Go Vote!

Go Vote!

We are taking off this week and reminding everyone - GO VOTE!

Find your local polling place.

Advice on voting from John Wesley (founder of the Methodist Church):

“October 6, 1774

I met those of our society who had votes in the ensuing election, and advised them

1. To vote, without fee or reward, for the person they judged most worthy

2. To speak no evil of the person they voted against, and

3. To take care their spirits were not sharpened against those that voted on the other side.”
