Vote (and here's why): Spoken Word Poetry

Vote Because it’s a mitzvah to do Vote Because you’re an American Jew Vote Because it’s your civic duty Vote To bring the world more values, more beauty Vote Because you’ll be guiding the nation Vote Because not voting is an abdication Vote Because more important than your chatter Vote You’re representing values that really matter Vote For our Jewish values that encompass Vote Torah’s call for chesed (kindness), rachamim (compassion) and tzedek (justice) Vote Do not be numb Vote Because it’s part of tikkun olam Vote (Especially if you’re a thirty- or twenty-something) Vote (Because yes, your vote actually means something) Vote Your ballot will require time to peruse Vote Then check off whomever you choose Vote Instead of lying awake Vote Because there’s too much at stake Vote Because you’re American Jew Vote And make sure your friends and your kids (if you have them) vote too
