>While walking down the street one day a Corrupt Senator was tragically hit
>by a car and died.
>
>His soul arrives in heaven and is met by St. Peter at the entrance.
>
>"Welcome to heaven," says St. Peter. "Before you settle in, it seems there
>is a problem. We seldom see a high official around these parts, you see, so
>we're not sure what to do with you."
>
>"No problem, just let me in," says the Senator..
>
>"Well, I'd like to, but I have orders from the higher ups. What we'll do is
>have you spend one day in hell and one in heaven. Then you can choose where
>to spend eternity."
>
>"Really?, I've made up my mind. I want to be in heaven," says the Senator.
>
>"I'm sorry, but we have our rules."
>
>And with that, St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down,
>down to hell.
>
>The doors open and he finds himself in the middle of a green golf course. In
>the distance is a clubhouse and standing in front of it are all his friends
>and other politicians who had worked with him.
>
>Everyone is very happy and in evening dress. They run to greet him, shake
>his hand, and reminisce about the good times they had while getting rich at
>the expense of the people.
>
>They played a friendly game of golf and then dine on lobster, caviar and the
>finest champagne.
>
>Also present is the devil, who really is a very friendly guy who is having a
>good time dancing and telling jokes.
>
>They are all having such a good time that before the Senator realizes it, it
>is time to go.
>
>Everyone gives him a hearty farewell and waves while the elevator rises...
>
>The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens in heaven where St. Peter
>is waiting for him, "Now it's time to visit heaven.."
>
>So, 24 hours passed with the Senator joining a group of contented souls
>moving from cloud to cloud, playing the harp and singing. They have a good
>time and, before he realizes it, the 24 hours have gone by and St. Peter
>returns.
>
>"Well, then, you've spent a day in hell and another in heaven. Now choose
>your eternity."
>
>The Senator reflects for a minute, then he answers: "Well, I would never
>have said it before, I mean heaven has been delightful, but I think I would
>be better off in hell."
>
>So St. Peter escorts him to the elevator and he goes down, down, down to
>hell..
>
>Now the doors of the elevator open and he's in the middle of a barren land
>covered with waste and garbage. He sees all his friends, dressed in rags,
>picking up the trash and putting it in black bags as more trash falls from
>above.
>
>The devil comes over to him and puts his arm around his shoulders.
>
>"I don't understand," stammers the Senator. "Yesterday I was here and there
>was a golf course and clubhouse, and we ate lobster and caviar, drank
>champagne, and danced and had a great time. Now there's just a wasteland
>full of garbage and my friends look miserable.
>
>What happened?"
>
>The devil smiles at him and says,
>
>"Yesterday we were campaigning ...
>
>Today, you voted.."
>
>Vote wisely on November 4th-2014
