I need YOU

I don't plant walnuts on my place for me. I'll be fertilizer long before they're ready to be turned into beautiful wood. I plant them for my grandchildren or somebody else's descendants.

When I vote on November 6, it won't be for me. I'm an old white man out in the middle of nowhere. It will be a long time before the fascists get around to targeting me for disloyalty to the supreme regime. I'll be voting for those who have been, and soon will be, political targets.

It seems to me that people are more motivated to be a voter than they are to vote. On the one hand, you tell someone to "Go vote!" (response might be: Yeah, I know I should vote and I will make time for it this year). On the other, "Are you going to be the voter who gets X done? stops the Y? overturns Z?" (response? I'm for that! I'll help).

I haven't found a way to upload images here, and don't currently have a place to put them for a link, so I'll just describe some signs that came to mind:

{white letters, blue background}
I need
YOU {about 1.5 times larger}
to VOTE
AGAINST {black letters, red background}
CHILDREN
IN CAGES

I need
YOU
to VOTE
AGAINST
POLLUTION
FOR PROFIT

I need
YOU
to VOTE
AGAINST
VOTER
PURGES

I need
YOU
to VOTE
AGAINST
HATEFUL
DIVISION

{all in white letters, blue background}
I need
YOU
to VOTE for
AFFORDABLE
HEALTH CARE

I need
YOU
to VOTE for
NATIONAL PARKS

I need
YOU
to VOTE for
EDUCATION
FOR ALL

I need
YOU
to VOTE for
SOCIAL SECURITY

I need
YOU
to VOTE
BLUE:
Democrats
FOR US

Anyway, I'm sure others can do a better job at this. Those just came to mind as I was thinking of what motivates.

Lots of people work their butts off for other people, without being paid to do so.

1. Inspiring OP, Hermit! Yes it is for our Children,

Grandchildren, and Future Generations.

Brilliant Issues to VOTE FOR & those we need to Vote Against.

A couple of Encouraging GOTV 2018 Tweets

2. thanks Cha

We're all in it together and that's the only way we can fix it.

It seems to me that people respond to a cry for help. From black voters in Georgia to Native Americans in North Dakota and all points east and west, we're getting cries for help. Those of us not purged have to stand for them.

People seem determined now. That gives me hope!

3. And, Native Hawaiians

out here in the middle of nowhere.. and us Haoles, too

To HOPE & ACTION!

4. oops

I forgot about them trying to deny Native Hawaiians exist. There are just too many offenses by these creatures.

Going to edit the OP for the children and then try to get some sleep.

5. This is great!

I don’t know why but I can’t post images or videos. Your concern about people not actually voting is so true. People feel if they say something on the internet or discuss something they have actually voted, let’s see if we can get this sentiment out there!

8. thank you!

You're right; talking about a thing sometimes becomes a substitute for doing it.

We can give them plenty to vote for and against -- it beats just appealing to civic duty or right.

6. Well done, Hermit

9. thanks!

7. All those things motivated me and influenced my vote!

And I have already voted as any sound minded American would/should. I just hit the first acceptable retirement age of 62, yesterday, and I have been telling my young associates to vote like they are on a lifeboat in the sea and their vote is like calling 911.

Righteous appeal!

10. news is constantly providing motivations

This deliberate train wreck should get a blue tsunami underway, but it's amazing how many people simply do not know what's going on.

Every day there's a new reason to "vote ... like calling 911"!
