I am an African-American male. I am also a conservative republican activist and I am very pleased with John McCain's pick for VP. Sarah Palin passes the “commander-in-chief test." Without life we have nothing. If one is not wiling to protect the life of our most vulnerable citizens one is not fit for the Presidency of the United States of America! Sarah Palin’s pro-life record, in the clearest of terms, shows that her personal beliefs match her public life. In other words Sarah’s walk matches her talk. I believe in order to be “great,” one must be “good,” willing to set aside his or her own interests, even to point of sacrificing their own life. If the African-American community is to live out the dream of Dr. Martin L. King, Jr., we must value the content of a person's moral character far above the color of their skin or our own personal gain. I believe African-Americans have much to gain in this election where so many issues are clearly biblical (abortion, taxpayer funding of abortion, traditional marriage, parental notification, abstinence and marriage education, embryonic stem cell research, human cloning, euthanasia, etc.) and in my opinion “non-negotiable.” I believe the “conservative agenda is the best agenda” for resolving the issues surrounding war, terrorism, judges, school choice, religious liberty, business freedom, health care, education, welfare, labor, housing, and retirement. I believe that it is critical that we support candidates that will publicly stand and fight for what they personally claim to believe. I believe it is time to take our biblical values to the voting booths and vote our values. As for "me and my household," we are voting for the McCain-Palin ticket.
