“When you become entitled to exercise the right of voting for public officers, let it be impressed on your mind that God commands you to choose for rulers, just men who will rule in the fear of God. . .

The preservation of a republican government depends on the faithful discharge of this duty; if the citizens neglect their duty, and place unprincipled men in office, the government will soon be corrupted. (“Advice to the Young” from Value of the Bible and Excellence of the Christian Religion, 1834)”
-Noah Webster
