how can we get more christians to the poles to vote?

Question

I am concerned that we have such power on this day...
will we use this privilege this time?

Answer 1

Is it "Christian" to think that Christians should impose their will on others by making sure that lots of Christians vote? I am a Christian, however I hope that lots of Jews, Muslims, Hindus, agnostics and atheists (etc.) also exercise their right to go to the "polls" to vote. If everyone would register, and even if everyone who was registered now voted, then and only then would we have a representative vote that actually expresses the will of the people. I am always glad to see that people are interested in the outcome of the election but coming from a family where we were taught to vote everytime we could (Mother is 95 - still voting!) I am always saddened to talk to people who were "just too busy"or "it was raining and I didn't want to go out" or "I got off work and was tired and didn't want to stand in line". These are the comments that are actually electing officials all over this country. Because of lack of energy votes are lost. Every year we hear of people who lose elections by only a few votes. We all know the fiasco in Florida which decided a race as important as the Presidency and forever changed the country we live in - all because a few more people didn't go to the "polls". Please, everyone who can possibly get there, please go vote this election. Your vote does count. I don't care what party or which candidate you choose, just go select the person that you feel will do the best job. VOTE.

Answer 2

Regardless of your position regarding any political matter...I would hope that Americans would respect and protect the sometimes-ignored "Separation of Church and State." Religion has no place when discussing political matters..especially since it is a widely-acknowledged fact that Christianity is NOT a) a political stance or b) the only religion in America. Please try to focus on the matter at hand without diverting attention to non-factual beliefs that are personal. It is vital to the survival of our country that you do not attempt to mesh the two together. No one can agree 100% to either politics or religion....so what are the chances that we will agree on the two put together???

Answer 3

The same way we should get more non-Christians to the polls to vote - by sending out as much voter information as possible in all forms of media.

We wouldn't want to encourage only Christians to go out and vote, would we? That would be biased.

I prefer things fair and balanced, myself: just as many non-Christians as Christians, all equal under the law and with equal rights (including voting). And why not? Non-Christians are every bit as important as Christians, and their votes and rights are equally important.

It's called "Democracy". Love it or leave it.

Answer 4

How 'bout telling them that terrorists will nuke the United States and that God will send them to hell if they don't? Fear has always worked to motivate Christians before, and Rove, Bush & allies are still using it.

Christians have the same right to vote that any American citizen does. But what a shame that America is turning from a democracy to an invading, torturing, militant theocracy.

God save America!

Answer 5

Put more Christians on the ballots! I don't believe there are any in public office right now and none running. Churches need to give up Caesar's tax gifts and start telling their congregations the truth. They are afraid to speak about who your leaders ought to be because their afraid of losing the almighty dollar.

Answer 6

Hey Dude that is a no brainer man. Just ask any Democratic politician and they will tell you exactly how they do it. You just find youself a friendly Democratic Preacher and give him tons of "walking around money" and sit back and watch them Christians come pouring in to vote. I suspect you might even get some to come back from the grave to vote and some of them might even vote two or three times.

If you don't know what "walking around money" is just ask Hillary and she will explain it to you. Or better still Google it.

Answer 7

I for one am volunteering to pick up Seniors who can't get out and taking then to the poles. Many seniors are Christians and hopefully voting our way.
If not, then I guess we did our good deed for the day!

Answer 8

Flight is probably the best way to get Christians to the North or South poles...

Answer 9

yes we will but i also agree with alex b there shouldnt be any polotics from the pulpit christians are still a majority in this country whether anyone wants to admit it or not we just dont make our presence known enough we better all go vote for christ's sake litterally

Answer 10

Get someone up there worth voting for that supports the values I do and then I'll vote. Just remember the words, traditional, family values, morality, and we'll pay more attention. When they start talking war, modern values, "no child left behind"...blah blah blah, I didn't hear it. And yes, bush should go.
