Can we get some democracy back here, please?
Today, September 22, marks National Voter Registration Day, making it the perfect time to gear up for the November election. Courtesy of the folks over at Amazon, we even have a plan for you. It helps to have those in times of national crisis, like a pandemic.
Sorry, we digress.

How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.
First things first: register to vote. Visit Vote.org for instructions on how to register, request a mail-in ballot or learn voter registration deadlines for your state. It’s fast, easy, and can be done online.
Second, share that link with your friends on social media. Encourage them to register to vote in preparation for November as well.
Third, join the party. In honor of National Voter Registration Day, Amazon will host watch parties and offer free access to its new documentary All In: The Fight for Democracy. The movie follows former Georgia gubernatorial candidate Stacey Abrams as she chronicles the ongoing issue of voter suppression across the nation, the shady ways political parties can impose barriers to disenfranchise certain groups of Americans, and how best to fight back against this infection on our republic. Twitter will also feature a special watch party hosted by Abrams and Lin-Manuel Miranda starting at 4:00pm PT.
So get registered, share and stream. Get motivated. Vote!

Here in Texas if everyone who is eligible to vote actually voted we wouldn’t have Ted Cruz, Dan Patrick and other drump party officials.
The orange idiot wouldn’t stand a chance. The LGBTQ community and the Latino community could throw those idiots out.
Register and vote!!!

So true. If only. I will never understand why so many people do not vote. The right is so organized. I really hope that the LGTBQ community and minorities make the decision to vote no matter what.

I am voting with ballot that I receive in the mail and I will fill in a straight up Democrat list and drive it to the ballot box at the town hall!

If Trump gets in for a second term due to poor voter turn out and laziness then America will truly have the president it deserves.
