In a few days, another presidential election will be in the history books. Millions of people have already voted. If you have already voted, congratulations! You have exercised the most important right and responsibility you have as a citizen of the United States. If you still need to vote, make a plan. You are helping to decide who will be president and who will control congress.

Elections have consequences

You have the power to help decide the quality of life you want for yourself and future generations. Voting is your chance to stand up for the issues you believe in. This is your life; take the time to get educated on the issues and decide who you believe will best represent you.

Not voting is giving up your voice

The percentage of people who choose to vote in the US is lower than in most developed countries. In 2016, 55% of eligible voters went to the polls. Elections are decided by the people who vote. If you don’t vote, someone else will make decisions for you. Your power is in your vote.

It’s your money

What do you want the taxes you pay to be spent on?  Voting is your opportunity to put people in office who believe as you do on public transportation, health care social services, the military…

Voting is an opportunity for change

Voting gives you the opportunity to make a positive impact. Support the candidates who help your community, state, and nation for the greater good. Make your voice heard in these elections.

Your community depends on you

Our communities are made up of friends, neighbors, children, and loved ones. Some may not know how important voting is, others may not have the privilege. Encourage people who question the importance of elections to vote.

Everyone reading this has a hero who crossed an ocean to have the freedom to vote. Honor them.

Vote on or before Tuesday, November 3^rd.
