John Riis-Christensen: Vote, for the good of the country
“Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual – or at least he ought not to do so; but that he is executing one of most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his Country.” – Samuel Adams (1781)
Our forefathers were much smarter than a lot of today’s voters.
John Riis-Christensen, Atwater
