Sacred Responsibility To Vote

Regarding the sacred responsibility and duty of American citizens to vote, Founding Father Noah Webster said, “… let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, 'just men who will rule in the fear of God.' The preservation of [our] government depends on the faithful discharge of this Duty; if the citizens neglect their Duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the Laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizen will be violated or disregarded. If [our] government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine Commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the Laws."

Welcome to present day America! Welcome to present day Arkansas! Our elected representatives, Federal and State, with nearly no exception, Republican and Democrat alike, neglect their responsibilities and oaths of office daily and habitually violate the trust placed in them by the citizens of this Country and State.

The Constitution is no longer the highest law of the land; being replaced by the whimsical fancies of 5 members of the Supreme Court and other inferior courts, along with their executive and legislative accomplices. The United States is no longer a land of law, liberty and justice; but now a land of Executive, Legislative and Judicial lawlessness, tyranny and injustice.

And who is responsible? We are, for our rulers are certainly not “just men who will rule in the fear of God” but consist entirely of the unprincipled, corrupt and/or incompetent.

And why is this…? - Because WE have placed political party allegiances over our duty to elect courageous and principled representatives “who will rule in the fear of God”.

Is the coming election going to be just more of the same…?
