This is an interim post while I complete the propaganda post I promised you; not forgotten, just taking longer than I expected to make sure it’s a good, solid post.
So I have gotten several text messages urging me to register to vote because I’ve been purged from the voter rolls in my two previous locations. I think this is GREAT! I’ve thanked them each time for their efforts.
I know many of you will feel that your vote is not important. Yes, one vote is a small thing, but it’s also an action you can take. You might not like the choices, but it’s still an action you can take. There are other actions to take, but voting is the easy one, the no-brainer. You can just get the form and fill it in, or, if you dare, go to the polling place and do it in person. And remember that it’s not just about the presidential election. In fact, though that election is important, more change happens from local efforts and from the representatives we choose.
Those of us who live here, in the US, as well as citizens living abroad have only a few obligations to our country. One of them is to vote. If you don’t vote, you are choosing to allow others to determine what your future might look like. Your choices may not win, but at least you’ll know it isn’t you that let you down.
Vote. But you don’t have to stop there. Vote and then ACT! Help others vote. Get involved with causes you believe in.
