Loved everything you wrote! I believe that God smiles on you for your beliefs, in His Son as well as in the godly perspective on society in general. I especially loved your last three points starting with "I believe that people who look at elected officials as leaders are misguided." If more people believed like you, we would have such a divided country right now.
You have my vote! I hope you win!

Good luck in the contest!

Point taken--your punchline sums it up perfectly. As it happens, I agree with much you say; regardless, you earn your stars for non-nonsense narration.

Thank you for all your thoughts, all very timely. I don't live in the US, but I am observing carefully what is going on, and praying for positive outcomes for your country. This is a heartfelt piece of writing, and you are correct in that others won't necessarily have identical views. But fortunately we are free to express our views respectfully. Thank you for your writing.

I'm curious why you rated this four stars.
Comment from michele will
I will be your fan. not 100% in agreement but mostly. I like the creative way you laid it out. That made it easy to read. the vision our founding fathers had was formed in a misogynistic and racist world. Change is difficult - it will take longer than most of us would like to achieve the many wonderful beliefs you have.

Comment from Cynthia Adams1
I liked your essay a lot. You sound like a reasonable, ethical and sensible person. I'm not sure I agree with everything but we agree on quite a lot. And even if we didn't, sounds like we would each insist the other have the right to say it.
I like the artwork you picked out. I think the set-up of your essy was good with starting each paragraph with a bold "I believe."
Good luck in the contest.

-This is very well written
and interesting to read.

not being what the Founding
Fathers had in mind.
-I also appreciate your
service to this country.
-Your thoughts on love, equality,
music, and education are also
ones I can relate to.

enjoyed reading this.

Comment from Seshadri_Sreenivasan
Very interesting writing, brave enough to stand for what you believe is right. What I believe is we should live a life full of passion and purpose. There is no limit to believe in oneself. Thank you for sharing. Good luck!
