People of faith have a responsibility to their children, to their neighbors and to their God to proactively assert righteous principles both in political discourse and participating in their communities. The division caused by debating doctrinal differences is long past now that the adversary is coordinating efforts to mitigate the positive influence of a person with faith. Our responsibility is to make a stand using gentle, loving, wise and thoughtful words. We need not go down the path of hatred, but instead it is our pleasure to travel a high road of solidarity.
