Christina -- Our rights are on the line, and with only one month until the election – the time has come to vote! Don’t delay, the stakes have never been higher. If you haven’t requested your ballot do so today at www.votefromabroad.org
The GOP is trying to play the blame game and soften their hard-liner approach to abortion. For years the GOP worked to tear down Roe vs.Wade and they proudly succeeded. Now that they think they may lose the election, they change their rhetoric. We need to protect women’s rights, affordable health care, the environment, and veteran’s rights, to name a few. Harris will continue to grow the economy & encourage job growth. It is our future - vote for it! Keep in mind the deadline for registering in many states is fast approaching. The date to request your ballot for registered voters is normally later, but soon we will run out of time to mail in our ballots. DO NOT DELAY.
