Exercised my franchise in yesterdays Florida primary. It is the first time in my adult life that I had no enthusiasm for doing the task. Indeed, it is the first time that I viewed it as a task at all.
I guess my best description of voting at this point in our history would be, Doing my Duty.
Duty to God, to use every opportunity to make peaceful change.
Duty to family, to set an example of what a law respecting citizen in a republic is to do.
Duty to country, to respect and honor the sacrifices of so many that give me option of peaceful change under a set of just laws to be administered equally to all.
Jefferson stated "“In matters of style, swim with the current; in matters of principle, stand like a rock.”
I believe the nation is "hell and gone " from style issues and we are on the rocks.
The rock of God.
The rock of family.
The rock of country.
I am past the point of compromise.
I will not renounce God
I will not abandon my family to tyranny.
I will not live as a slave to man or government.
I will resist.
