Of course. I'm voting democrat, not that that would matter where I live.

And I'm voting no to the Unmarried Couples Rights ban that many people are trying to pass off as a gay marriage ban. Gay marriage is already illegal in the state of Wisconsin. The only thing new that ban will contribute is the elimination of any rights to couples of any sort outside of marriage.

I'm voting for whoever is pro-life and pro-Second Amendment. Democrat or Republican. In most cases, this would be a Republican, but I would certainly vote for a Democrat who held these views.

If I were to vote this time (although I can't because I'm only 16), I would vote for the Republicans.

Not Voting

We are to pray for our leaders. The bible tells us to do that. We are also supposed to follow the laws (like not speeding etc) unless the Laws go against God.

As Commander in Chief of the Armed Forces, the president is explicitly charged with the duty of maintaining the military, defending our borders and preserving national interests through the use of violence if necessary or expedient. If I, as a follower of Christ, could not conscientiously serve in that role, then how can I in good conscience cast my support for someone else to do that in my stead? I am nonresistant.

In the past, members of the Anabaptist tradition have paid a very high price for their view —loss of property, forced emigration, imprisonment, and even martyrdom have all been a part of our collective story.
Voting, after all, is not just a “right.” It is also a “rite”—a ritual of identity and loyalty binding the individual to the nation. Abstaining from elections signal that our first loyalty is to the worldwide fellowship of Christian believers, not to the nation-state.

Jesus is my basis. He said follow me and enter the kingdom of heaven. He made no mention of service to another government. He also said to swear not. We are taught to say yes or no.

When we as strangers and pilgrims are hindered by the laws of the land we are in, we submit without complaint or leave.

The gospel has been lived and preached in every land with persecution.

When we live by his law and bless our rulers and enemies we are following his example even when it gets us imprisoned or killed.

Jerusalem in the days of King Solomon was a lot like America today with its "FREEDOM OF RELIGION" and BUSINESS,and like America and Europe today it was one big brothel.

It doesn't matter who is elected, the winner will not defend and preach the gospel of Jesus Christ even if he or she goes to church..

Being born in the United States I have many advantages, mainly that I can peacefully descent but that day is passing quickly as Satans world government takes over.

Christian allegiance can only be to that one kingdom--the Kingdom of God. The second chapter of Daniel illustrates the kingdoms of the world and the final one kingdom that will rule the world in righteousness-the Kingdom of God. True disciples of Christ respect the flags of all nations but give allegiance to the flag of no nation. Our allegiance is to a kingdom that will never fall (Daniel 2:44).
As Christian believers, we are not first and finally citizens of the USA. We are citizens of Heaven. It is best not to speak of America as ,.our" country. It is not our country. It is the country in which we happen to have been born. None of us had a choice about where we should be born. What if you had been born in Pakistan or North Korea or Cuba? Would you be patriotic there? Then why should you be patriotic here in the USA?

During World War 11, Lutherans fought for Germany and Lutherans fought for America. They killed each other. Why? For patriotism and for the glory of God. Does that make sense to you? They were, each in turn, patriotic for their own country.

If we vote, we are selecting a representative to act for us as individuals. When that representative makes choices and decisions, we are then obligated to support them. This could include going to war. If they declare war, that blood could well be on our hands. Those citizens who participate in the process of selecting civil officials (governors and presidents)--are then obligated to support the decisions of the officers when they are in office.

What does the Bible say about our citizenship? Philippians 3:20 clearly tells us that our citizenship is in Heaven. Hebrews 13:14 says that God's people are looking for a country because they have no continuing city here. The Bible further says that we are ambassadors (2 Corinthians 5:20). An ambassador is a person representing a foreign country. An ambassador does not participate in the politics of the country of residence. He or she represents the home country.

(John 18:36)

I vote every year. I don't vote straight party lines, that's ridiculous. I research and make informed decisions on each candidate.
