How interesting that in a representative republic we Americans are so prone to whine about the people we elect to represent us. As the bosses of our elected officials, we run this business called America like children with naughty parents, while we are the parents of children that are allowed to run free.

           Where does your loyalty lie? Do you volunteer with the reward of helping others? Are you in the game for self-serving interest? Would you step over your friends as well as constituents for power, greed, and political expediency? In this most contentious of election seasons, tempers and emotions are begun to flare, even amongst the most like-minded of individuals. Recently, I began to reflect on my first year and a half with the Osceola County Republican Executive. From that first day through the present, my feelings towards on loyalty as well as my own personal ambitions have changed in a very profound way.
