Republicans, The Fight Is Not Over

Republicans of Arkansas, the fight is not over. We did well on the state level. Do not take the slim defeat of Mitt Romney as a signal to give up. We have much work left to do. We can still take this Republic back to the founding principles enshrined in our Constitution. But it is not as much a political issue as it is a moral issue.

In scripture, at Romans 1-18, it says: “For the wrath of God is revealed from heaven against all ungodliness and unrighteousness of men, who by their unrighteousness suppress the truth.”

More than 60 percent of those under 30 voted for President Obama.

More than 25 percent ofhigh school graduates are physically unfi t to join the military. A majority of women voted for abortions. I have no doubt that the president and his administration will prove themselves miserably wrong. They quickly showed their true colors by asking the U.N. to send a new resolution for International Arms Control.

Get your house in order and use the next four years to change what you can. Now is not the time to sit down.

Remember George Washington was losing the war of Independence. As it was with Washington, Divine Providence will see us through to victory. But the bed has been made and now must be slept in. Youmust remain vigilant. There are very tough times ahead.

Be courageous. Never, never, never give up. God Bless America.

SPRINGDALE’S

‘MONOTONY’ Here’s what would have happened in Springdale’s City Council election if we used the “For” or “Against” principle:

Rick Evans

For: 6,173

Against: 6,375

Jeff Watson

For: 5,609

Against: 6,893

This means neither incumbent won their race.

We appear to be on the way to a runoff election between Watson and Powers, but you get the picture. Kathy Jaycox received more “For” votes and won, but 42 percent of the votes were against her.

How can Springdale keep up with the area when we end up with a “monotony?”
