Hey John - it’s Mike Gallagher. Do you have a second? 

 

I wanted to reach out quickly before the madness of Election Day starts, and
take a moment to talk about how important it is to vote.

 

Voting is the very foundation of our democratic process. The right to vote and
the concept of government by the consent of the governed are at the core of our
Founders vision. This was perhaps best expressed in the 1962 John Wayne
classic, The Man Who Shot Liberty Valance: 


"The United States is a republic, and a republic is a state in which the
people are the boss. That means us. And if the big shots in Washington don't do
like we want, we don't vote for them, by golly, no more...Anymore."

 

This basic idea -- that the people are in charge -- was radical at the time of
our country's founding, but today it's easy to take for granted.

 

During my time in the Marine Corps, I served in countries where the right to
vote and the freedom to help determine your country's destiny was not
automatic. People risked their lives to vote and elections could quite
literally become a life-or-death exercise.

 

Today, the countries I served in still look to America for inspiration and
guidance. Our country remains a beacon of hope and freedom in a dark and
dangerous world. Think about that. 


Something as simple as going down to your local polling place and voting can
inspire millions of people around the world risking their lives for a fraction
of the freedom we enjoy as Americans.

 

So make sure that you get out and vote on Election Day. 


I guarantee you will feel good afterwards. After all, we are all lucky to be
Americans, citizens of the most free and prosperous country in the history of
the world. 


Let's make sure we keep it that way.
