do?
You inspire me! Now if our county would just acknowledge the fact that we've registered, I could follow in your footsteps.
Colin likes Tom Luna best because we talk a lot about Tom. We watched the debate between Tom Luna and Jana Jones together. Then we discussed whose plan follows Heavenly Father's plan and who's plan follows Satan. Satan was a very intelligent being and his idea of getting ALL of God's children back was a good idea, but the use of force instead of agency was not God's plan. We like Tom Luna because he has studied what is being done in other states to know what is working and he wants to give people choices in education. Jana wants to keep everything the same and continue to force people to go to whatever school their zip code tells them they have to go to reguardless of whether it meets their needs or not because she knows better than the parents.
Randy does not have the time to campaign or go to rallies, but he does care about the issues and we have a good time discussing who and what we should vote for.
DON'T FORGET TO VOTE!!!
