Why we vote…

(from members of the All Saints Peace and Justice team, used in 100
handwritten, non-partisan letters we sent in Oct 2024, to help encourage fellow Americans to vote, )

I vote because I love the feeling of being part of the larger community that is letting its voice be heard. I’m also inspired by the many who have made sacrifices to gain the right to vote, so I want to be sure to exercise this right.In addition, I want to do my part to make the world a better place. I believe that together we can do so, and help to protect the planet for future generations. I know my grandkids are counting on us… So please, join me in voting!

I’m voting because I appreciate how America today has become home to so many kinds of people, all of whom deserve a great future. There are my in-laws who adopted a Latino baby and a Black baby and raised them to be smart, caring citizens. There’s my nephew who owns three guns and loves to hunt and fish. I think, too, of my late father, a simple farm boy, who at age 18 put his life on the line in World War II to stop fascism and to the end of his life loved this country and its people. Lastly, I think of my gay son who enjoys a good corn dog and is an A.I. researcher. The America I believe in is what we get when we ADD, rather than subtract our differences, to become a whole. I personally look forward to voting this election to secure the best future for all of us.

I vote because freedom and diversity is the cornerstone of our country. It is the promise of building the life you envision. But we will only keep that freedom by actively participating in our communities and assure each of us continues to be able to build the life we desire. I think of how long we women and people of color waited for the privilege of voting – people who were NOT seen and NOT heard – made to feel less than. Equal rights, equal opportunities, and having my voice heard is why I vote.

I vote because the alternatives are terrible. I was born in Macon, Georgia, where my father was in training with the army. When he returned after three years of fighting in Asia during World War II, he dedicated the rest of his life to limiting the spread of authoritarianism. I was thus steeped in the importance of the vote as a way to continue
Democracy. It is the only means we have to address issues of importance to us. So please join me in voting!

 I vote because I remember the first time I voted 66 years ago.  It was a time of excitement and feeling that I really had a voice, even a little one, in this great big country of ours.  Having lived in an authoritarian country as a kid, I have experienced violent upheavals and oppressive military style government in the form of revolutions. My vote can count toward a government that believes in freedom to build a life of kindness, justice and equal rights and opportunities for all.

I vote because being a good citizen and voting are among my core values. I am a military veteran and so were my father, grandfather and great-grandfather. We served to keep our country strong and safe, including protecting our right to vote.In the upcoming election, please vote. And vote for those candidates that express the values that are most closely aligned to your own. And never doubt that your vote is powerful. Your vote is your voice. Let it be heard!

Why I vote – When I became an adult back in 1978, it was still very hard for women to get any form of financial credit (credit card, car loan) without a husband or male relative to sign papers for them. And people in my family faced terrible discrimination based on skin color and some had to hide who they loved. We have made some progress since then and I don’t want to go back! We still have much more work to do. So this November I will vote for hope, for going forward. I will vote for my neighbors and community and a country that is for ALL of its citizens. I will vote for care of the earth. Please join me in voting!

THANK YOU FOR BEING A VOTER!
