Let me be clear: the upcoming elections — including the November midterms — present a defining choice for our nation.
When political opposition moves beyond policy disagreement and becomes rooted in obstruction, distortion, and ideological hostility toward a sitting president, the American people must take notice. At some point, this ceases to be about party preference and becomes about principle.
During the president’s recent address to Congress, Americans were given a rare and revealing moment. President Trump issued a simple invitation:
“The first duty of the American government is to protect American citizens, not illegal aliens.”
He asked members of Congress to stand if they agreed with that fundamental premise.
What followed was not a procedural maneuver. It was a statement. In full view of the country, almost all Democrats chose to remain seated.
That moment was not about theatrics. It was about priorities. The moment was revealing for Americans.
We live in a constitutional republic. We elect representatives to safeguard the interests of their constituents and uphold the rule of law. The oath of office is not symbolic — it is solemn:
“I do solemnly swear (or affirm) that I will support and defend the Constitution of the United States against all enemies, foreign and domestic…”
That oath binds members of Congress to the Constitution and to the citizens they serve — not to party loyalty, not to personal ambition, and not to ideological movements.
When elected officials appear unwilling to affirm that protecting American citizens is the government’s first duty, voters are right to question whether representation has been replaced by resistance and to vote accordingly.
This is not an isolated incident. Across issue after issue — border security, crime, national sovereignty, and foreign policy — Democrats have positioned themselves in reflexive opposition to President Trump, even when the policies in question align with the safety and prosperity of the American people.
President Trump has made no apologies for placing American interests first. Whether one agrees with every method or not, his central premise has been clear: government should work for its citizens.
The question before voters now is equally clear: Who will strengthen that mission, and who will obstruct it? Democrats have chosen to obstruct it.
If we believe in a government that protects its people, enforces its laws, and prioritizes national strength, then we cannot be passive observers in this midterm election.
Analysts may say the odds are difficult. But as Scripture reminds us in Romans 8:31, “If God is for us, who can be against us?”
Faith, however, is not passive. It requires action.
Pray – Vote – Engage – Encourage others to participate.
If you are an independent voter and wish to have a voice in a primary election, consider your options carefully. Do not allow labels to silence your influence.
The future of this republic depends not on outrage, but on participation.
If our elected officials fail to represent the will and security of the American people, then it is our responsibility — peacefully, lawfully, and constitutionally — to replace them.
The time is now.
