Christian Citizenship Ballot

Uncle Sam stands before the United States Capitol, raising his boot against a small figure carrying a placard for “Personal Liberty,” “Free Whiskey,” “Wide Open Town,” and “Licensed Vice.” In his hand is a document marked “Christian Citizenship Ballot,” making the scene a moral and civic allegory about public righteousness, temperance, and the responsibility of believers in civil life. The artwork presents Christian citizenship as an active witness: the ballot becomes a tool for resisting corruption and protecting the common good. Its message reflects biblical teaching that rulers and citizens alike are accountable before God, and that righteousness strengthens a nation while tolerated vice destroys public life. by S. M. Davis
