Tomorrow We’re All Lobbyists

Here at the Bryce Harlow Foundation, much of our time is spent working with lobbyists and future lobbyists to help increase the quality of professional advocacy in the nation’s capital. The business of helping to develop sound public policy can sometimes seem insulated from the rest of the country, and out-of-reach to many Americans.  Tomorrow, and every other November, all of that changes as every citizen has the chance to use the most powerful lobbying tool available: their vote.

Whether you’re passionate about jobs and the economy, education, health care, entitlement reform, or any other issue – tomorrow is your chance to have your voice heard and do your part to shape our government.

To do that, you need to get to the polls.  While the most accurate and up-to-date information on where to vote is kept by your local election official, there are a number of tools available on the Internet to help you find your polling place and even show you what will be on the ballot.

Bryce Harlow once summed up his philosophy by saying: “If informed, responsible citizens… will devote an increasing share of their organizational skills and ability to influencing public affairs, then America’s liberty and America’s future will be secure.” Voting is all Americans’ greatest opportunity to do just that –  influence public affairs and secure their future.

Don’t miss your opportunity to lobby for what you care about – get out and vote tomorrow.
