Today is the day, November 5th, election day. Many have likely already scanned their ballots at early voting polls, but for those who have yet to ink their ticket, or perhaps considering the question of “will my vote really matter?”, this article just might be for you.
It’s the 11th hour and maybe you’re still contemplating the legitimacy and capability of the best two candidates that America has to offer. If this is you, it’s okay to question the theatrical drama that has unfortunately overshadowed policy through countless media splatter campaigns and lackluster
debates. Though you might be dissatisfied with the current candidates, it’s also the very reason why it’s important to participate in current and future elections. Voting not only allows us to express our moral and political conscience, but also helps us achieve specific policy outcomes that can span across any party or political line. It’s time for America to demand substance over show, policy over personality and elect candidates that will realign our values with our roots. Change begins with you, don’t miss your opportunity to affect the outcome of this year’s election and the future of our nation.
Beyond the 2024 ballot box, other ways that you can stay connected and influence legislation, is through the support of great partners like NSSF, CSF, SAF, and the ASA; all of which are advocating for the future of our industry as well as our constitutional freedoms.
Until next time,
Bill Sumner
NASGW Chairman
