Why does voting matter?
September 19, 2022
Our country has elections. People vote. It’s our way to direct our country in ways that matter to each of us.
The constitution reads ‘That to secure these Rights, Governments are instituted among Men, deriving their just Powers from the Consent of the governed.
Our consent is our vote. It is our right under the law. Each citizen has certain rights.
However, there are certain rights that are only granted to U.S. citizens, including the right to vote, to apply for federal employment, to run for elected office, to obtain a U.S. passport and to not be denied re-entry into this country
There’s a common saying ‘use it or lose it.’ How true. We still can, and even must vote. It’s our voice as an image bearer of God.
