"Let each citizen remember at the moment he is offering his vote that he is not making a present or a compliment to please an individual -- or at least that he ought not so to do; but that he is executing one of the most solemn trusts in human society for which he is accountable to God and his country." --Samuel Adams (1781)
This is a sacred trust that we share and give to those whom we are electing. It is of eternal consequence to see that we uphold those oaths with solemnity.
