In thinking about what to post here for Halloween this year, I ran across this picture, and it seemed to speak to me the loudest.
Midterm elections are around the corner, less than a week away. Have a safe and joyous Hallowed Eve tonight with your friends, family, neighbors, or young'uns.... And next week, go out, be an active & concerned citizen, show up, vote for what's important to you.
With Veteran's Day right around the corner after Election Day, it may be a good way to thank that Veteran who fought on your behalf, for your freedom, for your rights. Fought against the racial hierarchy of Nazism, fought for equality, fought to protect and defend our constitution, and fought to protect us from tyranny.
Voter turnout for presidential elections are notoriously low... even worse for midterm elections. For the presidential election in 2016 I did a tech “voter turnout” activity with the 3rd Grade. I was shocked by the numbers who turn out across both parties every 4 years for our presidential elections: range 49% — 62% (from the last 100 years).
My hope: we have motivated people who show up.
If you are on the fence. Vote.
If you are satisfied. Vote.
If you are dissatisfied. Vote.
If you care for the environment. Vote
If you are concerned. Vote.
Enjoy your Halloween tonight... but next week: Vote!
