Learn about the people you're voting for. Don't half 🍑 it. Here's a notion doc that outlines every office up for election in my district: https://lnkd.in/gbGY5tCC I intentionally left out the party affiliation. If you care that much, I think you're doing it wrong. But that's on you. Not in my area? Steal my prompt (in the notes), plug it into Perplexity.ai, and make your own list. Not sure when/where to vote? Use https://lnkd.in/gZr4ueEV to find out.

Don’t let lack of time be your excuse for not making your voice heard during this election. Mark your calendars now for when in person early-voting starts in your area. Below are a few starting dates for select states. If you don’t see your state noted below, contact your state or local election office to find out if your state offers early voting and when.

Here are some tips to ensure you are ready to vote: 1. Check Your Voter Registration: Confirm that you’re registered to vote, and that your details (like address) are current. 2. Know Your Polling Location: Find out where you’ll be voting on Election Day or check if early voting is available in your area. 3. Research Early Voting or Absentee Ballots: If you can’t vote in person, request an absentee ballot or look into early voting options. 4. Set Reminders: Mark the election date on your calendar and set multiple reminders to give yourself time. 5. Prepare Identification: Some areas require a specific form of ID to vote. Make sure you have it ready. 6. Educate Yourself: Learn about the candidates and issues on the ballot ahead of time. 7.

Democracy is the backbone of any free society, and protecting it should always be a priority. Irrespective of political beliefs, it's essential to support leaders who respect democratic norms and uphold the rule of law. Leadership is not just about policy—it's about character and values. Trump’s actions and rhetoric, as you've pointed out, raise concerns about his respect for democratic institutions and the safety of citizens. It's crucial that we engage in conversations about leadership based on integrity and commitment to democratic principles, rather than personal gains or partisanship. Voting is a powerful tool. It’s the best way to ensure that our voices are heard in shaping the future. Are we, as citizens, truly holding our leaders accountable for their actions? How do we balance freedom and security in times of political uncertainty? #DemocracyMatters #VoteForChange #PoliticalAccountability

Thursday Thoughts | Choices "If you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice." These lyrics from the song "Freewill" by Rush speak to a lot of different scenarios. Today, I want to consider them in the context of the next U.S. general election. Please get out and vote. ✅ As election cycles come and go, we have more and more access that makes it easier to cast your ballot. Please don't let busyness be your excuse. There are early voting options (including Saturday in many places) and there are absentee options (I believe Oct 31st is the deadline to request mail-in ballots). Of course, there is always Election Day voting. 👍 Life is full of choices. We make them multiple times each day. Please make an intentional and conscious choice to exercise this important civic duty. Vote. Create your life. 🍨 #leadershipdevelopment #personaldevelopment #personalimprovement #createyourlife #bestisyettocome ✅ Ring my 🔔 for notifications of new posts. ✅ Review my previous #ThursdayThoughts (https://bit.ly/thu-tht).

I never blog about politics (you probably hear enough from other sources) so I’m not going to start. But I am going to say a word about voting. We’ve reached the point where the airwaves are saturated with political ads. Why? I think I know. I looked into the last two US Senate runoffs in Georgia. They involved only two candidates each time, so no other race was bringing people to the polls. The first runoff in 2020 generated nearly 4.5 million total votes. The second runoff race in 2022 generated 3.5 million votes. I know 2022 was a mid-term election, but nearly 1 million fewer voters! Really? There were more than 7.8 million registered Georgia voters that year. I think they’re shoving those ads down our throats trying to yell loud enough to reach those 3 million people who are registered but not inspired to actually vote. Those ads might be having the same effect as that old wireless phone commercial that ran, and ran, and ran. I was so sick of it - I wouldn’t consider buying their product. Please don’t do that with your vote. It’s your right and your responsibility. #VotingMatters #VoterAwareness #YourVoteCounts #deepthoughts
