Vote for America's Good Not 'Lesser of Two Evils' Challenges Evangelist Alveda King
Contact: Eugene Vigil, 470-244-3302, asst@alvedaking.com
WASHINGTON, Aug. 9, 2016 /Standard Newswire/ -- Evangelist Alveda King (photo), Director of Civil Rights for The Unborn, Priests for Life, releases the following and is available for comment:
This Presidential election, many are saying they will vote for the "lesser of two evils." Won't it be better to vote for "what's good for America?" Voting on the issues trumps evil hearts and personalities.
A colleague writes:
"We hear the phrase: 'lesser of two evils' a lot...This year, we have witnessed much voting hand-wringing with many people of faith claiming that it is evil to ever vote for 'the lesser of two evils', or for any evil at all. I have concluded that this lesser of two evils phrase is really a canard; a false picture of the electoral choice. Yes, we should never ever vote for evil; only for good. Hence, in a binary election, we should only vote for the good. As for both candidates appearing to be evil, remember that all of us are a mix of good and evil." (Jeremiah 17:9)
So, let's overlook personal personality preferences; vote for the candidate with the greater potential to deliver on the issues most closely aligned with our faith and what is good for America.
This choice may be uncomfortable. But remember, we're trusting God's wisdom instead of a human candidate. (Proverbs 3:5-8)
For me, it's sanctity of human life, procreation, racial justice, economic growth and stability, a positive work ethic, good health, safe borders, domestic harmony, good jobs, sustainable values based education, family stability, and a God guided U. S. Supreme Court; all biblical. Even the building of the wall. It's not a first! Ezra and Nehemiah did that.
Walls aren't evil; it's the intent that's important. If the walls protect the citizens and yet have gates of legal entry to those in need, or desirous of becoming U. S. citizens, such walls aren't evil.
Note that in Nehemiah's day, the people had a mind to work. Handouts and entitlements weren't on the agenda. (Nehemiah 4:6)
Let's pray and act now, and return to God; if not for ourselves, then for future generations.
Finally, let's agree with Daniel in prayer:

Oh Lord our God, "lean down and listen to [us]. Open your eyes and see our despair. See how [much of America] lies in ruins. We make this plea, not because we deserve help, but because of your mercy. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, listen and act! For your own sake, do not delay, O my God, for your people and your city bear your name."
Amen.
Amen.
