“Voting is an empowered opportunity to choose leadership. I was taught as a child the importance of voting. It was instilled in me by my mother and father. However, America is far too often plagued with low voter turnout and apathy in elections that impact lives on the local, state and federal levels. Here are a few things we must consider as we embark on another voting cycle in the city of Houston.
VALUE: The cost has been too great; and the opportunity too precious for us to not be involved in the election process. As we take a brief look at the history of voting in America, we can clearly see that the right to vote came at a great price and sacrifice. The opportunity to vote came at too great a cost for us to simply sit back and neglect our freedom to choose those who govern our city.
VISION: If you want the vision you have to come to pass; the vision that you see for yourself and your children; then you must participate in the voting process and elect the officials who most closely represent the vision and values that you desire for you and your family. The collective voice is a powerful equalizer in elections – especially in local elections.
VOICE: There are those who will not vote; but will be the first and loudest to complain – don’t be like them! Let your voice be heard loudest at the ballot box on Election Day! And go out and vote for what your parents; grandparents and countless others have stood for and endured to gain you this valuable opportunity!
And please don’t take the sacrifice that has been made for us for granted. It only takes a few minutes to have your voice heard. So please make a difference with your vote; because every vote does indeed count.
VICTORY: When you’ve participated in the process by communicating, calling, voting and encouraging others you will have great joy in the Election Day victory. I use to take my father and mother to the polls as soon as they were open. My father would then go home and watch the news results all day. No matter what the outcome of the election…you could hear my dad celebrating his one vote. My dad felt that his one vote actually made a difference – and I feel the same way. Win or lose, celebrate your one vote! We’re a team! So let’s use our collective voice; and our civil right to vote. We hold the power to choose who will win on Tuesday, November 5, 2013.
Remember that your vote is VALUABLE. Go out and participate in the VISION. Choose this opportunity to BE HEARD. Embrace the freedom of being involved in the PROCESS. Cast your vote and BE THE DIFFERENCE. And remember that every vote counts and YOUR CANDIDATE NEEDS YOUR VOTE TO WIN!”
Sincerely,
