Today, like our forefathers, you are called to courageous, solemn action to get personally and directly involved.
Your duty is significantly more than casual voting. It is participatory politics. It is citizenship. The Yankee patriot, Noah Webster, noted, “If the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted … If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the Divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.” (Straub 2012). This is our state of affairs today. To course correct this terrible reality that faces our nation this very hour, you are called to get involved at a deeper, more meaningfully important level. It may produce a sense of fear and cause your stomach to knot. However, the most important virtue, courage, starts with you. Your courage will inspire others.
