Political Quotes

“Madam Speaker, I rise today to acknowledge and thank HeadCount, a nonpartisan organization that uses the power of music to register voters and promote participation in democracy. They reach young people and music fans where they already are--online and at concerts across the country--from Dead & Company to the Dixie Chicks. Their message is not about what political party you support or what issues you care about but, instead, that, as younger voters, you must be heard. Let's face it. The single greatest determining factor to whether or not you vote is likely age. That means older people often get heard on issues that are important to them, which can be different than those of younger voters. Whether you care about commonsense gun violence protections, global warming, or equality for everyone, HeadCount is a platform to help people get heard. Thank you, HeadCount.org, for all you do in broadening our democracy. ____________________”
