Good morning Col Burroughs and Posse on this Election Day. Everyone who has not voted yet, should go to the polls and vote. People died for our right to do so...it's been this way from the very beginning of our republic. All voices should be heard. Our government is run by the participants.

Lt Col Charlie Brown - Your message is "spot on" this morning Charlie... One of our necessary and important freedoms in this land we call America... Have a great day and let me leave you with thsi final thought on Election Day...
“This fine Tuesday and Election day is about our freedom to vote and our right to vote. If you voted in advance that is awesome and if you’re out today in lines to vote – good for you. May you have a respectful and positive attitude on this day in our democracy; may you go into the day with a clear mind body, and soul; and keep your family safe, secure, happy, healthy, and in the voting line until you’ve cast your selection. Proud to have served, proud to be free, proud to have the right to vote; proud of our flag; proud of our service members, proud of our veterans; and proud of our military service branches. As Lee Greenwood’s song ‘God Bless the USA’ states, let us live each day by these words…
And I'm proud to be an American
Where at least I know I'm free
And I won't forget the men who died
Who gave that right to me
And I'd gladly stand up next to you
And defend Her still today
'Cause there ain't no doubt
I love this land
God Bless the U.S.A.
I voted – have a great day everyone.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs

Good Morning Col Burroughs and Lt Col Charlie Brown, great post as always, I voted early and glad I did, I have made it a point to stay off FB as much as I can next few days, I’m sure it is going to be ugly on there even between friends, I would love people to be civil , but it will be interesting to see how this goes.

Peace in the Midst of the Storm - Shirley Caesar
Shirley Caesar
T expect you are sincerely grateful that the LORD elected YOU before time began to be HIS adopted child in the fullness of time for you. I hope you voted wisely today and that you will not become bitter if the results are not to your satisfaction, my sister-in-Christ Lt Col Charlie Brown.
I lift Washington, D.C.; New York City; Philadelphia, PA; Chicago, IL, Seattle, WA; Portland, Oregon; and other areas of this nation where local leaders have restricted police response to violence and BLM spokespeople and their allies have threatened violence if their chosen candidate does not win to YOU dear LORD. LORD let YOU cleansing light penetrate through the darkness. I pray that YOU let loose confusion in the minds of those focused on violence.
I pray for peace throughout the USA this evening and tomorrow and each and every nation where votes were cast today beginning in the heart/soul of YOUR adopted sons and daughters. 'Put on then, as God’s chosen ones, holy and beloved, compassionate hearts, kindness, humility, meekness, and patience, bearing with one another and, if one has a complaint against another, forgiving each other; as the Lord has forgiven you, so you also must forgive. And above all these put on love, which binds everything together in perfect harmony.' Colossians 3:12-14 ESV]
I pray that you and your family members sleep well Tuesday night and will awake refreshed and healthy on Wednesday morning.
By the power and authority of the Name above all names, Jesus the Christ

Good “Tuesday & Election” Morning “Burroughs’ Posse Leader from a now beautiful day here in the Greater Boston area where the sky is a deep blue and crystal clear and a temperature of 39° with 66% humidity and winds W 9 MPH... Heading to the mid-40's this PRESIDENTIAL VOTING Day!!!
MY QUOTE:
"As we read all of today's quotes by each of us, we must remember that if we FAIL TO VOTE, we give up our rights to FREEDOM, not only for ourselves, but for all future generations of our children and their children." - Kerry F. Harkins - November 3, 2020 - General Election Day in the U.S.
____________________________________________________________________________
“Voting Day!” Why Not?
1) "Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction." - Ronald Reagan
2) "Our lives begin to end the day we become silent about things that matter. - Martin Luther King, Jr.
3) "The future of this republic is in the hands of the American voter." - Dwight D. Eisenhower
4) "Elections belong to the people. It's their decision. If they decide to turn their back on the fire and burn their behinds, then they will just have to sit on their blisters." - Abraham Lincoln
5) "The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men." - Lyndon B. Johnson
Remember...
“As leaders in our businesses, our churches, our military, and of our families we must be involved, and we must vote.” — COL (Ret) Mikel Burroughs
