In a letter to the editor published in the July 23 issue of The New American, a Christian gentleman from Ocala, Florida, writes:
“Onward Christian soldiers, marching as to war.” Which war? It is the war on personal freedom and religious rights. The only way to win this war is to conquer apathy. Seventy-five percent of American citizens who attend church do not vote. That’s 21 million people! Fifty percent of America’s Christians are registered to vote. That means that 50 percent are not! Did you know that in the last six presidential races, each newly elected president won by a margin of 10 million votes? So, if our missing 21 million would show up at the polls, send in absentee ballots, and vote early, we could win this war on apathy and claim America back for her good and ours. What can we do? Glad you asked. We must influence our brothers and sisters in Christ to vote, set up registration tables in our churches, write letters to the editors in our local and national papers, and spread the word. Christians, wake up and stand up for America! Encourage others to do what’s right in God’s sight and ours. She desperately needs you now!
Vote for whom? Christians had a chance in the primaries to vote for someone who was actually worth voting for (Ron Paul), but choose to vote for warmongers instead.
This guy could have saved himself a lot of typing by just writing “Vote Republican.” That’s what the overwhelming majority of Christians mean when they encourage people to vote. I think Lew Rockwell has a better idea for this November. Voting will never change America back for the good of anyone.
