A powerful senator dies after a prolonged illness.
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 seemsthere 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 guy. 
 
"Well, I'd like to but I have orders from higher
up. 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 club 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 attire. They run to
greet him, hug him, and reminisce about the good
times they had while getting rich at the expense
of the people. They play a friendly game of golf
and then dine on lobster and caviar. 

Also present is the Devil, who really is a very
friendly guy who has a good time dancing and
telling jokes. They are having such a good time 
that before he realizes it, it is time to go.
Everyone gives him a big hug and waves while the
elevator rises. 
 
The elevator goes up, up, up and the door reopens
on Heaven where St. Peter is waiting for him. "Now
it's time to visit Heaven." 
 
So 24 hours pass with the head of state 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." 

He reflects for a minute, then the senator
answers, "Well, I would never have said it, 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 is 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.
The Devil comes over to him and lays his arm on
his neck. "I don't understand," stammers the
senator. "Yesterday I was here and there was a
golf course and club and we ate lobster and caviar
and danced and had a great time. Now all there is,
is a wasteland full of garbage and my friends look

miserable. 
 
The Devil looks at him, smiles and says,
"Yesterday we were campaigning...Today you voted
for us!" 

VOTE WISELY THIS COMING ELECTION!!
