Election outcome determines future

Although our two major political parties seem similar in many ways and the process seems frustrating enough to justify 'dropping out” of elections altogether, this particular election will determine the future of our country based on the two issues which truly do separate us.

We need to address our environmental concerns. Now, not later.

Our personal choices on birth control and terminating pregnancies are tops on the Republican agenda. Every vote for a Republican, this time around, is a deliberate vote for criminalizing abortion. Every vote not cast, is a vote for the Republican mission of making women criminals for making personal health decisions that are not the government's business.

This midterm election is crucial in many ways. Please vote. Please prioritize these issues and vote for Democrats.
