No excuses…go vote early. If you don’t have to, don’t mail it in or use the drop box. Go to the Board of Elections location and vote early in person. It’s not necessary (and in my opinion not as good) as voting early. Anything can happen that can keep you from getting there that day (medical emergencies, etc.) There are all of these unnecessary invented shenanigans going on with the mail and the drop box. This is too important…this is our opportunity to stop this unprecedented criminality and grifting. Don’t be intimidated and don’t blow it off. This is not about different political choices, but a choice between what God calls us to do and be vs. the false and harmful gospel of Christian nationalism.

📍 Early voting takes place ONLY at the Lake County Elections office.
Please do not go to your regular polling location during early voting—polling places are only open on Election Day.

This could be sung to any tune with a 9x8x9x8 meter, like "Redeemed, How I Love to Proclaim It" without the refrain. And the author is unknown.

✨The quest to “make America great again” is confounding with the accompanying roll back on rights which are being taken with the stroke of a pen, the complicity of the Supreme Court and the Congress. The attacks on diversity, equity and inclusion programs that promote and highlight the achievements of people of color and the historically marginalized have resulted in changes on university campuses and in schools.

✨ The return to what was, does not represent the teachings and ministry of Jesus, who fed the hungry and advocated for the poor, a ministry that was against the Empire of his day and the religious zealots who were unconcerned with the needs of the people and content in ensuring their place and commitment to the cruelty of the day.
