Just a day away from Americans making important decisions about the future of our country. That is why I’m actively encouraging everyone who can vote, to go #GOTV. Voting is one of our great responsibilities as citizens in a democracy.
History often calls upon noble individuals in a special situation to do more. Time is now for us, all Asian Americans, Muslim American, African American, Latino, Arab Americans and all Hyphenated Americans, the FUTURE IS NOW. It begins with your vote this Tuesday. It does not matter who you vote for. It only matters that your vote is counted. The richest person in America only gets 1 vote just like you. After each election data is collected that shows how many Asian Americans, Muslim American, African American, Latino, Arab Americans and all Hyphenated Americans voted. Regardless who is elected and regardless of which elected officials, those politicians who win will see then that our VOTE MATTERS because we voted in record numbers. Then and only Then will our voices be heard. Then and only Then will our nation move forward to true racial economic and social inclusion through compassionate policies that embrace the creed: THAT ALL MEN/WOMEN ARE CREATED EQUAL. Your vote matters-only if you vote.

So, he lashed out to the Pope, He asked the lady at his rally to shut up her crying child.! He is as nasty as a person can get and people around the world is laughing at our presidential race. This is just a sampling, there are so much more…Choose our next leader wisely!
Enough? Who should you vote for? Well, there is only one Choice in this election and that choice can’t be anyone other than Hillary Clinton. Please #GOTV.
The best way we can join hands to serve our community, and fulfill our moral obligation and civic duty to help build a better nation, is to champion an end to discrimination so that ALL people can have an equal opportunity to attain the American Dream. At the end of this Civil Rights Rainbow, is a better, more abundant America for all.
Together we are strong; our voice will be loud and proud, and together we can make it a better world.
In Solidarity!
