"Every four years, citizens of this nation face a massive decision and vote to elect a president of the United States. The framers of the Constitution understood that the presidency itself was both revolutionary and unprecedented. The role was outlined in the Constitution, but it was made real in the person of George Washington—the only man the founders could envision as the nation’s first chief executive.
In war and
in peace, in prosperity and in pandemic, Americans have exercised the vote
because we understand that this is the most important role we play in deciding
the future of the nation, the shape of its laws and the character of its
government.
Every four
years, we are told that this election is the most important vote of our
lifetime. In a very real sense, it is. The reason is now clear— the issues that
loom before this nation and its voters are growing more urgent, and the divides
between the two major political parties grow only wider. In 2020, America’s
Christians must realize that our two political parties represent two radically
different visions of the nation and its future, two different understandings of
the role of government, two very different ways of reading the U.S.
Constitution and even two different moralities."
