Americans must consider carefully when making decisions about who to vote for and put into office in Congress and the White House. We need to consider the traits that are most critical for a person to lead our nation. I personally want someone who is above average intelligence. I want someone with a clear vision and a steady hand as our Commander in Chief. It is important to have a leader who understands international affairs and will not embarrass our country or get us into an unnecessary war. I feel it is important to have a leader who believes our government is important and understands its importance to the great majority of Americans. This is a very important decision.
The League of Women Voters is nonpartisan national organization and they actually have a guide online to assist people in this important decision making. They state: “Candidates can be judged in two ways: the positions they take on issues and the leadership qualities and experience they would bring to the office. Your first step in picking a candidate is to decide the issues you care about and the qualities you want in a leader.
When you consider issues, think about community or national problems that you want people in government to address. Also consider what party the candidate belongs to and the typical stance the party takes on the issues. For example, you may be interested in national security, government funding for student loans or unemployment.” You can see the full article at http://www.lwv.org/content/how-judge-candidate
