[October 30, 2014] OAKLAND. This mid-term election is critical for our country’s future. Rather than complaining and whining about the state of our communities, our schools, our taxes, the environment, etc., here is our opportunity to show up and make a difference. Electing our representatives and leaders is our civic duty and we should be proud to exercise it. The deadline has passed to mail in absentee ballots, however, it is not too late to vote in person. November 4, 2014 is the mid-term election day in California, so if you do not know where your polling place is, please visit http://bit.ly/1uaOdRr to input your home address to find out.
Since I am The Social Politician ™, I work tirelessly for my clients to effectively disseminate their message and reach as many potential voters as possible. Unfortunately, I do not have any clients running in this particular election, so for the most part, I have been sitting on the sidelines until I am retained. Nevertheless, I have many friends and colleagues running in this election, so like I have done in the past, please see their campaign websites, make donations/contributions to their campaigns if you feel compelled, and give the best candidate your vote!
