Your Vote is Your Voice. This is why I feel it is very important to vote in any election.

Democracy is the most empowering form of government because it is, “Of the people, By the people and For the people."

I believe that voting is the basic lifeblood of any democracy, and like individual blood cells, every citizen’s vote is critical to the oxygen that sustains democracy.

The fact is, each individual citizen’s vote counts the same as any other’s vote. Your vote has the same impact as the President’s or any Senator’s or any Fortune 500 CEO’s vote. All are equal at the voting booth.

Participating in this year’s midterm elections can make a real difference in our communities and our country. Your vote is Your Voice. 

And, as musician Patti Smith sang:

“The People have the Power.
The Power to Dream,
 To Rule,
To Wrestle the World from Fools.”

Celebrate democracy on November 3. VOTE!
