Exceptional People Have An Exceptional Duty

When today’s American lawmakers both refuse to even read the laws beforehand and live under those they pass, they must be held accountable by those who fearlessly live by Jesus' righteousness, and possess in themselves the moral authority to judge the actions of elected officials!

I propose that at least a high school diploma be required to vote for local elections and a college degree for federal candidates. Yes it is elitist, but at least we will get good government.
