The Electorate and the Force of Free Choice

ALL THINGS THAT ARE OF TIMELESS WORTH do not come to any soul by chance, it must be a thing seized like a freedom won and all things won must first be a victory chosen and a path realized by it towards a destiny that is right - for that soul and for each that soul alone.

And if good things do happen to our shared humanity, it must be understood, that these things were also won for us by other souls, daring with our hopes together along paths that through virtue and the art of its grace ascend to make us kindred to each other in being and through our patient keeping of the common human good, with each other, rise above and beyond the nature of those unnatural things that divide and deceive the one family of Mankind.

Indeed, we can not be, as human beings, happy bereft of the choices necessary to make us free and the Liberty to allow for our freedoms to mature and these choices, by and large, do not fall to our laps by random chance.

It is also as such in the life of our nations.

Now, let us, as a free and enabled electorate, consider in the context of all of this, the act of voting itself. For it is quite important that it be further understood and remembered by all our democratic societies that there is a three-fold significance in the one seamless vote.

For contained within the act of voting itself, to begin with, without neither name nor proposition being put down on the ballot itself is (1) the consent of the governed to be governed; the act of choosing the name or proposition itself to put down on the ballot symbolic of (2) that citizen's choice to willingly participate in the democratic life of the one Republic whole and the choice itself of who is to represent that individual in the Republic forum or what proposition the quorum of the people makes specific and explicit to the state as its public mandate, (3) a peaceful exercise of force against the tyranny of evil things that make captive the life and the Liberty of the nation.

Because who or what we vote for in the life of our one Republic whole proceeds from the act of the vote itself, it is vital that each the hearts of our citizens understand and apply themselves to the three-fold significance of these things that happen in the space of that one seamless vote, that one very important choice; that the will of the electorate may be so enabled and the hope of this nation thus, preserved that the peace of our one Republic is both strengthened and assured by the force of our free choice; its promise of Country kept by the keeping of each our sacred trust, under the eternal vigilance of the one Almighty, for our own good, for our own common good and for the life and the Liberty of the generations to come.

Indeed, where the genuine commonweal of Country is, under the eternal vigilance of Almighty God, a matter of sacred and public trust, nobody who is a citizen exercising his or her legal right to vote and to responsibly participate in those honorable democratic traditions that guarantee the continuity of our necessary governance in the state really lose out who as part of the electorate exercise the force of a free and enabled choice in any election when these are things considered in the greater context of the life of the one Republic whole.
