Minnesota Primary Election 08/11/2020
Today is Primary Election Day in Minnesota. Your vote counts. Use it.
Today is the most important vote in your life. There may not be another free election after today. The President is doing his best to ensure there won’t be.
Voting is our most important right. It is our opportunity to participate in governing ourselves.
Some say that its pointless to vote, the game is rigged, or they’re all the same. None of which is true.
Today the game is not rigged. But after today its another story.
No, they are not all the same. Public service is an honorable calling. We honor our military for their willingness to serve for us. So too, for emergency medical teams, firemen, health care workers, police, social workers, and teachers. There are many people in our society who have chosen to work in areas that protect us and improve our lives. This is true for public servants, whether they work in government offices like the Post Office or are elected to Public Office.
The people in office are the direct result of our exercising our right and responsibility to vote. Someone once said that the, “People get the Government they deserve.” That’s true if we don’t vote. The President and his Administration are an example. We did not exercise our judgement. We failed to exercise our vote and we can see what has happened.
Every vote is critical. Particularly now when there is an effort to smother democracy and our voices.
If you are hesitating or pretending you can’t find the time, Stop. Get Moving. Our Nation and our Democracy need you desperately. To find your polling station use Minnesota Polling Place Finder.
The polls are open until 8:00 pm. Take your mask and get going.
If you have an absentee Mail-In Ballot get it mailed NOW. It counts so long as it’s postmarked August 11th.
This could be the last free election in our lifetimes. Use your vote while you can. If you don’t, there won’t be another.
