Yes, I know of lot of Californians have already voted by mail.

But if you haven’t voted yet, or perhaps aren’t even sure you want to vote, let me encourage you right now.

WHY TO VOTE: If you love God, you’ll want to love Him with all of your heart, mind, soul, and strength. This greatest commandment also means loving God in the voting booth — for the sake of good government and laws.

And if you remember the second greatest commandment, “Love your neighbor as yourself,” you’ll definitely want to vote and vote wisely. Because you must do your part to stop or at least inhibit bad government from harming your neighbors with bad laws that crush family values, justice, fairness, ownership, and all that is good and sacred.

ElectionCenter_Friends_200X160HOW TO VOTE: You simply cannot trust campaign ads and definitely not the “Republican voterĀ guide” or “Democratic voter guide” sent to you in the mail. These contain “endorsements” paid for by the candidates themselves (read the fine print). So don’t rely on voter guides in the mail unless they are from a trusted, recognizable source.

Right now, many principledĀ Californians are being helped by our pro-family Election Center. While SaveCalifornia.com doesn’t support or oppose candidates, we provide links to voter guides that list where candidates and officeholders stand on important issues. So please, visit with your sample ballot in hand, and share it with your friends.

When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, “just men who will rule in the fear of God.” The preservation of government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted; laws will be made, not for the public good so much as for selfish or local purposes; corrupt or incompetent men will be appointed to execute the laws; the public revenues will be squandered on unworthy men; and the rights of the citizens will be violated or disregarded. If a republican government fails to secure public prosperity and happiness, it must be because the citizens neglect the divine commands, and elect bad men to make and administer the laws.
Noah Webster, “America’s Schoolmaster” (1758-1843)
