So today is an open invitation… just like all days, you are free to comment, although today, I want to wholeheartedly encourage you. This is your opportunity to influence and encourage one another.
What issues are driving your vote this November? What concerns you?
My desire this day is to have you write the blog.
The ground rules are this:
1. As always, be respectful. That means no disparaging terms describing any candidate, person, or people group.
2. Be brief. In order to have an interactive discussion that informs and challenges, let’s try not to talk too much, but rather, get to the point. Sometimes we say more with fewer words.
3. Be factual and specific. Too many people base their concern (and their vote) on perspectives beginning with “it seems like” or “I feel.” The oversight with that approach is that individual experience often trumps truth. I would encourage you as much as possible to be factual and objective, remembering that a subjective approach has significant potential to distort reality.
4. If sharing any external link, utilize an objective source. Hence, nothing from MSNBC or rushlimbaugh.com, for example, qualifies as objective. And…
5. Be witty. It’s actually not a ground rule. I just appreciate wit.
Ok, friends, comment. Drive the discussion. What issues concern you most this coming election?
Respectfully,
AR
