If you don't vote, you have no right to complain when they take away our rights. The US Government is built on the people, but the people have abandoned their responsibilities and look where we are because of such thinking. When the church started fighting back, the IRS passed rules limiting free speech from the pulpit. If I were a pastor, I would have said "take your filthy lucre and I'll say what the Spirit tells me to say." The 501(c)3 law is a trap to keep the church from speaking the truth. Every church that uses that law is bound by law to limit political speech. Over the next year, atheists will come to churches just to see if pastors are speaking politically and report them. The new transportation bill that just past is a great example of fraud, waste, and abuse of power, and I guarantee you, most Americans only rely on the evening news to see if something is good or bad, and the worst of it all is that the news is in bed with the government! It's a fact. By this statement, I'm now considered a "conspiracy freak". I know history, next to math, it's my favorite subject. Governments change history so the lay people have to work harder at finding the truth. The statement like "the forefathers were deists and didn't believe in a specific God" is a lie. All but two signers were ordained ministers!
Anyhow, if you want what's right for the country, you MUST get involved. Think of it this way: if you're on a bus and you know how to drive safely and you see the bus driver driving erratically, speeding sideswiping cars, what would you do? I hope you'd get involved. The government is the bus driver. Do you know what the government is doing?
