2009 Election Day A Success – Now On To 2010
By: Doug Busselman, Executive Vice President
While some might consider yesterday’s Election Day successes as noteworthy, we are pleased to report on the accomplishments of farmers and ranchers in two states, dealing with critical ballot questions. Ohio agricultural producers are celebrating the success at the polls in their state with passage of the ballot initiative geared to putting responsible science to work for management of livestock. Following roughly with the same type of property rights protection that Nevada voters have cemented into our state’s constitution, Texas agriculture and others interested in protecting private property rights were successful in getting their Ballot 11 Question passed by a wide margin.
The work that went into the successful campaigns, achieving their outcomes yesterday, need to serve as examples of not only what can be accomplished, but also the effort it takes to get the job done. Wishing or ranting about the objectives you want to achieve won’t get the job done – grassroots organizing, building coalitions of individual voters, getting your supporters to turn out for your positions are what the 2010 Election need to be about. It’s what we need to be doing now and through November a year from now.
Although the supporters of Big Brother Government want to advance the idea that their agenda is fueled by the election results of 2008, elected representatives who have and continue to vote for passage of the excessive tax and spend ideas need to understand that their votes have consequences. Un-electing those who back expansion of government at the local, state and national level is the best way to demonstrate that we reject the “Change” for a socialistic approach where government is perceived to be the end-all-and-be-all. Congratulations for those who accomplished their goals yesterday – now it’s time for us to reapply ourselves to working harder and getting more done for the goals we need to achieve.
