[Lekooks] Get Out the Vote

[Fran B.]

Dear Friends,
Yesterday I invited the young black Amazon driver to sit by my pond and have a glass of ice water. He accepted and we had a wonderful political conversation that even touched on the power of prayer. I told him I believed prayer was the way God gives us the strength to act. Prayer alone will not end life's evils. Only people can do that. I encouraged him to vote in November and to get his family and friends to vote as well. I had him check out www.myvote.com<http://www.myvote.com> on his phone so he could see if he is registered. I told him he can't wait till election day to register. Like many, on both political sides, he does not follow the news. It seems most people know who they will vote for or have decided not to vote. They find news depressing and/or a waste of time.
In past elections, I went door to door. I do not feel comfortable doing so this year. I will do phone calls. Engaging workers who come to my door in a political conversation feels safe.

Fran
