Voting is one of the most important ways American's can be involved in our representational democracy. Through the simple act of casting an informed vote we have the opportunity to help make decisions that will affect our lives and the lives of our families for the next two to eight years.
While searching through this web site, it is important to understand that transparency in program and budget planning is essential for houses of worship as they conduct political activity of any kind. All of the suggested activities throughout this site, and those provided by our partners, are nonpartisan and do not encourage the promotion of any specific candidate for public office or their affiliated party.
However, the Faithful Democracy team would like to acknowledge that we all have an amazing opportunity to strengthen the public debate around the electoral process by allowing our faith to ground our political ideals. As long as we educate ourselves about the laws surrounding our participation in electoral affairs, there are many nonpartisan activities that we can conduct that are both demonstrations of our faith traditions and are extremely valuable and motivating to our greater national community.
The simple act of casting your vote can have a powerful effect. Your vote means that your elected officials are accountable to you. As a result, by casting an informed vote you become an advocate for all of the change or consistency that you want to see in this country. So, take action, encourage, empower and equip people of faith to get out to the VOTE!
