Quote #1261 - #GettheVoteOut

26 Oct, 2026

GET THE VOTE OUT

"Democracy cannot succeed unless those who express their choice are prepared to choose wisely. The real safeguard of democracy, therefore, is education."
Franklin Delano Roosevelt

"Have you ever stopped to ponder the amount of blood spilt, the volume of tears shed, the degree of pain and anguish endured, the number of noble men and women lost in battle so that we as individuals might have a say in governing our country? Honor the lives sacrificed for your freedoms. Vote."
Richelle E. Goodrich

"Every election is determined by the people who show up."
Larry J. Sabato

I'll still write my traditional Who-inspired voting ditty
for next Monday,
but voting is happening already
all over the country
and so here is today's message:
Vote, vote early, encourage others to vote.
The situation--as you know--is dire.
It's never been more critical.
Every vote makes a difference, even when it seems not to.

My personal effort to get that vote out is
Women+ on the Edge of Democracy
part of a country-wide effort of new short play readings
to stir thought and votes.
Go to their website to find a reading near you this week.
Our six plays are being read this Wednesday at Manhattan University--
reach out if you need more info.
Read all about us in Broadway World.
Come if you can.

And vote!
