This is a huge opportunity for New Yorkers to make sure the result of this election reflects our ballots. We need to come together as a community and let our voices be heard. WACharlie Rangel for Congress Not too long ago, less than 50 years ago, many individuals won the painstaking fight to rectify a system that restricted our right to vote. The fight was long and bard. However, today — we are seeing aggressive legislative actions that would repeal all the protections of the voting rights act of 1965. Now more than ever we need to show that we still treasure our right to vote. Election Day (today!) is a moment when we have the power to change the political landscape. People who vote have a powerful impact on public policy and government. Our policy and political concerns won't be heard if we do not vote. I hope you will join us in casting your ballot; signifying the pride we take in our civil duty to do so.
