Some Christian friends have tried to tell us that our focus is wrong, that we are commanded to submit to those in authority

But if a Christian is elected to office, s/he IS the authority. In fact, as voting citizens each of us already has a certain share of governing authority -- a stewardship for which God will hold us accountable.

You might want to make this point to them.

Thank you, friend! Very good point!
