Links to campaign sites:
Donald Trump (Republican)
Hillary Clinton (Democrat)
Jill Stein (Green)
Gary Johnson (Libertarian)
If you don't want to vote for any of those four, you can always write someone in such as Evan McMullin (Independent) or Darrell Castle (Constitution Party). This election is about much more than the Heathcare mess, the economy and ever growing government. People often forget that the judicial branch is one of the main reasons this election is important. It does matter what philosophies are sitting on the bench, most can be broken down into two groups:
Progressive
The Constitution is a "living document" and should change with society's current ideas; federal government given ever increasing power; Constitution can be twisted and interpreted to make it fit laws, rather than laws fit the Constitution.
Constitutionalist
Government should be small not only in size but also in scope and in power. Powers not strictly given to the federal government by the Constitution are retained by the states or individuals. Laws must follow the Constitution as written.
The next president could appoint as many as 5 new Supreme Court Justices over the next four years. They decide if a law is ok under our Constitution, for good or for bad.
1.
Justice Scalia's seat is open
2. Justices Kennedy, Stephens, Ginsburg are 80 or older
3. Justice Breyer is 78
2. Justices Kennedy, Stephens, Ginsburg are 80 or older

The next president could appoint as many as 5 new Supreme
Court Justices over the next four years. They decide if a law can exist by our
Constitution, for good or bad for possibly decades.
Whomever we elect as president in November is almost certainly
going to choose hundreds of other life-tenured federal judges and all will be
making decisions about our lives for decades to come.
You
may not have a perfect candidate but you do have a choice this November.
You just have to choose what you want.
The outcome of the election will ensure the people of the United States will get the government they deserve.
Make your choice. May the odds be ever in your favor.
