Why Should I Vote?

Did you know that:

 

• Some elections are won by only a few votes.

• Pennsylvania is very important in U.S. elections.

• Dozens of Lansdowne residents work hard before, during, and after every election to make sure they are fair.

 

If you vote, you get to complain about the government.  If you don’t, you’ve got no right to complain.  Use your right to complain:  USE YOUR RIGHT TO VOTE!

 

Men and women have died for the right to vote.  Our service members put their lives on the line to protect OUR freedom to vote.

 

Politicians make decisions impacting YOUR life and the lives of your family and friends:

     how much you’ll pay in taxes

     how much money public schools have

     whether or not our country goes to war

     which immigrants can or can’t stay in this country

     how affordable your health care will be

     how fair the justice system is

     how polluted the water and air are

     how seniors citizens are doing

     how hard it is to make a living

     whether college or trade school is affordable

     whether our roads, bridges, and railways are safe

Why vote?  

Because it’s in your own self-interest,

it’s smart,

it helps your community,

and it’s the Lansdowne thing to do.
