To Vote Or Not To Vote (by Brian McLaren)

To Vote Or Not To Vote (by Brian McLaren)

McLaren wrestles with whether to vote or not, (and I think for the first time in writing) comes to the decision to vote. Regardless of whether you agree or not, it's a good read.

Lately some of my friends and I have been discussing the virtues of voting McKinney or Nader as opposed to simply writing in Jesus on the ballot. Any thoughts? How will your vote reflect your conscience regarding a government that regularly empowers the rich in this world to become richer at the expense of the poor? How will your action this November change the world? Remember––a non-vote can be an act of subversion or a passive apathy.

Let me know on Twitter or Facebook.
