“Choosing not to vote isn’t rebellion. It’s surrender.” – Author unknown
In the election of November 2012, over 90 million eligible voters did not vote. It is estimated that up to 50 million of those were Christians. Sadly, many of them had not even registered. This is not only disgraceful, but Christians are accountable to God for neglecting the responsibility of maintaining His precious gift of liberty.
After the November 2012 election, Rev. Franklin Graham said, “If Christians are upset, they need to be upset at themselves… If Christians would just vote, then elections in this country would be much different.”
“Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people.” -Proverbs 14:34 This verse affirms what has been proven by the fallen nations throughout history: What makes a nation great is measured by a people who do what is right by God’s standards, not what seems right in their own eyes. Our founders secured and protected these standards in our founding documents and referred to them as “natural rights.” They designed our government upon the foundation that all of our laws should conform to these natural right standards. Candidates who stand first for this standard of truth certainly will not get into office unless God’s people vote for them. If we have corrupt and lawless rulers we are doubly responsible since we, unlike many other nations in history, have the freedom to vote.
It is irresponsible to be an uninformed voter. Research the candidates to know if they align with natural rights on important issues. Do they uphold the natural and fundamental rights to life, liberty, and property? Instead of relying on deceptive political ads, read the party platform of each candidate to see what that candidate has agreed to...

May be the last time this is true.
Should Trump lose, there is absolutely, positively NO reason to vote for the Uniparty again.
There will remain but one solution.
The second amendment.
Not exaggerating.
The Florida deadline has been extended to October 16th which SHOULD be good news for Republicans to get out and get some more registered. Trump is in Ocala now. I hope they have registration tables at all the rallies from now until October 16th in Florida.
If you don’t vote for Trump you are voting for surrender to European style socialism that will destroy us. ANYONE who cannot make up his/her mind or won’t vote has $*** for brains!
INFORMED voting, please.
It's possible that many of them were fed up with the two-party scam of being given two equally retarded and detrimental options.
Baloney.
One should only vote if they are sufficiently informed on the issue or race on which they are voting. If you are not, DON’T vote. In fact, it’s irresponsible to vote if you are not informed.
Voting is not a duty. It is not a moral imperative. It is a right, no different than our second amendment right to keep and bear arms. And like all rights it carries with it the obligation to exercise it in a responsible manner. I would not encourage everyone in the state to go out and buy a gun, because statistically there is a percentage who are too dumb, too careless, too irresponsible to exercise that right. Same with voting. Vote, if you know what you’re doing. Vote, if you can make an informed decision on the candidates. Vote, if you prepare yourself to exercise that right responsibly. If you are not going to do any of those then stay the hell at home.
