An important date is coming up soon. For many of us during this pandemic, the only safe way to vote is by mail. And voting is not just a right or privilege; it’s a necessity if our democracy is to work.
It’s not too early to request a vote-by-mail ballot. Here’s a chart of deadlines for the states so you can submit your request for an absentee/mail-in ballot in plenty of time. Put it on your calendar. Better yet, send in your request today.
Why the &%#*@#!!! do I have to pay Uncle Sam so much in taxes?! This is a common outcry today, the deadline for filing for 2016. I got to thinking, if I paid less–or nothing–what would I be willing to give up? What would not make an important impact on me, my family, and the people of my community? Food for thought for you, too. Take a look at the breakdown for federal spending in 2015 and decide for yourself.
Make sure your voice is heard. If you haven’t yet registered to vote, know that the deadline is coming VERY SOON.
Registration deadlines and requirements vary from state to state. Go to http://www.vote411.org/search-by-topic?topics_tid%5B%5D=62&field_state_tid%5B%5D=8#.VgwP3vlViko and write in your address or state and find out what applies to where you live.
Register + vote = exercising your rights = making a difference in how you are governed.
