What YOU can do now:
I Will Vote Because …
A vote is like a prayer! Raphael Warnock
It’s my right. It’s my duty. It’s my privilege! It’s how it pay it back and how I pay it forward! My blessing.
Save Democracy
Because we earned this right. It was a fight to gain this right.
I want to be treated fair and equal. Not to be judged by race!
I want to preserve democracy for all.
Because I am a citizen of the US, and it is my right.
Since I was eligible to vote, I have voted in every election.
Voting is the one opportunity every American citizen has to be a part of our democracy.
If people stop voting, we will lose our democracy.
Our democracy is currently in extreme jeopardy and every citizen at the very least must vote.
I respect the rights of the majority not the minority.
It’s my right as an American citizen. It’s my duty to vote because there were people who died for my freedom and privilege to vote as a woman and a woman of color.
The country needs an infusion of common sense, morality, respect for law for our nearly 250 years of democracy.
Politicians should not control women’s bodies.
Our confidential documents should not be archived in Mar-a-largo.
We need sensible gun control legislation by Federal Gov’t.
I want to have a say in my government on issues they decide that affect me.
I want to elect people who will represent me and not just lobbyists or mega donors.
When I was 18, people who initially did not have a right to vote were being sent to die in Viet Nam. It was 1971 before people under 21 could vote. The average age of a soldier in Viet Nam was 19.
I owe it to the next generation to try to leave them a democracy so their voices can also continue to be heard.
People in the past suffered so I could have the right to vote. I owe them votes.
Finally, because it is my responsibility as a citizen, a mother, a community member and my father’s daughter. It is what I have always done and plan to do until I die.
It is a right I’ve earned as a responsible citizen.
It’s also a privilege I should never take for granted (as many people in this world are not so fortunate.)
Democrats MUST hold onto the HOUSE as well as the SENATE or else the work of the Jan. 6 committee will be voted away. All the work Biden has done to turn our country around and make America TRULY great again will be manipulated to the Republican advantage. They are great at taking credit for the things they voted against.
I am a citizen of America who recognizes that it is my civic duty to do so. I am going to vote because my vote makes a difference, and because I am a change agent.
Because it’s a privilege and a joy to exercise my civic duty.
Democracy is in jeopardy.
The extremism of the MAGAGOP is tearing this country apart.
It is our duty to vote.
Generations before me bought HARD so I could have the right, privilege, and responsibility to vote and I will NEVER take it for granted.!!

WE NEED PRECINCT PRESIDENTS!
Precincts are the backbone of the Democratic Party. Precinct presidents are the “boots on the ground” soldiers who get information to the rest of us. Living in neighborhoods with other precinct members, the presidents have a more specific knowledge of their member needs.
Precinct President Sign Up
Your help is needed to organize every precinct. This will help the Democratic Party expand the electorate, identify volunteers, and build a community among Democrats in your neighborhood. To do this, we need your help. We have several precincts across McCormick County not currently organized: Bethany, Plumb Branch, Parksville, Clarks Hill, Modoc.
