Quote of the Day 8/12/2015

“Rather than continuing to wring our hands over the weak statistics for voter engagement, we have decided to do something to make a change and hope that other community members will feel this issue is as important as we do. We hope to empower the community with the knowledge that their vote matters.”

-Mary Jane Lindaman, a facilitator of the Tulsa League of Women Voters Voting Is Power Coalition, which is planning voter registration drives and brainstorming ideas to boost voter turnout (Source).
