Voter Information

You may be thinking, "What a strange article to put in a church website!" 
It is our deep conviction that, since "We the people . . ." are the government, we all share a sacred responsibility to always participate in our government through two fundmental activities:  

• Vote

• Voice (consistently contact your representatives)

 
As we  prepare to vote in all elections, let us heed the words of founder John Adams:
“We electors have an important constitutional power placed in our hands; we have a check upon two branches of the legislature . . . the power I mean of electing at stated periods [each] branch. . . . It becomes necessary to every [citizen] then, to be in some degree a statesman, and to examine and judge for himself of the tendency of political principles and measures. Let us examine, then, with a sober, a manly . . . and a Christian spirit; let us neglect all party [loyalty] and advert to facts; let us believe no man to be infallible or impeccable in government any more than in religion; take no man’s word against evidence, nor implicitly adopt the sentiments of others who may be deceived themselves, or may be interested in deceiving us.”
​
We can VOICE our opinions using the following websites: 

• U.S. Federal Government:  congress.gov

• NC State Government site: ncleg.gov

• Randolph County Government: randolphcountync.gov

 
Here you will find the actual text for the Democratic National Platform and the Republican National Platform. 
We encourage you to take the time to look what these party’s actually stand for, not what you’ve heard from family, friends or media.
Let’s all be part of an educated electorate and by all means, please vote; it is our sacred duty.
