Register someone to vote!

10/25/2016

Be brave and take a position. If you don't like the candidates, think... what did YOU do over the last FOUR years to promote your ideal candidate?

MANY people who have worked on elections made sacrifices, worked for free, dealt with drama, used precious time, energy, money, and resources, and lost precious moments with family and friends.

MANY people became sick, depressed, lost life-long friendships, jobs, family connections, and put their personal goals on the back-burner to help with this election.

So when you say that you don't NEED to vote because it's "your right," that's true, but as a patriot, where is the notion that it's "your duty" to participate in the process by voting?

Have faith in our long-standing political system, get out there, and .

American G.I. Forum: Just learned about this organization...volunteering here I come!

It was established in Corpus Christi, the seat of Nueces County, Texas, on March 26, 1948 by Dr. Hector P. Garcia to address the concerns of Mexican-American veterans, who were segregated from other veterans groups. Initially formed to request services for World War II veterans of Mexican descent who were denied medical services by the United States Department of Veterans Affairs, the AGIF soon spread into non-veteran's issues such as voting rights, jury selection, and educational desegregation, advocating for the civil rights of all Mexican Americans. Today, the AGIF advocates on behalf of all Hispanic veterans.

*EARLY VOTING ANYWHERE FROM 8:00 am - 4:30 am UNTIL THIS FRIDAY*
FIND YOUR VOTING LOCATION: http://www.harrisvotes.com/

Don't forget that there is more on the ballot than Presidential Candidates. Do you think you're prepared for what you'll see? Do you know what the OFFICES are, who the PLAYERS are, what they STAND FOR, what is the Metro Referendum, what are the pros and cons to PROPOSITION 1 &
2, WHAT are the pros and cons to PROPOSITION A-E? I did a ton of research FOR you! :-)

HERE'S WHAT YOU'LL SEE ON THE BALLOT (be prepared): Proposition 1 & 2; Proposition A-E; Presidential; U.S. Senators; U.S. Representatives; Railroad Commissioner; Justice Texas Supreme Court; Court of Criminal Appeals Judges; State Board of Education; TEXAS Senator; TEXAS Representative; Court of Appeals Justices; Civil Distric Court Judges; Criminal District Court; District Attorney; County Court at Law Judges; County Attorney; Sheriff; County Tax Assessor; County School Trustee; County Commissioner; Justice of the Peace; Constable; Metro Referendum Election; Council Member, District E.

The candidates running for office are closer to home for each of us. They are the ones who govern, enforce, promote laws/regulations/monies/etc. that affect ALL of us DIRECTLY (i.e. abortion, local taxes, school funding, safety, improvements)
