1 in 3 Voters don’t vote. That's about 25 million people. By participating in local and national elections, you play a crucial role in shaping the community in which you live, ensuring that it reflects your values and priorities.
Why Voting Matters Nationally!
You might think that your vote doesn’t matter. What do you say to people that are uncomfortable voting for one of the two choices we have for presidents?
In a national election, usually we have a binary choice. We have A and B. To make no choice is to make a choice. If you say, I’m just not voting, you have surrendered any voice you have. In national elections, it’s not about personality, but about policy. One party supports abortion up to the ninth month, redefined marriage, and gender modification for children. Be informed enough to know what the platforms are and then stop the nonsense about personalities. - Pastor Allen Jackson, senior pastor of World Outreach Church
