Our individual right to vote is a duty in this election!  We must be diligent in our collective efforts as democrats, republicans and independents to send a clear message to the Fundamentalist Religious Right Extremist Evangelical Charismatics – or FRREECs – that their agenda is not ours.

 

As Americans we must insist on our freedom OF religions, as well as our freedom FROM religions.  It is one of the privileges that we have been given in this country that sets us apart.  And now, with the infiltration of the Republican Party by the FRREECs over the past 30 years, the push to turn our democracy into a theocracy has achieved traction with Sarah Palin as their “Poster Girl”.

 

I was called to action to write a book about the TheoPalinists shortly after the announcement that she was chosen by John McCain to run as his vice president in their bid for the White House.  I describe in “TheoPalinism – The Face of Failed Extremism”, how these fanatics have sent a chill down my spine for years, but with this pick for a running mate I was staring at the new face of extremism!  They have finally weasled their way to the spotlight tucked behind the cloak of legitimacy of the old school republicans.  

 

Even though they will go down in defeat in a matter of days, the very fact that they have elevated one of “their own” to the highest national ticket should scare us sober!  And we have the power to convey our message to the FRREECs with a resounding “Thanks! But NO thanks!” by getting out and voting, no matter what inconvenience you may encounter.  

 

Every state has a different system, and some are definitely more user-friendly than others, but we cannot  -for any reason – allow ourselves to become complacent!  It is crucial that the FRREECs are not only defeated, but sent packing with our unmistakable message of rejection of their ideologies.
