I had some hesitation about writing this one as Masons do not generally discuss politics.
Then, I decided that Masons SHOULD affect change when affecting change hinges upon matters of Justice or Fairness.
Now, having stated that, I would never tell anyone HOW to vote (i.e. which political party to support) because, as a political science student I do understand that persons feel strongly about which side administers fairness and justice in the best manner, and as a Mason, I generally prohibit myself from discussing items along party lines and I attempt to treat my daily conversations regarding politics and religion as if I am in Lodge...because I AM in Lodge as the Universe is every Mason's Lodge room.
I ramble.
Here is the text from Albert Pike's Magnum Opus I read, no additions or paraphrasing:
" Be faithful to your country, and prefer its dignity and honor to any degree of popularity and honor for yourself, consulting its interest rather than your own, and rather than the pleasured gratification of the people, which is often at variance to their own welfare."
From Magnum Opus by Albert Pike (from the 4th degree (Secret Master) lecture).
