Duties of Christian Citizenship Americans are blessed to have, as Abraham Lincoln put it: “government of the people, by the people, and for the people” – So it is our duty to register to vote and vote our values!

Duties of Christian Citizenship “Providence has given to our people the choice of their rulers, and it is the duty, as well as the privilege and interest of our Christian nation to select and prefer Christians for their rulers.” Founder John Jay First Chief Justice of the Supreme Court

Duties of Christian Citizenship “I think it is a disgrace that half the Christians in America aren't even registered to vote, and of those who are, only half go to the polls.” Dr. James Dobson, Founder Focus on the Family

Duties of Christian Citizenship “Our first civic duty is to vote. If you don’t vote, you are abandoning the biblical obligation to be a responsible citizen.” Chuck Colson, Founder Prison Fellowship

Duties of Christian Citizenship “The moral issues with public policy implications being debated today are far too important for Christians to ignore, especially at election time. Do your homework on the candidates and vote your values.” Tony Perkins, President Family Research Council

Duties of Christian Citizenship “I encourage people to vote for the candidate at every level who best represents their values and convictions, and then to pray for those in authority over us as required in Scripture.” Franklin Graham, Founder Samaritan’s Purse

Duties of Christian Citizenship “Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote… that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country.” Founder Samuel Adams Signer of the Declaration
