Election Day.
Make sure you exercise your democratic right and take an active part. If you haven’t returned your ballot make sure you do. If you haven’t voted make sure you do.
Why?
Because people died for you to be able to have a say.
Because this is the American dream.
Because democracy is at stake.
Because a virus is raging, thousands are dying and it didn’t need to be this way.
Because your leaders need to hear from you.
Because there has to be accountability.
Because if you live in Upper Saddle River the Republicans have been in power for years. They had their way, kept information quiet and let things go that resulted in changes in the town that makes it a vastly different place that it was 20 years ago. Because the water in Pleasant Brook is not clear. Because wells are tainted. Because hundreds of trees have been removed. Because they say the taxes are low, and they aren’t. Because they say they have defended the town from high density housing. Because there are more people coming to town that any of us would have ever dreamt. Because they don’t want you – the residents and voters – to know what is actually going on.
Because they really don’t care. Do you?
If you do – Vote!
