Well bless your heart..that was wonderfully put..A Christian has a duty to vote probably more than any other citizen because of the biblical principles that are out there relating to nations. The Scripture tells us, Proverbs 14:34, that "Righteousness exalts a nation”
For those who have a perspective out of the Bible, it is more incumbent on them—as a duty—to be involved to choose leaders who will enact policies that God can bless in a community, state or nation; to choose leaders that will make decisions that God can honor.
PS And Shame on you if you don't.
I never understood why that case (Supreme Court in Bush v. Gore (2000)), ever went to the Supreme Court. Amendment 15 states:
Amendment 15 - Race No Bar to Vote.
1. The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.
2. The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation.
Does that not clearly state there IS a right and it shall not be impeded? I can't believe it.:blink:
Thanks Rod, I'll look at all the other flippant amendments out there and take out all the parts of the constitution I disagree with.That is not a "blanket" right to vote. In context, this amendment prohibits states from preventing former slaves from voting. In other words, when a state permits someone to vote, they cannot deny that permission based on the mere fact that they were once a slave.
The phrase, "right to vote" is used flippantly.
Essentially, we are in need of a clearly defined constitutional right to vote.
I'm all for it so there can be some form of clarity within the system.
Polling site---> Nudist colony..isn't that sort of an oxymoron?Just a Little Humor on the Subject
Nudist group wants clothing-optional polling site Nov 3 04:14 PM US/Eastern
LAND O’ LAKES, Fla. (AP) - A nudist community on Florida’s west coast wants to establish the first clothing-optional polling site. The Caliente Resorts, located in Pasco County north of Tampa, has approached election officials about the idea.
Nothing in state law would prohibit it, but the supervisor of elections says he is opposed to creating any new precincts before redistricting in 2010. Copyright 2008 The Associated Press.

The sentence starts out clearly in the text of English "The right of citizens of the United States to vote" and in the English class I took means you boil the subject down to "The right to vote" (gerund?). Hence why I said, the Supreme Court should NEVER had to listened to the Gore V Bush 2000 case.
Next you'll say that "We the people" means a flippant remark the select few that can read and write.
This form of interpretation is slowly degrading what the American society has stood for. Please remember that smarter people than us came up with this document. Sorry for the rant, Rod, but that flippant statement doesn't add up for me.
The United States is one of the eleven nations in the world that doesn't provide an explicit right to vote in its Constitution.
Rod,This may help you:

Until "We the people" wake up and realize what is lacking, our collective voice will not be heard to implement change.
