Freedom

What we do now matters!

We are all that stands between a free future, and an authoritarian abyss.

There is no hyperbole to this statement.

We are freedom’s last defense.

We must understand what is at stake.

There is no one who can pick it up, if we drop it.

You have a chance, a sacred duty, to cast one of the most consequential votes in history.

Cynicism will be the death of our freedom.

Denounce cynicism, and the cynics.

Embrace democracy, and a free future.

Vote like all that you hold dear depends on it,

Because, in truth, it does.
