I have yet to choose a candidate that I support, or even a party, as I Am a moderate, centrist independent. I'll wait to hear to decide that the two candidates in the run-up to the Bundestag election, whether the vote for the main party candidate or write in a candidate that I can support morally. It seems that there are too many candidates, like me, rather than One that I can support, actually.

What is at stake in the election, I believe, is for America to be his voice to a unified State . Regardless of the results, I think, to find the largest and most important task for the country, the healing and the unit from the turbulent last four years.
