Christian, Do Your Duty: Vote!

Every American citizen has, among other things, the right and responsibility to vote. If too many fail to take this responsibility seriously, it allows for a few, with bad intentions, to transform the state into an oligarchy or dictatorship!

Barna Research Finds Many Americans Still Read Bible, But What Are They Learning?
