In the days in which this was spoken, there
was no refrigeration. Salt was used to prevent the corruption and
degradation of food. We are called to prevent the corruption and
degradation of the society in which we live. We cannot do that by
remaining uninvolved in the political process. Ours is not only the
right to vote and encourage others to do the same. Ours is the
responsibility.
There are many who wear the label of Christian
who are refusing to vote in November because they refuse to vote for a
Mormon. Mitt Romney was not my first choice, but he is our only choice
against Obama. Now is not the time for a misplaced sense of righteous
indignation. Now is the time for unity as we stand together against
another four years of the current administration carrying out a
decades-old strategy to nullify our Constitution and the individual
liberties it guarantees us.
If you think this is business as
usual, think again. We are at a crossroads in our nation. Our freedom is
at stake. Our future is at stake. With the same resolve that our
founding fathers stood against tyranny as they established this free
nation, so must we now unite as one and ardently fight against the
forces that would strip away our liberty and move us toward socialism
and worse.
They fought with guns and cannons. Our weapon is
our vote. We CAN turn this ship around. There is no perfect candidate,
so stop expecting one and using imperfection as an excuse not to fulfill
YOUR civic duty.
