Before You Vote...Remember

"When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public

 

officers, 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." ~ Noah Webster
