Mrs. Powell asked him a thought-out question about the proceedings inside – “Well, doctor,” she asked, “what have we got? A republic or a monarchy?”

Dr. Franklin shot back – “A republic, madam – if you can keep it.”

Never in the history of the world had a nation set up a system of government that would REQUIRE the people to govern themselves. It was unheard of.

How could the founders have trusted the people of America to keep our system of government strong? Ultimately in this republic – “We the People” are tasked with being the governing authority.

The CHURCH of Jesus Christ, all of us together regardless of denomination or worship styles, have a power at our fingertips that we aren’t using. It is a secret weapon that isn’t really that secret, but it might as well be - we aren’t using it to it’s potential. What am I talking about? The power of our VOTE. Yes, simply VOTING.
