Class of 2020 Sachse High School
Most young people don ’ t realize the impact that voting can have at the city , state and national level . Young people have a voice , and the worst thing we could do is not use it .
Intervention Specialist Carver Elementary School
There are many reasons we should vote . Through voting , we use our right to decide what policies and issues are important for ourselves and our community . Not voting is like giving up your voice . I encourage everyone to exercise this right and make a difference !
Social Studies Coordinator Teaching & Learning Development
Voting is the most fundamental act of civic participation and the bedrock of our democratic republic . Since the person who wins the election will represent everyone , that person needs to hear our collective voices through the ballot .
Principal Caldwell Elementary School
Our vote is our voice . As an American , voting gives us the opportunity to take a stand in what we believe . Voting also allows us to be a part of electing the people who will represent and serve our community and country .
Superintendent Texas Juvenile Justice Department
We must seize the moment . Our vote means everything as it represents the quality of life we demand for ourselves , our children , our grandchildren and future generations . We can make an impact , and the time is now .
