I don't know what quote you're referring to.
Do you know of a case, since the existence of the constitution, where a U.S. citizen has been fined or imprisoned for not voting? I can't think of any. It must not be a law of the land.


Apparently they can't vote in good conscience. When they vote for one professional liar over another professional liar, they're voting for a professional liar. Not everyone can do that with a good conscience.


Can you honestly say that you can read another man's conscience?
It's not in the constitution nor is it illegal. If it were illegal, 50% of the US population would be in jail, lol.

Article I
Section 2.
The House of Representatives shall be composed of members chosen every second year by the people of the several states, and the electors in each state shall have the qualifications requisite for electors of the most numerous branch of the state legislature.
@Nehemiah6 this secular law does not command all u.s. citizens to vote.

choosing does not necessarily mean voting, and certainly doesn't mean 100% eligible citizens to be involved in whatever process is used to choose - only the electors, as it states, and the process of choosing electors is completely unspecified, as i pointed out earlier.

No one can honestly say that they cannot vote for Trump in good conscience.
i can honestly say that i cannot pledge myself to an unrepentant, vain liar who is clearly actively engaged in wholesale attempts to deceive Christians for his personal worldly gain, making merchandise of the gospel.

Nothing wrong with such a conviction. How would you describe his opponent?

Its more than that. More like voting FOR your own existence, and voting AGAINST your extermination.

Nothing could be more obvious.

Here is what you need to consider when voting:
First its MAGA......then its YOU. That the way it works.

(1) Mike Lee on X: "Did you know that the federal government is spying on Americans’ purchases, credit cards, and bank accounts, even if they are innocent of any crime? Did you know that the @USTreasury and the @FBI have surveilled financial transactions containing the terms “Trump” and MAGA,” and" / X

Did you know that the federal government is spying on Americans’ purchases, credit cards, and bank accounts, even if they are innocent of any crime? Did you know that the @USTreasury and the @FBI
have surveilled financial transactions containing the terms “Trump” and MAGA,” and relating to guns and religion? Did you know that the
@SECGov
has been quietly constructing a centralized database, called the Consolidated Audit Trail, designed to track every stock market transaction and the personal information of millions of Americans?

You are being taken to the cleaners man. War is the biggest racket in DC.

$570 BILLION FOR UKRAINE The website for Kamala Harris's presidential campaign has included a provision for allocating $570 billion to Ukraine. It‘s still online, folks!

And if so, where is this teaching found in scripture?
And if so, where is this teaching found in scripture?
Authorized (King James) Version
Romans 13


Let every soul be subject unto the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation. For rulers are not a terror to good works

Voting is a system for evil to be stopped, even though it is not, we will always here on this earth have evil amongst us. It is up to us each personally to decide between God and themselves first, then see the own love of God begin in you and me and all others too. Vote, is good to do, it is not a commandment to do it, nor is being under Law a commandment now either. We are free to see new in love and mercy as given us by God first and foremost is my honest sight given me to appreciate and do as led to do and love all the same as God did and does on that crfoiss of Son first, going willingly without a flesh fight back at all.
Thanks

First it sounds like you said voting is evil and should be stopped. Then you said go ahead and vote, it's good to do. I'm having troubling making sense out of this.

Anonymous twitter user?
The guy is a LAWER man. And he is FAR from anonymous.
In fact he is the middle of lawsuits filed against the Federal government.

Try and keep up.
So he says. Give me 3 minutes and I can make a social media profile claiming to be anyone you want me to be. Give me 30 and I can populate it with fraudulent linked credentials.

He doesn't seem capable of reason if he thinks two days after the biggest hurricane in recent memory hits a part of the country that never gets them everyone will be back to normal, but a country that a world superpower has been at war with for over a year doesn't need any help.
And he doesn't seem capable of even the most basic research if he believes the government has not reacted to the recent disaster.

I would not hire any lawyer that displays such ignorance and ineptitude. But I'm sure he's popular in the Twitter verse.

Go ahead and try to prove your claims. And good luck. And try not to get sued for defamation while you are at it.

The truth sets people free to choose over having to do. Think on that wisdom given you too from God for you in risen Son to you.
man is deciding wha tis truth bro do and not do, no freedom in that is there?

"All things are now permissible for me to do or not do, presently by m,y Lord Jesus unto his Lord Father. Now in belief, our Father too, ?John 20). Set free to choose what is good over what is not good for us to do

1 Corinthians 2:12
Now we have received, not the spirit of the world, but the spirit which is of God; that we might know the things that are freely given to us of God.
1 Corinthians 7:21
Art thou called being a servant? care not for it: but if thou mayest be made free, use it rather.

Free to choose to vote or not from you in you to choose too or not to, your free choice, you do, not have to as religion teaches we do have to or else attitudes of the first born flesh people. as If people have the charge, sorry, not even the Pharisees had that, yet took it and today still do that, food for thought and is not said to cause fights as in 1 Cor 3 tells me at least and Matt 10:16-20, Luke 21:14-15
We are new in God's Spirit and Truth John 4:23-24, once anyone believes God sees Eph 1:13, 6,7 verses and Phil 1:6, then Phil 3 to not be proud or boastful over anything or manipulate anyone to have to do anything, when God by Son took care of it all for us to be new own the same lkoive and mercy given on that cross
We are not under Law, we now Uphold Law. So if you choose to vote, you choose to vote Amen Hallelujah you are free to choose??!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
That is the new life given you, me and all others too, thank you

Illegal voting that results in your own enslavement is evil and should be stopped.
