  • We need to prevent and treat substance abuse, not send people into a life of incarceration and poverty.
  • Sensible gun laws need to be established.

  • Citizens United needs to be abolished to keep dark money and corporations out of our politics.

Extras to consider adding:

  •  You can vote back in the US using the address where you last lived, even if you are no longer connected to that address.
  • Americans abroad need to request a ballot every calendar year they'd like to vote in. 

Filming guidelines:

  • Choose a quiet location
  • Check your look
  • Check your lighting. If you are shooting from your laptop or desktop putting a light behind the camera and slightly above will reduce shadowing.
  • Rehearse what you want to say out loud
  • Shoot your video in Landscape format ( we must have it in this format for conformity)
  • Position your camera or phone at eye level or slightly above.
  • Center yourself in the middle of the shot
  • Hold your chin slightly upward and speak directly into the camera.
  • Look at the camera - if you make a mistake, pause, and say the line again. We will edit the best line in.
  • Leave about 2 seconds between each sentence to allow the editing room.
  • Speak clearly and passionately
  • Ask a family member to film you is possible
  • Have Fun!!
