Make Your Vote Count: What the Bible Says about 25 Key Political Issues | Frontline Books
3 posts
This election season promises to be among the most contentious ever. In addition to a presidential campaign featuring no incumbents, this election will turn on a handful of pivotal issues presently confronting American voters, the consequences of which likely will influence the direction of our nation for decades to come. Each of the major issues that is likely to form the basis of the national debate in this election season is explained here in a style that is easy to access and understand. This anthology of present-day issues will fortify you with the biblical perspective on which to base your decisions. With the Bible as the ultimate source of answers, you can be sure that your decisions will be grounded in faithful stewardship and godly obedience. This book is not about being a Republican or Democrat; it's not about endorsing candidates or telling you how to cast your vote. It simply provides a biblical foundation upon which to make voting decisions that will both honor God and best serve our country in 2008 and beyond.

Day 6 Make Your Vote Count

I was confused by this theme until I realised that it was the US midterms yesterday...

This is the first thing that I thought of!

Day 6 - #makeyourvotecount

Election Day reminds me of my political career:
I was a write-in candidate in 1998 for borough council in my home town. Here I am teaching voters how to write-in my name. I won the election with 180 write-in votes and beat my opponent who was on the ballot by 10 votes. I went on and won elections in 2001 and 2005. I served a total of 12 years. I also became the first woman borough council President in my borough.

vkois88 That's such a cool and important job! 5y
EadieB @vkois88 I got involved because of the dishonest people involved. I went door to door and eventually got rid of the ones who were not following the law and then got honest people elected. I called it ‘educating the voter.‘ (edited) 5y
OrangeMooseReads That is awesome 👍🏼 5y

EadieB @OrangeMooseReads I worked for the taxpayers and nobody got favors. Some people were not too happy because they thought they were special and wanted their own way. (edited) 5y
OrangeMooseReads @EadieB that‘s the way all in public office should be. 5y
EadieB @OrangeMooseReads Sad to say it is not the reality. Politicians lie and then the voter gets confused and ends up not knowing who to vote for. I found that very frustrating! (edited) 5y
OrangeMooseReads @EadieB I know. It is sad that politicians are mostly in it for themselves and don‘t care about the people they work for. 5y
ravenlee Good on you! 5y
EadieB @ravenlee Thanks! In the beginning I was offered positions on the council if I voted along with them and I told them that I don‘t need a position, I have my own mind and I never listened to my dad and why would I listen to them. @OrangeMooseReads (edited) 5y
arubabookwoman Good for you! Very grateful for people like you in politics. 5y
EadieB @arubabookwoman It was not easy to go against their dishonest policies and finally had to leave because my husband and I made a pact to quit everything we were doing and concentrate on our lives as people don‘t always appreciate what you do. He had a hard time when they would lie about me in the newspapers in order to get rid of me so they could continue their dishonest ways. (edited) 5y
arubabookwoman That's awful, and I'm sorry you had to go through that. The lies and dishonest attacks (instead of facts and real issues) may be why many good people choose not to go into politics. 5y
EadieB @arubabookwoman I‘m sure it is. I went to the newspaper and told them to check their facts before they print the letters they received about me. I told them the guy who wrote the lies was campaigning in their paper in order to gain my seat and that they were printing lies in order to sell newspapers. They said that they would not print anymore of his letters. Politics is such a dirty business. (edited) 5y
