Why We Vote
The Register Star has brought together a group of people from all over the Rock River Valley to serve on our Election 2008 Voters’ Panel. These men and women are Republicans, Democrats, Independents and Green party members. Some are high school students. Some are retired. And some fall in between those two age groups. They all share this: The upcoming election is important and voters do have voices. They’ll share them in this blog.

The “No value” pride

4 comments July 18th, 2008

What is the price tag that we Ameri cans would put on our self pride and national pride? Most of us wouldn’t sell either for any amount of money. Yet New Hampshire has not only decided to sell both but they’ve put a price tag on it. Lower gasoline prices and lower fuel oil prices are the modern day 20 pieces of silver that New Hampshire has settled on to sell their and our nations pride. Shame on you for even considering doing business with the Venezuelan anti American despot. I would rather walk than give Hugo Chavez any of my money that would allow him to continue his attacks on my country. Some things are more important than my personal comfort. Things like my country.
