November 7, 2016 Every Vote & Every Call Matters Today Salam.
Dear Supporter,
Every vote counts.
If you have already voted, spare a few hours today to make calls or text in the swing states. Click here to learn how.
If you have not voted yet, please vote first.
See below a last pitch by Imam Zia Sheikh of Texas for Hillary Clinton.
From: Imam Zia Sheikh of Texas Ten Reasons to VOTE for Hillary Rodham Clinton:
- It's either her or Trump. She's not perfect and even if you may argue Stein or Johnson are better, they are irrelevant and, given Trump has a real shot, it's a dangerous waste of your vote to cast a protest vote (unless you live in an uncontested state).
- She's a Democrat, a party which embraces us minorities and disadvantaged communities. Unless GOP unshackles itself from extremist nativists, it will cease to exist as a viable party at the national level.
- Help break the highest, hardest glass ceiling. We've done it in Bangladesh, Indonesia, Turkey and Pakistan. We can do it here, too.
- You don't want to carry the unbearable guilt of helping elect Trump for the next 4 or 8 years like #RalphNader2000 voters did when they helped elect the now innocent-looking George W. Bush.
- We have an obligation to protect whatever progress Barack Obama was able to make on domestic issues despite the often racist obstructionism of right wing extremists (not all GOP).
- If you're old enough, compare Bill Clinton's 8 years + Obama's 8 years to George W's 8 years. Those 16 years are without doubt far better by most objective measures. And remember: Trump is far worse than most regular Republicans. Cheney, Rumsfeld, Ashcroft, Rove etc have nothing on Trump, Giuliani, Christie, Flynn etc.
- Bill Clinton put an end the genocide of Muslims in the Balkans. Reward him by making him First Laddie :)
- You're not electing a saint, a spiritual leader or the Messiah, just an imperfect person to continue incremental progress. Whether you vote or not, either Hillary or Trump will be president-elect tonight. Voting for Hillary is the only way to stop Trump.
- America is your physical home. It's also your spiritual home with arguably more religious liberty than any other nation on earth. Elect someone who will protect your civil rights and religious freedoms.
- Last but not least, Bernie Sanders is with her.
