Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "With Christ in the Voting Booth is not a dated Voter's Guide that promotes certain candidates and after the election becomes as useful as day-old toast. Instead, Shedlock has written a book that addresses issues that crop up in every election. What if the candidate isn't fully pro-life? What if he or she wants to raise my taxes? What about third parties, or sitting it out altogether?" Governor Mike Huckabee Know who to vote for doesn't always come easy for the Christian. No unambiguous voice from heaven whispers: "This is my candidate, vote for him." Even though almost every candidate in America makes a Christian profession, most of us know some Christians we wouldn't trust with a loaded BB gun, let alone access to the launch button of the world's largest cache of nuclear weapons. Thankfully, God has given us His Word, "The Ultimate Voter's Guide." Using the Bible, With Christ in the Voting Booth provides us tools to resist Government Too Small and Government Too Big, while embracing Government Just Right, not based on false promises and "Christian" utopian fantasies, but rather the most important political success story of all: The Voter (and Governor) Who Pleases God. David Shedlock graduated from Central Bible College in Springfield, Missouri and received his Master's Degree in English as a Second Language from Minnesota State University (Mankato). He is a leading contributor and assistant editor to the blog, Caffeinated Thoughts and its companion site Caffeinated Theology. He has been a member of Trinity Presbyterian Reformed Church in Johnston, Iowa, since 1996. He and his wife, Judy, have five children and 16 grandchildren.

Download or read book The Child in the Voting Booth written by Ray B. Smith and published by Tate Pub & Enterprises Llc. This book was released on 2009-06-23 with total page 231 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: If America goes down the tubes, it will be because voters send their Child into the voting booth to vote Parents into political office while their rational Adult sits out in the car. In The Child in the Voting Booth, Dr. Ray Smith attempts to educate the Adult in voters in hopes their rational Adult will come in and take charge. In clear and often humorous language, the author gives numerous examples of the disasters that follow when a government assumes Parental control of its citizens' morality or of a nation's economy. The Prohibition amendment ended up with more Americans of every sex and age drinking than ever before. The present war on drugs has set off an historical drug orgy clear across America. Former laws against men touching each other yielded 4 times more men in bed together. Laws limiting a woman's decisions regarding her uterus, kill 125 times more women per unit termination. The lesson is that all governmentally Parented moral 'misbehavior' continues, and gets worse, until the government Parenting stops. When governments try to Parent the economy by running and controlling it, the economy always goes straight to hell, according to Smith. The Child in the Voting Booth is often funny, frequently alarming, and always sobering. As an added bonus Dr. Smith shares with you what your neighbors are doing in the bedroom... and in the alley out behind the house. Dr. Smith is a licensed psychologist who formerly taught Transactional Analysis to hundreds of supervisory and management level personnel in the District of Columbia Government. He also practiced Transactional Analytical therapy with numerous psychotherapy groups in the District's Mental Health Administration. After receiving his Ph.D. in physiological psychology at the University of Texas, he taught in the Psychology Department at the State University of New York in Courtland.

He is now in private practice as a research consultant. He lives on the Chesapeake Bay in Maryland with four friends and his lobster, Ralph.

Download or read book Give Us the Ballot written by Ari Berman and published by Farrar, Straus and Giroux. This book was released on 2015-08-04 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A National Book Critics Circle Award Finalist, Nonfiction A New York Times Notable Book of 2015 A Washington Post Notable Nonfiction Book of 2015 A Boston Globe Best Book of 2015 A Kirkus Reviews Best Nonfiction Book of 2015 An NPR Best Book of 2015 Countless books have been written about the civil rights movement, but far less attention has been paid to what happened after the dramatic passage of the Voting Rights Act (VRA) in 1965 and the turbulent forces it unleashed. Give Us the Ballot tells this story for the first time. In this groundbreaking narrative history, Ari Berman charts both the transformation of American democracy under the VRA and the counterrevolution that has sought to limit voting rights, from 1965 to the present day. The act enfranchised millions of Americans and is widely regarded as the crowning achievement of the civil rights movement. And yet, fifty years later, we are still fighting heated battles over race, representation, and political power, with lawmakers devising new strategies to keep minorities out of the voting booth and with the Supreme Court declaring a key part of the Voting Rights Act unconstitutional. Berman brings the struggle over voting rights to life through meticulous archival research, in-depth interviews with major figures in the debate, and incisive on-the-ground reporting. In vivid prose, he takes the reader from the demonstrations of the civil rights era to the halls of Congress to the chambers of the Supreme Court. At this important moment in history, Give Us the Ballot provides new insight into one of the most vital political and civil rights issues of our time.

Download or read book The Ethics of Voting written by Jason Brennan and published by Princeton University Press. This book was released on 2011-04-04 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Nothing is more integral to democracy than voting. Most people believe that every citizen has the civic duty or moral obligation to vote, that any sincere vote is morally acceptable, and that buying, selling, or trading votes is inherently wrong. In this provocative book, Jason Brennan challenges our fundamental assumptions about voting, revealing why it is not a duty for most citizens--in fact, he argues, many people owe it to the rest of us not to vote. Bad choices at the polls can result in unjust laws, needless wars, and calamitous economic policies. Brennan shows why voters have duties to make informed decisions in the voting booth, to base their decisions on sound evidence for what will create the best possible policies, and to promote the common good rather than their own self-interest. They must vote well--or not vote at all. Brennan explains why voting is not necessarily the best way for citizens to exercise their civic duty, and why some citizens need to stay away from the polls to protect the democratic process from their uninformed, irrational, or immoral votes. In a democracy, every citizen has the right to vote. This book reveals why sometimes it's best if they don't.

So they vote, along with all the others, many of whom are looking for welfare in one form or another. For those seeking freedom from government it's a losing fight. Is there a better way?Some people become revolutionaries, others champion secession, still others leave the country or go off the grid. And a few go into politics pledging to change things. But what if those wanting freedom from government as it exists simply announced their wish? What if they wanted all their needs, including security, provided by market agencies? What if the tally of people expressing this wish reached a critical mass? Could the powers that be ignore them?Let's find out.
