"Freedom isn't free. It shouldn't be a bragging point that 'Oh, I don't get involved in politics,' as if that makes someone cleaner. No, that makes you derelict of duty in a republic. Liars and panderers in government would have a much harder time of it if so many people didn't insist on their right to remain ignorant and blindly agreeable." ~ Bill Maher
I personally know people who don't vote. And this is how I feel about it. Speaking from a Christian standpoint, why would we not get involved? If we want things to change, but we will do nothing to make it happen, do we really deserve the changes we ask for? I don't think so.
Change takes work.
Prayer is important. Very important. BUT. If all you do is pray, you are very like the man who was on a roof in the middle of a flood and refused help from a helicopter and a boat, because he was 'waiting for God to save him.' God could have saved him - if he'd gotten into the helicopter or boat.
You have to act.
You have to get out and DO something.
You know why 'all' the politicians are crooked? Because the honest ones refuse to 'get involved.' Because they have a policy that involves staying away.
Do something.
