An Election Plea

We are a couple of Boomers who humbly apologize to younger generations for the messy world we have left you. Yet having said that, we now tell you that this is your opportunity to act in ways that will make your world better!

10/17/26 is the next “No Kings Day” and 11/3/26 is America’s crucial Election Day. We implore young people to show up for both. We need to see more purple hair, along with the gray! Although we Boomers may have messed up a lot of things…notably by focusing mainly on making money and by electing Republicans, we’ll soon be gone and the effects of these bum decisions will fall on YOU and your families.

So we ask anyone who will be 18 by 11/3 to make sure you are registered to vote, to educate yourselves on the issues and the candidates…and to SHOW UP! We also ask teachers, professors, coaches and parents to encourage you. There are plenty of people in power conspiring to suppress your right to vote.

You know, we Boomers may have made mistakes, but we also showed up to protest the Vietnam War and to promote the Civil Rights movement. Our voices were heard. We made a difference…SO CAN YOU!
