| 0:00.0 | Welcome to the intersection of faith and culture. Thanks for joining us today on the |
| 0:10.2 | Wallbuilder Show website is wallbuilders. Show. I bet you've missed a show or two. So you've got to go to |
| 0:15.5 | wallbuilders.com. Catch up on the programs. You might have missed some great interviews or some of |
| 0:19.5 | other Good News Friday programs, Foundations of Freedom Thursday, which is what we'll be doing today. And then |
| 0:24.3 | if you've got some questions, maybe you've got some things you want, David or Tim, to address, send |
| 0:27.5 | those to radio at wallbuilders.com. It's radio at wallbuilders.com. And Daryl's got the first one that |
| 0:33.5 | was sent in here. And he says, what does this phrase mean in the Constitution? The phrase is this, |

| 1:21.2 | states if you're able to vote for the representative in the state house then you're also able to vote for a representative |
| 1:29.3 | to Congress from that state. So all it takes to be a representative, all it takes to vote at the |
| 1:35.0 | federal level is to be able to vote at the state level. And if you can vote, if you're a legal |
| 1:39.2 | voter at the state level, then you're a legal voter at the federal level. It has the same |
| 1:43.9 | requirements, and that's the bottom level. It has the same requirements, |
