Today is Election Day for the Primary Runoffs. Polls are open today from 7AM-7PM! As the data shows, millenials are being loud and vocal on politics yet NOT VOTING in the primary elections. This is incredibly disappointing. Millenials, try to disprove this data and get out and vote. Just complaining on social media gets us nowhere. Your vote is your voice. Check out www.vote411.org to see the candidates on your ballot and www.votetexas.gov for polling locations! 📷: @texas_tribune . . . . #WiseUp #podcast #blogpost #politicalnews #politics #news #blogging #blog #voting #vote #america #atx #austin #potd #podcasting #election #desi #southasian #hindu #sikh #muslim #texas #txlege #dallas #houston #satx #millenials
I can’t imagine being a parent and thinking what if my kid gets shot at school today? And have to think like that every freaking day. This is so unbelievably heartbreaking. For all the talk Democrats throw at Republicans about gun control, why did some Democrats take NRA money? Why doesn’t either party shut down the government for gun reform? They all talk the talk but neither party has done anything whatsoever and never will until we vote them ALL OUT. Many politicians running for election hold townhall meetings. Ask them what they intend to do about gun control. And if they get elected, hold them to what they said because a lot of them (Democrats and Republicans) all say the right words but don’t actually do anything. And if they don’t follow through, ask them why? Continue holding them accountable and it’s better to get a group within your district to keep hounding your state and federal officials. Elections are coming up in November for all Texas state officials, your state reps and your congressional reps in DC. Now is the time to start bugging them! Stop waiting for SOMEONE ELSE to do it for you, start doing it YOURSELF. Finally, a great lobby group to check out is Moms Demand Action for Gun Sense in America. . . . #WiseUp #podcast #blogpost #politicalnews #politics #news #blogging #blog #voting #vote #america #atx #austin #potd #podcasting #election #desi #southasian #texas #txlege #santafehighschool #guncontrol #gunreformnow #parents #parenting #parenthood

LOOK at how close this race was. Salman Bhojani ran for Euless City Council against an Islamaphobic candidate along with his own state candidate (Rep. Stickland) using Islamaphobic rhetoric against him. Despite all that, Salman won by 37 votes!! So happy the city of Euless refused to be defined by racism and the outcome of this election showcases how- EVERY. VOTE. COUNTS. . . . #WiseUp #podcast #blogpost #politicalnews #politics #news #blogging #everyvotecounts #voting #vote #atx #austin #potd #podcasting #election #desi #southasian #hindu #sikh #muslim #texas #txlege #euless #tuesday #municipal #city #citycouncil #everyvotematters
