I know that volunteer spirit in our society is on the wane, so we knew we had an uphill battle to climb. However, trying to get people to show up for the shifts that they signed up for and do some work has been next to pulling teeth. My bias for candidates is pretty clear, but that aside for a minute, apply this to any campaign or cause. Just because you’re called a volunteer doesn’t make the job you signed up to do any less important. There is so much to be done and only 13 days to do it in. No matter which side you’re on, this is a chance to make history! Get excited.
I can’t begin to understand the ammount of apathy in the young people I talk to. Is it a failing on behalf of the system, education, the parents? I don’t know. I do know, however, that therre are far too many people in this country who think their vote doesn’t count….who think that politics don’t effect them. What? With all the current crisis int he political world having a DIRECT effect on our daily lives, I would think it would extremely evident now, more than ever.
Please, please, please people….its only a few days of your life. Sign up, make phone calls, knock on doors….have an effect, make a difference! Every vote counts. No matter your age group, you have a stake in this election….whether your retired and worrying about the financial market or your young and worried about your financial aid (or possibly being drafted)…..get out there and make a difference.
Yard signs don’t win elections….volunteers do!
