You voted

"[W]e as Christians, out of love for God and our neighbors, must stay involved in the political process."  If you are an American and you voted three days ago, then, well done.  As the late Chuck Colson said, it's part of your Christian duty to be a good citizen.

It's part of that duty to speak up locally, to be "salt and light" on your community boards and commissions - "in other words, [among y]our neighbors! People we can relate to and care for and persuade."

"Poverty, prisoners, community brokenness, education problems—these things won’t be solved by another government program, but by Christians living redemptively in our own neighborhoods and our towns."

(From an excellent article by John Stonestreet at breakpoint.org)
