Gavra, the Rema says (Choshen Mishpat 163,1) that whenever there is a disagreement over some public matter each person should give his opinion l’shem Shemayim. His opinion and not his rav’s opinion. L’shem Shemayim and not l’shem interests.

The Rema also says that only those who pay taxes get to vote.

The Gedolim would argue that this is not a Din in Shechenim/Shutfin, but an attempt to squeeze Great Mammon (the “Amud HaOlam”) for Yeshivos out of the Shrekliche Zionists, for which everyone is Mechuyav to join. 🙂
