Voluntary Donations for Voter Education and Mobilization

broken image

Democracy is about choice. And its backbone is in elections that are carried out periodically as specified in the constitution. This therefore means that you seasonally have an opportunity to put into office people that you feel will advocate for issues that are close to your heart instead of incumbents for whom your agenda may certainly be far lost and therefore engage in ways that do not support the majority. Obviously the economy should be a priority, a pillar to guide you in your quest for leadership selection. While this may be so it is imperative that the voting masses get aligned in one uniform direction because it is only from a collective standpoint that credible agenda is voted for come the next election day. The best way to bring about a common understanding is to be part and parcel of a forum that opts to educate AFSCME Texas State Employees on the best positions to vote.

It is common knowledge that when elected politicians legislate to support the wealthy it is the poor down below that suffer the most, especially on the part of taxation. It then becomes a struggle for working families and public services are immensely affected much to the points where people’s rights are trampled and benefits are often revised downwards. It is for these painful reasons that you need to get involved by joining groups that fight for working families through election of candidates who support workers and generally the middle class for whom life is often cutthroat. Your support is easily by making voluntary contribution as a member of such a group. The donations go a long way in reaching voters and preaching the good agenda while urging as many people as possible to come out and vote in the end.

As a group member, a family member or a retiree it is easy to make your contribution any time, this can be online through your credit card. If you would like to make a large one time or periodic contributions it remains upon your discretion and comfort. Remember that you will be able to forward your donations only as long as you are a registered member of the group, complete with a membership card bearing the all-important membership number. Any assistance needed can be requested through contact that is usually found online for such groups.

As a member you become part of an eager citizenry that is out to restore the lost luster of the middle class. Your contributions however little go a long way; and remember that the donations are not subject to any federal taxation just as much as they are voluntary. You are not obligated to contribute any funds as a member but should you forward contributions from nonmembers, they will be returned. On the flip side members are subjected to rewards that are dependent on the different categories and levels of their contributions. These rewards may be in the form of branded merchandise to elicit the gratitude towards your efforts in positively changing your community.
