"The world expects of Christians that they will raise their voices so loudly and clearly and so formulate their protest that not even the simplest man can have the slightest doubt about what they are saying. Further, the world expects of Christians that they will eschew all fuzzy abstractions and plant themselves squarely in front of the bloody face of history. We stand in need of folk who have determined to speak directly and unmistakably and come what may, to stand by what they have said." - Albert Camus [French writer and philosopher (1913-1960)]

Every Executive Order, Judicial Decree or Law is a line drawn in the sand.
On one side is Right on the other side is Wrong.
This is the DEFINITION of morality.
It follows that the Character of those who draw the lines in the sand is
EXTREMELY IMPORTANT ! !

'You can't legislate morality.' is a LIE.

**Tips for New Voters**
1.) If not registered, get registered, at least, 60 days prior to the election. Call your County Elections Office. 2.) When you sign up to vote, you will be asked if you want to choose a political party. It does not cost anything. 3.) Before the election, you will get a booklet from your County Elections Office. It will list all the candidates and measures that will be on your ballot. 4.) You don't have to vote on everything in an election. Just choose the things that interest you and learn more about them.	5.) You can choose to vote by mail. Apply for "an absentee ballot" using the form that comes with your Sample Ballot. Someone can help you fill it out if you like. Just be sure to return your ballot by election day. 6.) If you want to vote at the polls on election day, look for the address of your polling place on the mailing label of the Sample Ballot. Or you can call your County Elections office before the election to ask where to go. 7.) When you vote, do not feel rushed or afraid to ask for help. It is your right to vote! 8.) Bring a photo ID and your voter card with you to the polls.
