As an (natural born) American citizen, I have a right and responsibility to vote in political elections. Over the past years, I have grown to appreciate the system of government that we have in these United States. This is a unique experiment in governance that is still going after almost 248 years.

It is incumbent on us, the current generation, to always vote. That is how we preserve our system of a democratic republic, which I believe is divinely ordained.

The rights that we have in this country come from God. And in the same vein, it is our responsibility to preserve them. I always vote in every election, including primaries, because not voting is also a vote; however, it is a vote in the wrong direction.
