Mormon Women for Ethical Government: “The salvation of the state is watchfulness in the citizen.”

"This quote, coined by Nebraska Philosophy Professor Hartley Burr Alexander, is a solemn reminder that the responsibility for safeguarding our representative democracy does not lie solely in the hands of those who work within our government edifices."

"Instead, it is up to those who elected our public servants -- all of us -- to ensure that our democratic institutions and principles are protected."

"As citizens, it is not in our interest to remain uninformed. As constituents armed w/the facts of the Mueller report we can hold our leaders accountable & require them to uphold their oaths of office to “support & defend the Constitution against all enemies foreign & domestic.”

"We should be asking our senators and representatives if they have read the report or if they, too, have fallen into the trap of relying on political commentary and partisan talking points."

"We should also be asking what they have done or will do to ensure that our country is protected from future election interference & unethical behavior."

The “salvation” of our great nation is truly under our purview. It’s time for us to shed any partisan labels in favor of facts & truth."
