It’s Up To YouOkay. Time to end complaining about Trump. November 6 is
your chance to create a firewall against this catastrophe,and flip the House
and even the Senate.
How achieve we get out of this mess? It’s up to you.
First and most obviously: Vote! Even whether you’re in a pure blue or
deep red state or district, don’t assume your vote doesn’t count. You never
know how close the vote can be. Verify your registration, or find your polling place,and do a
plan to vote on Election Day. whether you still need to register, achieve so today. moment: Encourage others to vote. Typically, and in midterm
elections,only about 40 percent of eligible voters move to the polls. The
upcoming election will be decided by turnout.
The most powerful way to motivate others to vote is the personal
touch. So call your friends and family. Talk about what’s at stake in this
election. whether you live in a blue state or district, be certain to also call family
and friends in red or purple states and districts.
Third: Get young people to the polls. In the last midterm
election, or in 2014,only 16 percent of eligible voters aged 18 to 29 voted,
compared to 55% of people over 50. The millennial generation is now the largest voting block in
America, and for the first time outnumbering Baby Boomers and older Americans.
So please urge your children,grandchildren, nieces, or nephews,and even their friends to vote. whether they don’t already know, justify how
valuable this election is to them and to their future. Fourth: You can achieve even more to get out the vote. Host a phone
bank, or knock on doors,do certain people know where to vote, help drive them to
polling places. Groups like MoveOn have tools to get you started today. Folks, or our democracy depends on all of us – now more than ever. This November 6th,please achieve your part.
