Vote 2014

[Al Skierkiewicz]

I was reminded yesterday by a radio newscast here, how important it is to vote. Al Franken, Democratic Senator from Minnesota, won an election by only 300 votes. What is more important is the support we receive from Senator Fanken in Minnesota. He asks that his staff schedule visits with robotics teams in the state when he is traveling around. He has been to several Minnesota events and loves the program. Al sees the benefits to the students in his state. With the help of other volunteers in Minnesota, there will be close to 200 teams in Minnesota this year. A number that exceeds the number of varsity men's hockey teams in that state.
A smart person once told me, "if you don't vote, you get the government you deserve."

I just voted at my new location. I've voted 8 times in the past and this is the first time I've had to use a ... paper ballot

Quick facts:

2,700+
2,300+ veterans
400+ rookies
68,000+ students
16,000+ mentors/adult
11,000+ other volunteers

If 10% of total number is from other countries, these numbers do matter, especially in the non-Presidential elections. Many times its local politics is the reason for school districts losing funds! Local issues and priorities push education funding to bottom.

Just VOTE! Please.

This is your reminder that more than 660,000 American citizens have no vote in Congress just because they live in DC. We need those of you with Congresscritters and Senators to support our quest to end our disenfranchisement. #taxationwithoutrepresentation
