Duty to Heaven and Country

"Should I keep back my opinions at such a time [as this] through fear of giving offense, I should consider myself as guilty as treason towards my country, and of an act of disloyalty toward the Majesty of Heaven, which I revere above all earthly kings." Patrick Henry (1775)

Henry's words are wise counsel.  We have a duty, even when we are reluctant, even at great personal risk, to share our opinions on important matters.   Our liberty, our country, and our Creator, deserve it.
