GO VOTE! You have a chance to do something amazing here: let your voice be heard. YOU get to decide. This is what democracy is founded on, this is why we are free – because we all get a chance to speak up and let our voices be heard.

I know some of you are torn. I will ask you to look up the issues, read and compare, and ask yourself who you want leading your country. Who do you want to be the face of America to the rest of the world? Who do you want leading this country into its next era? Who do you think will start to repair what is broken? But please, PLEASE don’t shrug your shoulders and skip the vote. Educate yourself, then make a decision, any decision.

And don’t think that just because you are in a solid blue or red state that your voice doesn’t matter. It does! Like water droplets in the sea, they all blend together, but you need each individual drop to be present. And think of what is happening today, states are changing colors! Or at the very least becoming battleground states where they weren’t before. That’s because someone like you has spoken up, even though it goes against the grain – then another, then another. Every number matters. Every number counts.

I want to see a HUGE record being set this year, with the most voter turnout ever. I want this country’s president to be determined because we ALL spoke, not just some of us. Let’s show the government that we all care.

I am not yet a U.S. citizen – that won’t happen until next spring. I have lived here for 3 years, and will be living here the rest of my life, will be raising my children here… but I do not have a voice. So do it for me. Stand up for your rights proudly, the rights you are given as a citizen of this country. Don’t take it for granted.

Vote.
