Reasons to Vote 4
We’ve been knocking on doors asking people if they’re registered to vote and getting people to sign pledge cards that get mailed back to the address listed. Here are a few of the reasons people have given us as to why cast a ballot this fall:
“We need a change! Go vote, Mom!” — Gracie, Greensburg, PA
“The wife will shoot me if I don’t!” — D., Greensburg, PA
“My kids can’t vote yet, and there is no jobs, and minimum wage needs to go up some!” — DeMikea, Pittsburgh, PA
“Mom– Register online!” — Carol, Carnegie, PA
“I’m cool and I’m your best friend. Love, Vickie” — Cassie, Washington, PA
“The economy is dying!!!” — Jowett, Beaver, PA
“As a black female, it’s my constitutional right that so many fought for me to vote.” — Sheila
“Hi man, It may be in your interest to vote this year! Joe.” — Ellen, Allison Park, PA
“I can! I’m angry! I’m broke!” — Raymond, Pittsburgh, PA
“A closed mouth can not speak, my vote is my voice.” — Rashida, Pittsburgh, PA
