Your VOTE Is Your VOICE - Make Sure You Are Heard!
People complain over and over again about what’s wrong in our society and what politicians are doing and not doing to, or for, the community and their constituents. People complain about the injustices within the criminal justice system and schools that are graduating students who are under educated and therefore unemployable. From barbershops to beauty shops, from bridge clubs to social clubs, from fraternities to sororities, people grumble, mumble and complain over and over again about what’s wrong in our society. But what would happen if everyone who complained actually went out and voted? If only 20-30% of registered voters actually vote, do you think only 20-30% of registered voters actually complain? The sad truth is I believe there are more people who could vote and don’t than those who actually do vote, and if you can vote and don’t you shouldn’t complain. Bad officials and policies are allowed to remain in place when good citizens don’t vote.
In 1981 Pres. Ronald Reagan said, “For this nation to remain true to it’s principles, we cannot allow any American’s vote to be denied, diluted or defiled.” Perhaps the greatest tragedy in our society is the fact that too many people render their right to vote impotent by not exercising that right.
We turn out most to vote for a presidential election, but the results of our state, county and city elections, both primary and general, are more important to your day-to-day existence than any national election because our local public servants will directly impact you, your family and your friends. School board members can decide the quality of your child’s education or whether your neighborhood school remains open or closes. Local judges will rule on cases in your community. Community college board members will decide on many of the post-secondary educational opportunities for our young adults. Your Justice of the Peace will decide if local residents are evicted or will have another opportunity to stay in their homes. Local elections matter. Your vote matters.
From the lack of economic development and job creation to public safety, healthcare and public education, people want something better. You want something better, and the way to begin bringing about change is to get involved and vote.
In 1965 Pres. Lyndon B. Johnson said, “The vote is the most powerful instrument ever devised by man for breaking down injustice and destroying the terrible walls which imprison men because they are different from other men.”
Voting works. If voting didn’t work there would be no women’s rights, no public schools, no minimum rage, no Civil Rights Act, no Social Security, no Medicare, no Medicaid, no workers compensation, no environmental laws, and no health insurance. The fact is voting makes a difference. Your vote makes a difference, so get out and vote. As Mahatma Gandhi admonished, “Be the change that you wish to see in the world,” and the change you want to see should first be shown in how you vote. YOUR VOTE IS YOUR VOICE! Let your voice be heard by making sure you GO AND VOTE!

Voting Should Be a Family Affair
Over time, I’ve wondered who’s really to blame for the lack of true progress in our country. Is it our governing leadership – whom some have called out on numerous occasions to be incompetent, unconcerned, greedy slackers? Or is it us?
If this is truly a country that’s, "of the people, for the people, and by the people", then I have to go with "it’s us" and admit that lack of progress is a reflection of our own making. To admit this brings me pain and should you too; to the point of seeking undeniable resolve.
To understand that the image of our government, and the progressive production of our country is in our hands, and then for us to not strive corporately to implement that which can make it a beautiful successful item, is likened to parents starving the children they’ve been given and then expecting for those children to achieve excellence to the point of causing the household to rejoice.
It’s in our hands American citizens. We have the power to reform our country into an image we can all be proud to look at and say, yes now that’s me. America we can do this, so let’s stop bashing our governing authority and lets use that energy to focus on getting to the polls to elect those who represent the “true you” and erase what some are calling a false dead beat governing image that stands before us.
Grandparents and parents alike should take all those years of built up frustration and organize a family accountability plan for voting. This plan should be focused on getting our grandchildren and children to realize that they WILL vote, and it is not an option.
We thank God for those who have stepped outside of their call of duty to encourage our families; but enough is enough. Family leaders, we must begin to compel those we have influence over to exercise their right to make an informed voting decision.

Local Dems Need Decisive Action To Avoid GOP Thrashing in 2016 Presidential Election
Recent Primary voting results portend bleak general election outcomes for Democratic candidates in Harris County unless immediate, concerted, comprehensive, effective voter mobilization strategies are implemented. In the March 1st Primary, GOP out-voted Dems by more than 100,000; capturing 15.8% of Harris County’s 2,081,781 registered voters (329,014) compared to Democrat’s 10.9% (226,825), for a GOP voting margin advantage of 102,189.
If local Democratic candidates want to succeed in the Nov. 2016 General election, a serious fire of effective voter engagement and mobilization must be lit under the Harris County Democratic Party as well as all current elected leaders. President Obama’s historically impressive ground game in 2008 has not only proven it can be done, but already provided an easily duplicated blueprint for doing so.
Similarly, the historic national voter mobilization and turnout campaign that I had opportunity to help lead in 2000, resulting in historically high voter turnout across all states, show that voters definitely respond to concerted, effective engagement and mobilization. It’s not rocket science. There simply must be desire, determination, and diligence by Democratic Party, organizations, elected leaders, and/or advocates willing and able to do so. If this doesn’t happen, and soon, many impressive Democratic candidates will lose up and down the ballot simply because of ineffective, inadequate, and/or inexcusable lack of diligence by the Party and its elected leaders. Democracy demands that better effort is made, and Democratic candidates deserve and need better support from the Party in this regard.
President Obama’s campaign has repeatedly shown that with effective strategies, Harris County can indeed prove “Blue” to the benefit and election of Democratic candidates. In the 2008 Primary, the Democratic Party more than doubled GOP’s voter turnout statewide (2,874,986 vs. 1,362,322). Obama garnered 50.4 percent of Harris County vote in 2008, and won reelection in 2012 by narrow margin of 971 votes over Mitt Romney. However, in the 2014 gubernatorial election, GOP bested the county’s Dems with 51% of the vote. Similarly, so far in 2016, GOP is doing much better job mobilizing their voters for advantageous turnout. Harris County Democratic Party and its leaders must spring into action to avoid a looming thrashing come November.
Both the Democratic and Republican Parties have much room for improvement! Voter turnout is inexcusably low compared to registered voters: 16% (2000), 12% (2004), 33% (2008), and 16% (2012). However, Dems are dismally trailing GOP, to the detriment of Democratic candidates, in this exceedingly important 2016 election season. Even some of our most lauded elected leaders have dismally low voter turnout in their respective districts: Carol Alvarado (13.35%); Garnet Coleman (18.10%); Harold Dutton (15.79%); Rodney Ellis (16.58%); Sylvia Garcia (12.84%); Al Green (14.76%); Gene Green (12.84%); Sheila Jackson Lee (15.29%); Borris Miles (17.03%); Senfronia Thompson (13.76%). This can and MUST be easily increased and improved to assure election of Democratic candidates up and down the ballot in November.
An ideal start to ‘right this ship and win the race’ could be for each current elected leader to take responsibility for raising the funds to employ people across their own constituencies to immediately launch and wage an aggressive, strategic voter registration, engagement, and mobilization campaign; with the aim of inspiring and achieving 80 to 100% voter turnout in their respective districts. This will not only improve election outcomes, but also economic and empowerment outcomes across Democratic communities. We Can. We Must. We Will!
