In these days of megamilion and billion $$$ campaigns here is some uplifting news from a community of primarily poor families along the
Mexican/ American border to get out the vote.
So, we began with the difficult. And we preached the importance of standing up and being counted. Of speaking, so as to be heard. “Mi voto es mi voz.” And of knocking on doors, and knocking on more doors.
Early voting began on this past Monday. By Wednesday, papers statewide were reporting an astonishment--voting in the Valley was up over 200%. Two hundred per cent more people were voting this year.
