Voting
is the tool citizens use to select leaders and to hold them accountable. When
that tool is not used, when only a few citizens elect leaders and a large number
of Americans do not participate in elections, the future of our democracy is
threatened. The more we express our values and concerns through voting, the
better our elected leaders will be able to represent us. Therefore we urge
each eligible person to either register to vote, encourage a friend to register
to vote, and above all, on election day get out and vote!
