Why this book? Why now?
All elections matter. Democracies depend on an engaged citizenry. We all know people who don’t vote because they are alienated from society, or think their votes do not count, or are simply not engaged, lazy or bored with life. If you do care about what happens to your future, your children’s future and the future health of the natural world in which we live, then it’s up to you to convince your family, friends and neighbors to take an interest in the election at hand, and more importantly, to take the time and energy required to get out of bed on November 4 and go vote.
Talk about the issues. There are many. Almost all of them are covered in this book, and much more information is available on our website. Join discussion groups, either online or in your community. Tell everyone you know:
THIS ELECTION MATTERS MORE THAN ANY ELECTION YOU HAVE EVER BEEN ALIVE FOR.
Vote to Save the Planet gives you a succinct and handy guide to all the issues that matter most. Use it to help talk and write about them in the days ahead. Get excited, get involved, make a difference. Every vote will count; not voting is a silence we cannot accept. No voter can afford to go unheard and uncounted and none of us can afford to let the votes we need to get away – or to be taken away by fraud or subversion.
This project came about because as citizens of the US and the planet, we felt we needed to speak up. We hope anyone who visits this website, or who reads our book will agree with us, and do whatever you can to make a difference. We need real leadership for real change. It’s time to begin.
